I recommend this documentary as one of the best definitive Suzy Lamplugh films from the early 2000s.

It has a wealth of information on the case, the police mishandling and prejudice from day one, which is equally as sad and frustrating as Suzy's actual disappearance.

It is a shame that Jim Dicke didn't take charge of the investigation from the outset, and the case could have been solved a lot earlier. All the witness information was stored on cards (not all the police officers could use the computers at the time), so vital information was lost in the system, and a suspect was only identified much later.
