What happened on the night Sarah Everard went missing?
Just after 9pm, Sarah Everard left her friend's house and began her familiar walk home in the dark. She stuck to well-lit roads, she had her boyfriend on the phone, everything about this journey actually felt safe. But just as she was starting to get close to home, someone stopped her and took her. The more details that emerged, the more unsettling this case became because the person responsible for Sarah's murder was someone that most of us would have trusted and her killer knew it. Hello and welcome to Outlaw Podcast. I'm Eleanor Neale and in today's episode, we're in South London in 2021, where the boyfriend, friends and family of Sarah Everard are starting to realise that something isn't right.
It's a Thursday, a work day, and she should be in the office by now, but her co-workers are saying that she never turned up. They realise that texts are no longer delivering to her phone, calls aren't going through. And the concern only grows as the hours pass and soon her boyfriend has reported her missing to the police. Within days, a full-scale operation to find her is underway. Only Sarah Everard. wouldn't be found alive. For international listeners, I really can't overstate just how huge this case became here in the UK. It stayed in public conversation for such a long time afterwards, even still to this day, especially among women. Everyone was genuinely shaken. It was like the rug had been pulled from beneath all of us and a false sense of security that we had was exposed and broken.
Years later, it's a case that still gets brought up constantly whenever conversations around safety and trust come up. So I think it's about time we bring it into the conversation here on Outlaw. Now, before we get into the case, I do just wanna give my usual disclaimer that I mean absolutely no harm or disrespect to anyone that we talk about in this video. Our episodes are made with the utmost care to honour those who lost their lives and respect the profound grief their loved ones endure. By covering these cases, we aim to keep the victims' names and stories in conversation and highlight the vital work that so many of their loved ones do in the wake of their deaths. Given the nature of today's episode, we'll be covering some very sensitive topics, including sexual assault, rape, abduction, violence against women and murder.
This episode is created with the hope to raise awareness, to inspire change and further victim support. Viewer discretion is advised. Now, it's time to introduce you to Sarah Everard. kind intelligent beautiful girl who would devastatingly cross paths with evil in disguise but before the awful thing happened sarah had made an incredible life for herself filled with happiness love and ambition so let's begin with who she was before anything else sarah everard was born in surrey in the south of england on june 14 1987 to parents jeremy and susan They already had two kids, James and Katie, so Sarah was the baby of the family and they all adored her so much. It was a super close, warm, supportive family unit.
The Everards were very family oriented and would do anything for one another. While Sarah was still very young, her family picked up and moved to York in the north of England so that her dad could take a job opportunity at the university. So actually York probably felt more like home to Sarah than Surrey ever did. She really grew up there in York and she spent her formative years there. So York in part helped to mould Sarah into the wonderful young woman that she would someday be. Very early on in her life, one thing was very clear about her and that was that Sarah was a very clever girl. She was naturally gifted with intelligence. But don't get me wrong, she was also a studier, a hard worker. She didn't coast by on her natural abilities.
She worked hard to strengthen them. Doing well in school meant a lot to Sarah. I mean, she was a good egg. She was honest, she was dependable, she was reliable and thoughtful. The kind of person that you would want to be friends with, or the kind of student that you would want to teach.
