Fears Estate Agent Who Disappeared Was Stalked After 'Sitting in Window'
Detectives say the case may move to an inactive phase in 12 months as they still lack forensic evidence after 40 years.
- On Tuesday, July 28, 2026, the 40th anniversary of Suzy Lamplugh's disappearance, Metropolitan Police officials confirmed the inquiry will move to an "inactive phase" in 12 months, though detectives will continue pursuing new leads.
- Lamplugh vanished at age 25 in 1986 after leaving her Fulham office for an appointment with a mysterious "Mr Kipper." Prime suspect John Cannan died in prison in November 2024 without facing charges due to insufficient evidence.
- Detective Chief Inspector Teresa Foster, head of the Metropolitan Police cold case squad, said she remains "haunted" by the unsolved case and her team's primary wish is to "bring Suzy home."
- Foster noted that advancements in artificial intelligence and forensics offer hope, citing recent successes in other cold cases where family members provided crucial information after decades as potential models for progress.
- The family released unpublished photos of Lamplugh to mark the anniversary. Her siblings expressed pride in the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, established by their parents to champion a world free from violence, aggression, and fear.
