Nothing out of the ordinary there. She leaves his at 4am. Again, not unusual to leave afterwards, especially if you have work/uni the next day. Cheap student rathers walking home than paying for taxi. Again, I've done that on nights out and ended up walking for over 90 mins. Nothing overly strange about that. Girl doesn't arrive home. This, for me, is the first unusual thing. The rest of the story, I've personally encountered a few times. Maybe I'm wrong but there doesn't appear to be anything suspicious about her behaviour during most of this story.

Yep, I've left my coat in a bar/club loads of times after being on the lash. It was 1am, she was probably after a good few drinks. Nothing unusual about leaving someone of the opposite sex's place at 4am either, when you're starting to feel not so great and want your own leaba.

If you read between the lines, the police say she's too safety conscious to get into a taxi, yet on the other hand they say she got into a complete strangers car to go to his home. The Police say the guy isn't a suspect yet the pictures show his gaff is cordoned off by the police. Go figure

Especially for a student. If this was a 70 year old woman, it's definitely strange but she's a student. I've followed similar steps to this girl plenty of times during my student life. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary here, until the point where she doesn't arrive home

I've had plenty of nights out where I've gotten the ride, decided afterwards that I'd rather wake up in my own bed and decided to do the 4am walk of shame. Not saying this is what's happened here but it doesn't appear like 'erratic behaviour' from a student.
