00:0025-year-old estate agent Susie Lampleau put an appointment with a mysterious Mr Kipper at a property in Shoralds
00:09Road in Fulham in her work diary on the day she vanished.
00:13She left the office of Sturgis & Sons at 12.30pm on 28 July 1986 and never returned. Her company
00:25car, a white Ford Fiesta, was later found abandoned in nearby Stevenage Road. She was legally declared presumed dead in
00:341993.
00:35Miss Lampleau's disappearance sparked one of the largest ever missing persons investigations in the UK. The inquiry is the only
00:45Metropolitan Police case that still uses the old 1980s card index system in case any crucial piece of written information
00:55from the time has been overlooked.
00:57The force is set to move the inquiry to an inactive phase in 12 months' time, meaning that while new
01:04information will be followed up, the team will no longer actively work on the case.
01:10John Cannon, the prime suspect, died in prison in November 2024 while serving a jail sentence for the 1987 abduction
01:20and murder of Bristol newlywed Shirley Banks.
01:23Police presented a file of evidence to prosecutors in 2002, but there was not enough to charge him.
