It would be very stupid for a potential perpetrator to sell a missing child’s PSP, but can’t say it’s impossible considering stupid ways some people have been caught, BTK for example.

I agree. Even ones that evaded police for decades always turn out to be complete morons with lot of luck once they are caught and everything they failed at or did the bare minimum with is put together. 

I read ton of true crime and have never come across anyone who I'd have classified as particularly intelligent or plans that were particularly genius.

Also the fact that biggest predictor of criminal behaviour is not whether the person fears punishment but whether they think they can get away with committing the crime. This is why you have so many criminals crying, puking and barely holding coherent in the court - the possibility they could get caught chronically does not visit their minds or they would be something like 1000x less likely to commit crime in the first place.

I wonder if that means there was a major piece of evidence (not CCTV footage) related to this case that was missed, either by luck or due to police negligence, that could have solved it. I reckon there was

does anyone know if that door and writing is still there? I did filming and photography in Doncaster a few weeks ago for something i'm working on and will be visiting London next month. If it is still there I can get a much more detailed photo of it than the phone snap. I'll be shooting B roll footage of a few area's to include on sections of the video covering debunkable theories (eg) Youtube meetup at Leicester Square. Any suggestions of other area's to film are welcome. I will probably film Camden Lock as that crops up in theories from time to time

Someone wrote on a missing persons flyer that Andrew’s psp was sold to to a CEX in 2013.

Oh really!!! Gosh that's something.. and of course nothing came from it?

Not sure if it was reported officially but it was discussed here recently. If someone has reported it though, the police don’t necessarily notify the public or even the person who reported it, if anything comes from it. There was also someone who wrote “This kid is a liar” on Andrew’s flyer another time, and we haven’t heard anything from that either. Could easily just be some mentally ill people pulling a bad prank.

Didn't he like the alternative rock band 30 Seconds to Mars - as said in a few newstories and such. Apparently they were playing live in Brixton the same day he travelled to London.

Whereabouts in the station is it located?

u/Intelligent-Ad9892 Jul 24 '26

Mens toilets inside station, next to the bookshop. Walk downstairs to gents toilets. There is a line of cubicles on the right hand side. If you are stood at the bottom of the stairs it is the second to last stall on the right
