A still shot taken from Stevenage Road of the white Fiesta...

Is that THE other white car parked across the road?!


Surely not.

Possibly with JC in mind, by June 1987 the police consider SL ‘dropped’ Kipper at a ‘building to do business’ He ‘invites her in’ things then go wrong. Later he joins friends at a South London pub.

The timeline is off but their ideas are interesting (!)

Was the person @Clairybums flags ever a person of interest?

So the Police are suggesting that she was never at 37 Shorrolds Road according to that article by The People? What about the 3 sightings? This is only a year after the fact. Unless it's just a made up theory by the journalist. No Police on the record. Not even a Police source said.

37 Shorrolds was considered a possible invention by SL right at the beginning of the investigation by the police (AS).

Not everyone agreed with sequence of events & the very confused timeline didn’t help.

My guess is the car across the road looks like an Austin Maestro but i could well be wrong.

For his ‘regular drink’ at lunchtime in a ‘South London’ pub suggests some investigation along these lines (?)

There’s another article suggesting accomplices I will look for.

IIRC Barley thought in 1986 that she never went to Shorrolds.

Yes, some of the DV surmises weren’t new. This ‘errand’ has also been problematic, I think, for some on investigation re: timescales. The police appear to think the ‘secret’ diary/contact book was ‘salacious’ (DV) at least in part. Given AN in it & investigated etc there might be supporting evidence here too.

No one would want a book like that to linger indefinitely in a pub in a stranger’s hands. KH did read through it to try to find owner’s contact details. In 80s usually you’d put these on inside cover or first page. The fact it didn’t have these and family friends never seen it before (DV) might suggest it was very private indeed.

@ScotsPaddy That is indeed correct. That's an Austin Maestro for sure.
