Found Deceased UK - Anthony Knott, 33, last seen at a pub in Lewes, Sussex, 20 Dec 2019 #2

[Ruthbullock]

This clip has been discussed on Lewes present several times as I said the police have looked into him. Some people said he is often about running round town in the comments, there was also something on at the church that night, so people have said he might have nipped up had a look and left again. Personally have no idea what he was doing, but read posts over and over again reassuring people it was not relevant and whilst I don’t believe everything people say on SM sites- some of these replies were from family members. Search for red jacket or running man on Lewes present and I’m sure it will pull up the posts and comments.

My first thought is rather than holding another coat "black" is it just the coat lining is black ?

He does seem to be acting odd even if slowed down but not sure how it could be relevant to AK as other people were close by and he spends such short periods of time off the main rd

First time i've seen this footage. I really hope they've identified and spoken to the man with the red jacket because imho, his behavior in that video is strange to say the least. I know it's been sped up slightly, but he looks really panicked. Even when he's looking into the windows it doesn't look like he's simply looking at a poster in the window, to me it looks like he's looking inside...

Obviously I am not implying this man has anything to do with Anthony going missing, just thought it was very very strange.

If i remember rightly a few people suggested on Lewes present that red jacket man was well known lically.

I definitely saw a post from her asking for all theories

I can also confirm that as well. I saw it. I dont think she was aiming at the world but rather the poster she was responding to. Blimey she will be unindated.

Market Street Sighting.
Well this is only a personal opinion with just a few thoughts.

AK left The Lamb Fisher Street at 7:16 pm both front and back entrance have a camera. One has to assume he was picked up leaving on one of these two cameras (Rightly or Wrongly)

AK was picked up on a camera opposite the Elephant & Castle at 7:19 pm the E&C has a camera covering its front door. AK was still travelling in the same direction. Again Assuming AK was picked up on the E&C camera.

AK was picked up on a camera in Market Street at 7:41pm he was now going back in the direction he came from. Basically this means he was returning from where ever he had been. Assuming I got the camera right which I think I did.

Motive for leaving Pub go and get some ciggies.

Mistake one turned left instead of right ended up at E&C

Coincidence phone ran out of battery. (Maybe)

Got his bearing or got directions made his way to Waitrose

Purchased Ciggies and tried to make his way back to the Lamb via Market Street and then perhaps Market LANE.

He appears not to turned Right onto west street which would have taken him back to the E&C as HE passed the turning in order to get captured by the Hair for Men CCTV

Got as far and passed the hair for men Camera walking towards it.

Did not get as far as the High Street as far as we know. No Camera sightings so far

If he turned right off Market STREET into Market LANE back to the Lamb he didn't get as far as the back entrance of the Lamb as far as we know.

So Armature Sleuth reckons what ever happened happened past Hair for Men and in Market LANE before the back entrance of The Lamb

All Of Course in my own humble opinion and based on the information we have so far

Cameras

Sorce from

Kent Live

Google Maps MM Sleuthing

The only other thing of interest that way is the Police Station on North Street not far from the Flea Market

Is there Art in the windows he looks in ?

I’m not sure where this camera is or what the building is...

whay about the clip / stills showing what seems to be three blokes fighting and one on the floor getting a kicking, seems like it’s this same type of area. Have these people came forward or been ruled out? About midnight I think maybe a little later... what is down that side street as well, seems busy people coming and going which lessened my queries about whether something had gone on down there.

Why are we going again and again over footage that has been deemed irrelevant by family?

 

[motherofdaughters]

I came by to see if there was any new information.
Have also caught up on the FB pages but just as little new information on there too.
If he did go in the water, it's warming up a little (at least it is here) so there's potential for him to surface sooner than later.
Although I'm still not sold on water unless it was a very unfortunate accident.

 

[motherofdaughters]

I've read that they are 99.9% sure he's not in Lewes anymore but can't find a MSN source (or any) for this, has anyone seen one

I equally am not sold on the River/Water idea he was well away and walking away from it when last seen @7:41pm although it is not impossible, depending on what happened.

I didn’t see much discussion about the three men, sorry

No source and a family member Leonie also asked who had said that and was there a source.

What also makes me dubious is they searched a 4 mile stretch three times looking for AK. They then searched almost two weeks later and recovered two bodies. It is really unfortunate and awful if he is in the water and during all these searches hasn’t been found.

I'm sure you know but for those that don't, most bodies sink to the river bed.
When the decomposition is at such a stage they then float.
When the temp in 5 degrees and under (water temp) it takes much longer for that to happen and can take weeks and months.

*may be a slight discrepancy as it's off the top of my head, I'll find a link

This also shows that bodies don't actually travel very far very often.

Thank you. So no truth in it that we can prove?

 

[motherofdaughters]

@CoverMeCagney I think it was you but apologies if not.
Did you post a map with times and sightings on?
I've just scrolled back and can't see it for looking.
I wanted to look where the river was in relation to his last sighting and direction etc.
Not that it will shed a huge amount of light, he could have been wandering for hours after the last sighting I guess

One of those bodies was a man in his 60s who, before jumping off Wylies Bridge, had secured a plastic milk carton containing a suicide note to his body so the 'message in a bottle' floated to the surface and alerted passers by.
He clearly wanted to be found and was recovered the next day, I believe.

Who was the second body?
