The identity of a young woman found at the foot of a tower block in north-west London 18 years ago could finally be solved, investigators say. She is believed to have fallen from the 21st floor of Wembley Point, a triangular office building now known as the WEM Tower London, into the River Brent on the morning of Friday, October 29, 2004.
Locate International, a UK charity dedicated to solving missing person cases, on Saturday released a new image it believes could help identify her. It is understood witnesses had seen the woman distressed in a lift in the building, and that she was later seen in a cafe in the top floor.
There, a distinctive 2ft x 1ft oil painting was found, depicting two figures and a number of faces, with an empty white gap in the middle, as well as a black carrier bag with the lettering “CPNY”. She also left behind a used packet of Marlboro cigarettes, a copy of The Guardian and a seven-day bus pass issued at 7.07am on Tuesday October 26 2004 on Seven Sisters Road.
