Finding Suzy- David Videcette-True Crime

“Forget everything you thought you knew about this cold case. People don't

just disappear”

For those of a certain age- when Suzy Lamplugh disappeared without trace

was something we remember but never found out what really happened.

David has spent many years (and thousands of his own money) to research

and find out what really happened on that day back in July 1986 with the

assistance of Caroline- a researcher. Suzy was officially declared dead in

1994 and both  her mother and father sadly died without ever knowing

what happened to her daughter and had both received an OBE for their

work. The case remains open to this day. The Suzy Lamplugh trust was

set up by her mother “ to ”highlight the risks people face and to offer

advice, action and support to minimise those risks.” How we all knew

about “ Mr Kipper” whom she was supposed to be showing around a

house and that he was the main suspect. Never were we given any idea

that other factors could have come into play to lead to her disappearance. 


Oh wow! I couldn't put this down. How David and Caroline were so

tenacious and detailed in their workings and travelling hundreds of miles

to try and track down and interview anyone who could have been linked

however tenuous. That Suzy has misplaced some items a couple of

days beforehand and that as inconsequential as it may seem could

lead to some groundbreaking information. A work of

determination and skill and of seeing what is really there. A truly

brilliant read that I can’t recommend highly enough
