Good points, I’ve emailed a local historian asking if it’s been drained at any time and what the depth is next to the Clifton Road access.
I’ve had a response from the park Rangers, they say that Wyndley Pool has (AFATK) has never been drained.
I understand the thought process, however, it’s never been confirmed that SJL didn’t put the fake entry in her desk diary herself.
Google Dr Pam and you’ll very likely find her and maybe a few surprises.
| Police Dismiss Brentford Link in Suzy Lamplugh Case | |||
Canal where man had been seen disposing of bag had already been searched
Suzy Lamplugh
In August 2019 the Specialist Casework Team working on the case received a report from a witness, a lorry driver, who said he saw the prime suspect in the investigation, John Cannan, throwing a suitcase into the Grand Union Canal in Brentford three days after the estate agent vanished. Cannan was reportedly seen wheeling a trolley and then running away when it had been deposited in the water. This was treated as a new line of enquiry, but it has been found that the part of the canal mentioned by the witness and the surrounding canal stretches had been extensively searched by the Met’s Marine Support Unit and London Fire Brigade Search Unit in September 2014. This search was conducted following an unrelated homicide investigation and no items were recovered which were connected to the Suzy Lamplugh investigation and the line of enquiry was closed. On July 28 1986 Ms Lamplugh left her estate agency office in Fulham, at 12.40pm to meet a client called Mr Kipper. At 10pm, her white Ford Fiesta is discovered in Stevenage Road, Fulham. Suzy is presumed dead, and is believed to have been abducted and murdered. Her body has never been found. More than 34 years have passed, and the police investigation into Suzy’s disappearance is still active with detectives from the Met’s Specialist Casework Team, part of Central Specialist Crime, continuing to pursue leads. Cannan was jailed for 35 years in 1989 for the rape and murder of 29-year-old Shirley Banks in Bristol. 66-year-old Cannan is currently serving three life sentences at Full Sutton Prison but has never been charged in connection with Ms Lamplugh's murder. A man was arrested in December 2000 and questioned, and a file was later submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service. However, it was decided that there was insufficient evidence to support a prosecution. Detective Chief Inspector Rebecca Reeves, the senior investigating officer, said: “We would urge anyone who believes they might know something about what happened to Suzy all those years ago to come forward. Whether you saw something that you thought was unconnected at the time, or you felt under pressure to protect someone you knew – it is not too late. “The passage of time has not weakened our determination to seek justice and get the answers that the Lamplugh family continue to wait for. They have always been supportive of our efforts to make progress in the investigation, and they have shown remarkable strength despite the immense sadness they have endured over the years.” Click here if you have any information or images which may assist the investigation.

and both have been searched and she is not there.
I've done that and her surname begins with S? I'm not really finding any surprises though?
I would be interested to know what source you have for the staff, did any of them speak to you are do you have some published quote for this? I spoke to the person who was there when DV searched the POW and he told me that the police definitely searched the cellar a while after DV had spoken to the police. The question is did they tell DV they did this or did they not bother to tell him? some months after his book came out he was saying on a YouTube broadcast that he was still wanting them to look there but at the time of the YouTube show they already had. The question is did he know that or not? The other fact I find interesting is that JD wanted the canal searched DV wanted the POW cellar searched and both have been done but that does not seem to be enough to satisfy people or have I got that wrong? Both sites are extremely unlikely in my view. lets play devils advocate for a second IF she was deposited at either site and then moved how practical could that have been? neither the acting landlord KH or JC knew London well. I think if SL had been dumped at the canal her body would have surfaced (imo)
Peter Johnstone (in charge of the initial investigation) said that they checked the diary entry against Suzy's regular handwriting and it matched so they were convinced she put the entry in herself. For years people assumed that Mr Kipper was a genuine appointment but I think she put it in to make sure she had a legit reason to leave the office in case the big bosses came back from their lunch at Crocodile tears a few doors away. She was the only negotiator in the office and could not leave without a genuine reason and I think she planned to be somewhere and made it possible by placing the entry in the diary. I do not think Mr Kipper exists, no pun intended its a red herring and the single most unhelpful thing about the case and ironically the only thing people seem to remember about it when you mention the name SL.
That’s a helpful response, DV outlined the same in his book, I can’t recall AS clarifying this in his book.
