You're probably right. For all I know they did try to track down his former properties/workplaces, and as you and the police said he used aliases and did not want to be found which made everything all the more difficult for them. It's just so frustrating she has been there for so long. Thanks...

I get that the police can't search every house. I wouldn't expect that. But I wish after his suicide they had investigated his whereabouts while on the run and located this address. It wouldn't have saved Leah, but her family would have had answers years ago and maybe her brother would still be...

Also possible she visited a sexual assault referral centre (SARC) where evidence can be collected without a report to the police being made. What is a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC)? | Rape Crisis England & Wales I'm so wary of saying too much due to the case being sub judice, but it's...

Couldn't say this better myself. Thank you.

WHOLE LIFE TARIFF <modsnip>

Sentence to be passed at 11.30

Sturman is now seeming to suggest that if Couzens got a whole life sentence then it would deter other killers from pleading guilty at an early stage #SarahEverard https://twitter.com/totalcrime/status/1443505707500847104?s=21

Sturman suggests a tariff of 35-37 years for Couzens (who is 48) would amount to the same as a whole life sentence. #SarahEverard https://twitter.com/totalcrime/status/1443505480106643461?s=21

Sturman is now arguing about whether Couzens posing as a police officer (when he was a police officer) should not be treated as an aggravating factor deserving of Whole Life #SarahEverard https://twitter.com/totalcrime/status/1443505212736557058?s=21

Sturman says it was a "truly horrible crime" with "dreadful consequences" for Sarah's family. But he insists it does not deserve a whole life sentence #SarahEverard https://twitter.com/totalcrime/status/1443504912218927106?s=21

Sturman says the family of Couzens were "staggered" by his "inexplicable" behaviour. He said it is to be hoped that therapy in prison might unlock the reasons why he did what he did. #SarahEverard https://twitter.com/totalcrime/status/1443504677165883395?s=21

:confused: Sturman says Couzens used his own credit card to hire the car and did not seek to disguise himself. He says this is inconsistent with an intention to kill. He has admitted strangling her with the (police) belt #SarahEverard https://twitter.com/totalcrime/status/1443504457426292739?s=21

Sturman says "there is very little evidence" he travelled to London with the intent of murdering a woman, although he did intend to rape and kidnap a woman. #SarahEverard https://twitter.com/totalcrime/status/1443504166211661827?s=21

Sturman says mental health professionals have examined Couzens. He says Couzens has not faked mental illness or tried to pull the wool over the eyes of a jury. He says Couzens has shown "genuine remorse" #SarahEverard https://twitter.com/totalcrime/status/1443503641420345346?s=21

Sturman: "Nothing I say today is intended to minimise the horror of what the defendant did that night. He makes no excuses" https://twitter.com/totalcrime/status/1443502178627428356?s=21 Sturman says Couzens is filled with self-loathing and shame, "and he should be"...
