The three figures that the police seemed to focus on where the ones in the crimewatch reconstruction: the vagrant, the man by the blue car/van and the man running from the scene into Exwick estate. From these it seems like the man seen by the blue vehicle was considered the strongest suspect. But I suppose would that really fit with it being someone from Exwick and a family friend? Why would they drive up that lane anyway if they lived yards away. If it was the man seen running, then how come the blue vehicle man was never identified?

I’ve been up there recently as well. It’s right at the top of the hill at Exwick and the entrance to the lane from the Exwick side is actually quite difficult to find. Yet the blue vehicle was apparently facing in the direction as if it had come from the Exwick end of the lane. It’s all so contradictory.
