Hopefully it's ok to post it here as it seems it's all over the news.

Confirms that the carnal knowledge victim is the person who moved in days after Lyn's disappearance.Thanks South!
Was just about to do that. Ok here is the title
Lyn Dawson vanished in 1982. A 'highly credible' couple claim to have seen her 2 years later.
Dated June 26
Some interesting info in the article.
The second link is the one I first saw,
This link works, Toots:Thanks South!

Listening again. The couple were neighbours at the time of the Dawsons and the husband (of the couple, not Chris) was in hospital for a medical procedure and Lyn walked into the room. I don't think Chris was there.
Edit: originally I thought it said that the couple were neighbours of somebody's daughter, that's why I thought they didn't know them well. But didn't know she was missing? Not a close relationship, anyway. Perhaps they knew Paul and Marilyn.

"From the statement here it says 'I knew it was Lynette Dawson I had seen because of her height, physique, hair colour and style of glasses'.
right.
as any good stylish woman of lyns class would know.....
no woman who wears glasses full time has the same style 2 years in a row!!!!!!
even back then.
my mum was one of them......and she wasn't overly stylish or wealthy.
It's surprising that he doesn't seem to have said that he recognized Lyn because he knew her face.If he recognised someone by their style of glasses, it means to me that he had no idea what her eyes looked like.
He probably didn't looked at Lyn much at all while being neighbours. Perhaps usually saw her from a distance, and then waved and said hello and bye. I've had a few of such neighbours. I am probably just a caricature of a woman with certain glasses, hair, clothes, size... As far as they are concerned.
Such neighbours might not notice me missing for 2 years, that much is true.
Not everyone thinks like that about glasses.
Sometimes people, fashion conscious or not , find a timeless style and want to stick with it long term.
women do change their glasses at free will.There certainly weren't the choice of glasses that there are now. Quite a few women would have worn the same style. Picture 22 of 24 shows Lyn's glasses look very common.

Underlined BMwomen do change their glasses at free will.
someone who hasn't seen a person for at least 2 years couldn't use 'her glasses style' as proof of identity.
lynette may or may not have replaced them by then.
its a ridiculous statement to imply you identified a person by glasses.
as you said in your post drt….that particular big round style we see her in was extremely common at the time.
most women wore them.
imo
I wonder if Dawson kept Lyn on as tight of a leash as he seemed to keep Joanne on.
If so, I doubt that any neighbours would have known Lyn very well at all.
