On 28 July 1986, 25-year-old estate agent Suzy Lamplugh left her office in Fulham to show a property to a client known only as "Mr Kipper." She was never seen again.

Nearly four decades later, her disappearance remains one of Britain's most haunting unsolved mysteries.

Witness sightings, mysterious phone calls, suspicious vehicles, evolving forensic evidence, and the emergence of convicted killer John Cannan have kept investigators searching for answers.

In this documentary, we examine the complete timeline of Suzy Lamplugh's disappearance, the police investigation, the evidence, and the theories that continue to surround one of the UK's most famous missing persons cases.

This is one of the cases that I just want to see solved. The family deserve some sort of closure.

I'm obsessed with this one. I have looked at the roads on Google earth more than once!

You always have newspaper clippings and tidbits nobody else has. Even I can never find them!

I remember when this happened - hard to believe its 40 years ago now. I think the evidence re the Ford Sierra really points towards Cannan, and the police certainly seem to think that. It's very strange that there was no forensic evidence in Suzy's car, or the house. So I think it was very much planned in advance. If it was Cannan at least he spent a lot of years behind bars. Just a shame Suzy's parents didn't get any sort of resolution.

The dyslexia Suzy suffered from raises questions about the name that has always been associated with this case, I hope they had specialists examine her writing to find out in which ways she misspelled words most commonly. I also know police quite rightly keep hold back evidence to themselves in most cases, in this particular instance it backfired very badly, I also have doubts that Canaan would never once say anything to incriminate himself in all of the years he was imprisoned, he was a depraved murderer but I am not convinced he took Suzy's life. The worst aspect of the case is her family never knowing what happened, this must be the worst torture anyone has to go through. I hope that this case is solved soon so her remaining relatives and friends know what happened, I am not going to use the word closure as nobody gets closure when a family member or friend dies.

A very thorough and engaging description of what may of happened to Suzy and who could be the culprit. Thank you. The Suzy Lamplugh Trust founded by Suzy's mother Diana has done some great work for raising awareness regarding stalking and personal safety.

I’ve seen a few accounts of Suzy’s case but none as in-depth as this one with many facts I’d never heard of before. So sad for her and her family that the person responsible was never caught. I’ve always felt Canaan was most likely responsible but we’ll probably never know. Rest in peace Suzy,never forgotten

Very sad I hope her family get closure

@burnleyfan11965 2 months ago

The evidence does somewhat point to Canaan. Especially the forensics from the red Sierra. I dont think the address where she met Mr. Kipper was where they actually ended up else why did Suzy park so far from Sharrolds Road. 40 years on Tuesday and i remember this so clearly from the time. I hope whatever happened was quick for Suzy. Hopefully one day they will find her remains

Very enjoyable thank you.

@earth0128 2 months ago

Another brilliantly researched video.
Hyped 👍
I think Suzy met him prior to that day, Cannan is possible.
If so, he maintains power and control over her.
Very sad there is no resolution.
