This is local to me, I live less than 10 minutes from Sarah’s home address in the next town. Nothing new has been reported locally. The location that police are appealing for dashcam/cctv footage from is around 30 minutes away by car.

JMO but I suspect they have found enough blood in her home to warrant this being a murder investigation hence the initial urgency in the first appeal, but no body as yet. Sounds like they managed to track the blue transit van from her house up to the Chesterfield junction of the M1. Where is she?!

Sounds like another controlling, domestic abuse situation - he kept a key to her place even after they split up and it sounds like he was lying in waiting for her after she had been out.

Feel sorry for the neighbour who heard the altercation and texted Sarah to make sure she was okay - I imagine they feel a sense of guilt for not ringing the police.
