And she was 15 on the day of her disappearance not 16 as many reports state

And she was 15 on the day of her disappearance not 16 as many reports state

No. She was undoubtedly 16 (and nearly 17). Her birthdate is widely reported as 31 January 1979 but, most importantly, this is confirmed (at least to the quarter) by a birth record on Ancestry for Q1 1979 for Ruth Wilson to a mother with a maiden name of Landeg.

 

[Inspector wise]

Ok I though she was 15.

 

[mrC]

if she was 15 she wouldent be in the 6 form she must of been at least 16 or she would be in the 5 form

 

[Inspector wise]

I've seen this mentioned elsewhere and I'm just wondering if anybody has any further info. Is it the case that Ruth said words to the effect of, "its something to remember me by", when out for a meal with friends prior to going missing? And that she also insisted on paying for everyone?

I appreciate this is a very complex and multi-faceted case, and I'm not necessarily reading into this too much. I'm just wondering if anybody can clarify further. Thank you

The teenage girl who vanished from Surrey beauty spot 28 years ago

The case has baffled detectives for nearly three decades

www.getsurrey.co.uk

• 'Ruth Wilson was just 16 when she set off for Box Hill from Dorking train station in a taxi. The teenager was dropped off in a layby at the Surrey beauty spot at around 4.30pm that day, and was never seen again.'

''The taxi driver who dropped Ruth off at the layby near The Box Tree pub reported that as he drove away, she stood still in the rain. Journalist Martin Bright noted in the Real Stories documentary Ruth was either waiting for the taxi to leave before she moved to her next destination, or she was waiting for another car to pick her up, suggesting a third party involvement. It isn’t clear what her next movements were after that''

''Sightings have been reported as far as Canada, however Ruth’s friend Roxy Birch said in the documentary that it couldn’t be possible considering Ruth didn’t drive or have a passport at the time of her disappearance.''

why would she need to go there for another car to pick her up why couldent the car have picked in town

 

[Mayfly]

why would she need to go there for another car to pick her up why couldent the car have picked in town

Maybe because there was more chance of being spotted in town, if she was being collected she didn't want anyone to see the car or driver. Another possibility is whoever picked her up arranged where to meet because it was on their route.
