I suspect she ended up in the canal (Grand Union Canal it is called I guess) where a man came across someone resembling a certain suspect carrying a large suitcase on a pathway near a bridge. He then noticed a loud splash etc. (so the story goes). Did the police search the canal?

As for the Fiesta found abandoned at about 10 pm with the driver s seat pushed back and the door unlocked here my theory:

Suzy was abducted in her own car that afternoon by the certain suspect who had a history in abducting women in their own cars (1 rape victim abducted in her car by the suspect, 1 abduction (unsuccessful, Julia H. was her name?, murder victim Shirley Banks, whose car was found in the suspect s garage)

Barbara Witfield, a friend of Suzy, testified that she had seen Suzy driving in her car with a male passenger in Fulham around lunchtime that day.

My theory:

Suzy and the suspect both arrived in their cars at the first house she wanted to show the "client" in Sherrolds Road. After that she decided to show him another house for sale. She drove to Stevenage Road in the Fiesta with the suspect following her in his own car.

She parked in front of the garage in Stevenage Road, the suspect parked his car nearby. She showed him the second house for sale near Stevenage Road. After that they decided to drive to some place for having lunch, using her car (that happened in the time frame when Barbara Witfield spotted her driving down Fulham Palace Road with a male passenger (the suspect) in her white Fiesta).

During the "lunch break" she was abducted in her own car by the suspect who then harmed her and/ or hid her in his home.

As he was keen on collecting his own car, he then drove back to Stevenage Road in the Fiesta. As he was in a hurry, he didn t bother pushing the driver s seat back in "Suzy position" and he did not lock the car as he didn t care about it. He then collected his own car and drove away. The Fiesta s car keys were never found as far as I learned, he most likely threw them away later.
