Wendy saw the car on her way to the bank. The time on the bank clock was 12.40 p.m., so the car was there before Suzy left the office. Suzy was seen driving on Fulham Palace Road at 2.45 p.m., and John Cannan was driving on the M1 towards the West Midlands then. I have spoken to the witness who saw Suzy on Fulham Palace Road she was a personal friend of Suzy and even waved to her

This case is so deep. I believe JC was out of the area heading towards Birmingham. I'm not totally sure that Barbara (?) had the 2:45 time right but she did at least know Suzy. Your car comment puzzles me. If Suzy's car was here before Suzy left the office then Suzy never used it. Could it be that she left at 12:35 or 12:37? If the bank clock is precise to GMT (a long shot) then the timeline still works if the Sturgis clock was a couple of minutes fast. It's a very short drive from Sturgis to Stevenage Road. Where are you on the Shorrolds viewing?

The car was there before Suzt left the office the keys to 37 never left the office and the vendor confirmed to my researcher that there was only one set. The white fiesta was on Stevenage Road before Wendy left to walk to the bank and it never moved because Suzy was driving the decoy car when she was seen in Fulham Palace Road my researchers spent weeks covering every detail and even had lunch with the office junior as was then he drove the Fiesta before Suzy

Wasn't there also a sighting of a young lady matching Suzy's description and a well dressed man sat on the grass in Bishops Park talking wasn't there? which was close by too ....not sure if this was ruled out

I don't remember the sitting on the grass but that is where the left-hand drive BMW was seen. The two occupants might have been arguing and the car screeched off from the area. This has not been ruled out and has featured on all the Crimewatch reconstructions.
