UK UK - Suzy Lamplugh, 25, Fulham, 28 Jul 1986 #8

And i wonder how far it was from his address?

Do we know where he was living at the time?

 

[Officer Dibble]

It was a neighbour in Disraeli who referenced SL as ‘Susan’.

The ‘Susan’ VV referencing is a Swedish model I think. He is talking to the friend.

It was ‘Sarah’ calling the pub. VV poss not using the women’s real names.

Is there an Italian alias that sounds like ‘Kipper’?

Motor sports - yes a ‘scary’ date, about May.

BBM: Yes! Chiappa (pronounced Kee-ap-pah - say it fast not slow) Or Quippa (pronounced Kweep-pah) . I found these on google. It also said "If you are researching a specific family, it is highly likely that "Kippa" in an Italian context is a variation of a similarly spelled, more common Southern Italian name. "

Do we know where exactlyl VV was from in Italy? Often surnames have regional ties.

Isnt that photo the father of VV?

No

But was he was looking through net curtains?

I think he was, but not sure if this was reported at the time.

It looks that way in reconstruction - is he playing himself? (I think so & age fits).

That said he might have lifted net if watching his expensive car (relative said to DV).

 

[Officer Dibble]

No

Are you sure? I watched part of documentary and it mentioned VV father and they showed this photo.

On another point, how did VV get mentioned in here? How does his name come into this?

 

[WestLondoner]

He had indeed been back to 37 Shorrolds with a colleauge, but had found no sign of Susannah in or out of the house

And once again we wonder how he checked for signs in the house if SJL had the keys...

I'm feeling I didn't make best use of the 1980s. The only Swedish model in my life was a Volvo 480.

HR did not know SL, so he could hardly say it was her.

That didn't stop the police!

I am certain. I have books on him & his autobiography complete with photos.

I’ve long thought he looked like the widely known ‘Kipper’ photofit & he was in the Fulham area at right time looking for a flat. A few coincidences…

His home town was Ascoli, Pinceno. Lived in Rome for many years.

Yes, @Klclevi helpfully shared an old newspaper article last week in which it was said he was looking through net curtains.

Excellent posts @Klclevi - in particular it’s interesting to see it mentioned that Suzy’s purse was in the glove compartment of her car, this is also where the Suzy Lamplugh Trust say it was found. And on HR, he says he glimpsed the couple outside 37SR for no more than 2-3 seconds, I knew it wasn’t a great look at them that he got but didn’t realise it was that short a time period. And through net curtains! He’s described as seeing ‘Susie’ but as we know now he never actually positively identified seeing her.
