The brother of murdered Suzy Lamplugh today issued a last-ditch plea to solve the 40-year riddle, begging: "Please help bring my sister's body home."Suzy, 25, vanished on July 28 1986 after going to meet a client known as "Mr Kipper" in Fulham, London. Her body was never found and in 1993 she was declared dead, presumed murder. In 2002 Scotland Yard detectives named killer John Cannan as the main suspect but the Crown Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence to charge him. He died in 2024 while serving a life sentence for murder.Today, just days before the 40th anniversary of Suzy's disappearance, her brother Richard, 66, said the family had given up hope of securing justice. But he said he would still love to recover her body so the family could lay her to rest.‌He told the Mirror: "I wish she would walk through the door now and say, 'Hello'. I might not even recognise her. But that's not going to happen. So if someone could help us find her body that would help bring some closure and we'd be able to lay her to rest."He added: "As far as we concerned our number one priority would be to find Suzy's body, her skeleton. We want to bury her remains or scatter her ashes where we want to and not where her killer did. If anyone has any information then please let the police know and let them deal with it."I'm not going to go out hunting for the body because I just don't know where to look and we've had lots of people suggesting ideas and thoughts about what happened but it's come to nothing."‌Cold-case homicide unit detectives have been carrying out a review of Operation Phoebus, the original investigation into Suzy. She vanished in the middle of a working Monday after apparently going to show a client around a house a few minutes' walk from her office in Fulham, south west London.A note scribbled in her appointments diary read: "12.45 Mr Kipper, 37 Shorrolds Rd o/s outside". It could not be established when the arrangement to meet the mystery man was made or whether he had come into the office or telephoned.Suzy left her office after 12.40pm and a woman fitting her description was seen at the Shorrolds Road house. Her company car, a white Ford Fiesta, was found by cops in Stevenage Road, a mile from the flat, at 10.01pm on the day she vanished.‌It was badly parked, the handbrake was off and her purse was in the door pocket. Her seat was not in its usual position but pushed further back, suggesting Suzy may have been attacked in the car or was not the last person to drive it.It was parked outside another flat being marketed by her estate agency and one theory was she had shown her killer around that property. The spot is close to the Thames, and police frogmen searched the river in the early days of the investigation.But it later transpired the initial probe into Suzy's disappearance had been adequate and a review of the case was launched in 1999. Cannan - who died in prison last year as he served a life sentence for abducting newlywed Shirley Banks in Bristol in 1987 and bludgeoning her to death with a rock - was identified as the prime suspect but never charged.‌He always denied Suzy's murder and before his death told the Mirror he was being fitted up by cops. Richard, who lives with his wife of 15 years, Christine, 66, and their two daughters, 24 and 18, spoke of his 40 years of hell.He said: "Cannan died and left no confession. That's extremely sad. I would love to see my sister back but I'm not going to. We never got answers from Cannan. These guys are evil, they play with the public and they want their names out there, they crave the notoriety. They are horrible people really and they're seeking infamy. But we need to move on and I feel we've done that as a family."In 2024 Cannan wrote to the Mirror insisting he did not kill Suzy and accusing police of prejudice against him. He claimed to have an alibi for the day she vanished and said police had pointed the finger at him to "divert attention from themselves".‌Cannan said that on July 28, 1986, the day Suzy disappeared, he had been in Birmingham “treating my mother to a spot of lunch”. In 2018 police searching for Suzy conducted a dig at the former home of Cannan's mother in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands. However the excavation drew a blank and the search for Suzy's body continues.Richard today said it was heartbreaking that their mother, Diana, died in 2011 eight years after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and their retired solicitor father, Paul, died in 2018, without ever knowing what happened to Suzy. It has left Richard and his two sisters,Tamsin, 64, and Lizzie, 56, as the last remaining custodians of Suzy's legacy.Richard said: "The saddest part is that my parents died not knowing what happened. We might do the same but it would be amazing for some answers."‌Today Richard paid tribute to the Suzy Lamplugh Trust set up in his sister's name to tackle stalking - but warned the threat facing women is as great today as it was in 1986 when his sister was murdered. He said social media is fuelling a hatred of women with big tech companies failing to tackle the problem.Richard said: "The trust is really something to celebrate. They've got a good team they do a great job. I've said before, I've always thought my sister was groomed, or certainly stalked, and she probably wasn't aware of it. Stalking is so important and it's becoming a real problem, particularly online as well as in person. It's really sad and it's devastating for victims."
