IMBW, but wasn't it a red Sierra that was associated with him, and the hair found in it had a partial DNA match to Sandra Court, not Suzy. The DNA was insignificant as it would have been consistent with a large percentage of the population.

If there was also a red Fiesta, I have missed that.
It is actually claimed Cherwell that both suzy and Cannan's dna were found in the red Sierra but it could not be proved that both were in the car at the same time ...this is the same car that a dna sample of sandra courts was found too but in her case it was that it was incomplete .

Does this mean that a complete sample for suzy was found and a complete sample for Cannan was found but was deemed circumstantial because it couldn't be proved both were in the car together.

Surely if this was the case it is more than circumstantial and more than a coincidence in light of what happened suzy .obviously I don't understand how courtroom law fully works but isn't all evidence like this circumstantial unless culprit is caught red handed ??
 
Let's take a look at all the information in the public domain that possibly points cannan being the culprit so on the law of probability we can see if all arrows point in his direction

Staying in a prison halfway house nearby which may have had a curfew minimum 8pm to 6am or maximum 11pm to 8am . A lot of these hostels had activities up until 5pm with the aim of integrating offenders back into the community

Liked professional woman doesn't mean all his love interests were though

Possible match of suzy's Dna in red fiesta or red Sierra located during 2000 review as far as I'm aware

Known as kipper depending on version of story nickname either post or pre dates him being named a suspect

Possible evidence in 1987 to pinpoint him as a suspect but never acted on

Imo very vague resemblance to the first photofit given by HR . Cannan has thick eyebrows that can't be mistaken and this would stand out .both photofits have thinner ones sketched

Suzy was allegedly dating a Bristol businessman . How long ago and was Cannan in prison or the hostel

May or May not have been seen throwing a suitcase into the canal evidence given by lorry driver but its also stated he walked by Cannan AFAIK

Cannan was allegedly active in his pursuit of female agents as a Mr Kipper was canvassing other estate agents in the area

A woman swears she saw cannan looking in sturgis window

Cannan is taller than suzy by between 2 and 3 inches according to reports he may be responsible for moving the seat of the car back

His ex girlfriend claims he was obsessed with the case and pointed to Norton barracks as to where Cannan said Suzy’s body is but she could be wrong and said it could have been the other barracks

Cannan is suspected of having access to a dark coloured bmw . He is some man for one man if he managed to drive 3 cars and control / murder suzy all in the space of a couple of hours so white fiesta moved to Stevenage. And possibly drove around town to Shorrolds, Palace Road(bw sighting ) and wherever else BMW sighted at similar times and transport suzy in a red fiesta which is how her dna possibly got there ??

The SB car reg plate SLP

He was a rapist at the time and possibly had murdered in hindsight (SC )before suzy

May have been a patron of wine bar and POW

Cellmate/ fellow prisoner said he buried suzy under his mother's patio ,garden or car repair pit he had there

Scotland yard and the met publicly named him as a suspect therefore they might have evidence not known to us ?? Cps thought it circumstantial so hardly incriminating

Am I leaving anything out
We know the body in the service pit was false because it was dug up in 2018, all the points you make are neutralized because JC and SLP cannot be placed together, were any other possible suspects eliminated to that point?

Sorry my stab at sarcastic black humour was taken as serious

From my previous postings on the thread its well highlighted I suspect it was someone other than Cannan. And just like you observed the points in the post have been neutralised.
My post was in response to a poster saying what evidence is there to point to Cannan ? and does anyone believe he did it . It was a meant to be a mild sarcastic post to convey that well if that's all the evidence they have .LE are barking up the wrong tree imo .

AFAIK ,all other suspects were eliminated by there truths being taken as fact and no indiscrepancies in their Statements were independently verified except for AL who had 11 independent statements to clear his name . And possibly MG by police discreetly questioning the business associates he was at lunch with ,( in AS book ) Even the Belgian diamond dealer refused to say why he didn't report his bmw stolen or why it was in London and this was OK???

What is the source for Suzy's DNA being found in the Sierra?
 
This subject has been discussed before on the thread, and the info was from Christopher Berry-Dee.
So no reliable source then.
Look - not only does he believe the car numberplate nonsense, but he's conflated it with the Sierra.

“They found the car when the case was re-opened in 2000, and I understand they did find trace evidence of both Cannan and Suzy Lamplugh.
“That proves they had both been in the car at some point in their lives.
“He also had his own number plate put on with the registration SLP 386. The SLP could represent Suzy Lamplugh’s initials, the number three could represent his third victim and the last two numbers may indicate 1986.
 
So no reliable source then.

You’re on the button, if LE had any such evidence they’d have made it very clear.
As it is, it’s obviously none conclusive and would be shot down in a court case.
 

I found this article on the unidentified bodies thread . It's interesting up until the article date 2016 that dna was not taken from many of the bodies found and some of the unfortunate people are buried in shared graves and also lie in single graves and morgues across Britain.

I often wondered was suzy among these and considering police couldn't get a blood group for her or none on a medical file could be found Samples were taken from DL and PL to get a DNA profile . We all have a uniqueness to our DNA and I had pondered would it provide a good enough match if a unidentified body was found in decomposed state. A lot of Caucasians would carry similar markers on their DNA which is why a lot of profiles gathered by LE are inadmissible in court

I have a little knowledge on DNA profiling and genetics . Having been to a geneticist for inherited disorders .And this would have been pointed out to me that although we carry some of our parents profile in our DNA we also have a uniqueness that allows the specialist to tell whether the sample is from the parent or the child ,the aunt ,the uncle etc

This is one of the weirder things. The police claim is that this was Cannan's nickname in jail. The source of this appears to be GP who herself attributed it to....JC. It is far from clear that Cannan's prison nickname was Kipper before he was mentioned in connection with SJL by the press. Thereafter, it's plausible that the other cons called him this as a form of black humour. It's not obvious why else this would previously have been his nickname. If it were, it would be dumb even by Cannan standards to use it as a fake name. As I have said before, it's as though Machine Gun Kelly or Pretty Boy Floyd were to book appointments as Mr Machine Gun or Mr Pretty Boy.

DV's suggestion that she thought it up in a nanosecond because her mate John "Herring" Kipper lived in Shorrolds actually makes more sense.

according to detective jim dickie who was SIO in 2000. JC was breaking the hostel curfew all the time and would go missing for days at a time, and it was during this time he started stalking SL. we will never know how many times he left the hostel, but maybe it was not all the time like DS dickie thinks. he also believes JC was staying somewhere in london after he was released from the scrubs on the 25th july, but does not have a clue where. its all just speculation. no wonder the CPS didnt bring charges.

When jc was released from Scrubs he was staying in the prison hostel .prehaps Jim thought he stayed in London during the 3 days after being released from the hostel ,on being questioned cannan mentioned he went straight to his mother's in one account and in another claims he arrived at his mother's on the 28th .
He is a liar by nature but I don't believe with what is in the public domain that Cannan was clever enough to pull it off ,a smooth talker with the ladies prehaps ,an opportunistic rapist and killer yes ,someone capable of ensuring suzy never be found or that no forensic evidence left behind definitely not .This is the work of a more meticulous, calculated individual
