Linda cleaned out her car the weekend before she disappeared. This was the first time she had done this. DNA from an unknown male was subsequently found in the car. This man was never identified.
The day before Linda disappeared she visited Glyn’s bank claiming to want to pay money in and obtained information about Glyn’s account by deception.
Linda had financial problems and was behind with mortgage payments, maintenance payments from Glyn had stopped because he had been made redundant.
Linda was having problems at work, and was reported to be confrontational. She had to be spoken to by a senior member of staff, and was moved from one class because of her conduct with the students, and a clash with the tutor.
A long standing friend of Linda’s claims she saw her in a silver fiesta driving through Highworth the day after she disappeared. She said Linda looked cross to see her. The Police believe she was mistaken and have tried to discredit her. Extensive police enquires at the DVLA involving 70 small silver hatchbacks, and checks every Wednesday for 3 months for a car and driver matching the description have failed to trace them. This leaves only one conclusion, and that is that the witness was correct, and she did see Linda on the 20 March 02. The day after she disappeared.

Her children reported that Linda said goodbye in a different way that morning, saying just "goodbye" rather than "see you at 5.00" like she normally did.
