Assuming BS Man existed, he may have left the stage to Stride's killer, waiting in the wings to play the Good Samaritan. If she tried to give him the brush-off too, after successfully getting rid of BS Man, her killer could quickly have turned nasty. A similar scenario played out when Sally Anne Bowman was murdered in September 2005. Her killer, Mark Dixie, waited while his prospective victim [the second woman he targeted that night] was having an argument with her boyfriend. When the boyfriend finally drove off, leaving her alone outside her house, Dixie struck with exceptional violence. He then waited near the body for any sounds coming from the nearby houses, before mutilating her while the coast was clear. The boyfriend was immediately suspected, and might have been convicted if the DNA evidence hadn't cleared him. Dixie was eventually caught when he had to give a DNA sample after a pub brawl.
You tell me. We know she was there, so she must have had a reason. Did she see it as a place of refuge, perhaps, from some man she had met earlier, who had become a pest? Was she going to hide in the yard when BS Man spotted her and waded in?
The phrase, 'that's Leather Apron getting round you', is not just some uncanny coincidence.
