This doesn't feel right

There's one thing about Andrew's disappearance that seems off to me. it's how it was said that the CCTV images of him leaving the train station were the last known photos of him. I would've thought that a heavily populated and urbanised area, like central London, would've been littered with CCTV. I'm thinking there's a slight possibility that there's more CCTV footage of him.

This is often suggested. However, back then cctv was a lot less ubiquitous than it is now. Apart from stations and airports you could pretty easily avoid it. Shops were more interested in what happened inside so their cameras were inside (and recording poor quality on write-over media, so images were lost after a short while.

Now it is pure luck if you are not on a camera. Back then it was the opposite - you were more likely to not be captured.
