Sarah was wearing a green waterproof jacket, navy blue trousers with a white diamond pattern.

She is described as 5’4, blonde hair and of slim build.

FINAL MOVEMENTS

Sarah begins walking the 50-minute journey back to her home in nearby Brixton.

The marketing manager is believed to have walked across Clapham Common.

Her uncle Nick Everard describes her as a "bright young woman, very sensible" who had lived in London "for a long time so I imagine was very streetwise".

CALL WITH BOYFRIEND

Sarah is on the phone to her boyfriend for around 15 minutes just before 9.30pm.

Her friend Rose Woollard said her phone signal was picked up last near Clarence Avenue.

This is between her home and where she left her pal's home.

Her other uncle Doug Everard says: "She was in touch with her boyfriend on a call and that is the last contact."

LAST SIGHTING

Police reveal fresh CCTV images of Sarah on the journey.

It shows her at the junction of Poynders Road and Cavendish Road at around 9.30pm, heading in the direction of Tulse Hill.

She has not been seen since.

MURDER COPS TAKE OVER

Sarah is reported missing on Thursday after friends and family are unable to get in touch with her.

Murder cops have now taken over the investigation, which is still being treated as a missing person's probe.

They say there is no information to suggest "anything untoward" happened to Sarah.

Nick Everard pleads with any potential abductors to "just to be human and to let her come home"

PHONE SWITCHED OFF

Sarah's family reveal her phone is off and she is not receiving messages.

Her uncle Nick Everard says this is "out of character" for Sarah.

He added: “She didn't have any troubles and was fit and healthy. She was happy, she had just started a new job and she had a boyfriend," he said.

“She is a lovely person. She would never just take time out without contacting her family. It would be completely out of character.

“Her mobile phone is not ringing and she’s not received any WhatsApp messages we’ve been sending her."
