Exactly. I think locals like me are sort of trying to make sense of what essentially cannot be made sense of.
Opportunistic/random/stratospherically bad luck. (Potentially all, none, combination of the above).
It’s why it’s got so many people talking because of this very reason.
I agree, before this if someone said someone could be abducted on a red route/main road with police cars and buses passing within a 5 minute window in London I would say no absolutely not!! Us women walk around feeling scared when hurrying along the roads off the main roads at night, feeling safer and opting for the main roads even if a longer walk. So there are so many rational minds trying to work out logically how could this happen especially as suspect is a police officer which adds so many more layers. Alas, like OP said it seems like she was "stratospherically unlucky" given the thousands of women walking home through parts of London and UK every night of the year (including lockdown) including dark and unlit side roads and country roads....for this to happen on a main road. Tragic.
