“At a fast food restaurant” makes me think of a drive through. You can imagine the rest. I’m guessing nobody knew it was WC and the police simply hadn’t followed up yet as they receive so many complaints of IE - which is a story in itself.
Maybe when SE went missing they started looking at recent incidents and his car was flagged - and then was also seen on the cctv linked to Sarah’s disappearance.
These are exactly my thoughts too. McDs drive through - which is more likely to be described as a ‘restaurant’ than say a kebab shop might be.
If he wasn’t wearing a disguise, and his colleagues had taken the report more seriously and followed up on it (just my opinion that they didn’t) would they have recognised him from the cctv I wonder? Or is the force so big in London that they’re not likely to know every colleague personally. And perhaps the cctv would not have been clear enough to make a distinct identification anyway.
I’m absolutely not saying this justifies not investigating reports of IE thoroughly - if that had been done in Libby’s case there might have been a better ending too. But it might sadly not have changed things here. He was brazen and escalating. Unless they identified him from the cctv and arrested him I believe it was very much his intention to move on to more risky crimes.
I don’t think the officers are being investigated for not suspending him. I don’t think they investigated it seriously and ascertained it was him in the first place.
MOO.
