i think this photo is from oct 1986, when crimewatch aired the reconstruction.

The Crimewatch reconstruction was aired on Friday 17th October 1986 (or possibly Thursday 16th October 1986), so this image of the Red Sierra parked in Stevenage Road, had to have been filmed sometime between August to early October 1986.

It would then take a few days of post-editing to make the footage ready to be aired on the TV, so I would imagine that August or September are most likely.

Indeed. 37 Shorrolds Road and the name Mr Kipper was in her diary and as per the Crimewatch reconstruction another witness, I think called Henry Doyle saw them and said the man was holding a bottle of champagne with a ribbon round it. It would have to be a strange quirk of fate for it not

Doyle not necessarily focused on 37 - other houses nearby for sale. Yes, though, of course SL & ‘Kipper’ obvious candidates…

The police did consider the above, the viewing a ruse by SL. Also the fact she - the woman seen - was very blonde commented on by a few. SL just wasn’t from evidence we do have. They didn’t actively consider it might be someone other than SL in vicinity. Can we blame them for that?
