Case 48
Suzy Lamplugh
At midday on July 28 1986, 25-year-old British real estate agent Suzy Lamplugh left work to attend an appointment. The only clue as to where she was headed was a note scrawled in her diary that read: “12:45 Mr Kipper – 37 Shorrolds Road”.
When Suzy hadn’t returned to the offices of Sturgis and Sons Real Estate by that evening, her manager notified the police. They tracked down Suzy’s company car, which had been abandoned one mile from her office. Its keys were missing and Suzy’s purse was stashed inside. Where was Suzy, and who was the mysterious Mr Kipper?
