Who was India Chipchase?

Unknown Speaker 0:19
India Eve Chipchase was born December 24th, 1995 in Northampton, England to parents Suzanne Pointer and Jeremy Chipchase, and she had three younger siblings, Harry, Pia, and Lulu. India was absolutely beautiful, both on the inside and out. She was described by family as having a kind, loving heart. India actually loved having her birthday on Christmas Eve because she just loved Christmas and everything about that time of year. It was a special time of year for everyone and the family loved celebrating both her birthday and Christmas together. She attended school at Pittsburgh School, an independent small private school in Northamptonshire before she went on to Northampton College where she earned a diploma in health and social care. Her professors and peers alike described her as being very hardworking, popular, sweet, and so caring. For quite some time though, she didn't really know what she wanted to do as a career
Unknown Speaker 1:12
But shortly before her death, she had actually decided that she wanted to be a paramedic. And her parents were so proud of this decision. They knew that she would go on to make an amazing paramedic. She cared so deeply for others and was just a very vibrant and energetic person. Her mother said that the house was always so full of noise and chaos when she was in the house. So, she had the perfect amount of energy and compassion to bring to that profession. But unfortunately, she never got the chance to be a paramedic and now that she's gone, the house is quiet. For the time being, India worked as a barmaid or a bartender, as we say in the U.S., at the Colling Tree Pub in East Hunsbury, and she had just recently started dating her boyfriend, Grant Hare, who she had only been with for three weeks. It's a little bit confusing because a lot of articles will say that she was actually dating a well-known New Zealand rugby player, Ivan Rehana. The two were high school sweethearts, but they had not been dating at the time of her death.
Unknown Speaker 2:09
I'm not sure why they broke up or when, but it seemed like he still had a lot of love for her. He posted tributes to her on social media and said that he was dedicating his career to her. He said that she was now his motivation for bettering himself and excelling in his sport. So even though the two hadn't been together at the time, things between them seemed pretty amicable and he still cared about her a lot. Now on January 29th, 2016, India had decided to go out with some friends for some drinks as she always did. At around 1130, she arrived at the NB's Cocktail Bar and Club on Bridge Street.

What happened on the night of India Chipchase's disappearance?

Unknown Speaker 2:47
As so many young people her age do, her and her friends were drinking, and they kept drinking, and they did get pretty intoxicated. That night, she had chugged six Jager bombs, so she was pretty lit that night. Well, somehow, by 1245 AM on January 30th, she got separated from her friends among the crowds in the bar, so she ended up going outside of the club trying to find her friends. Then at the same time, her friends were still inside the club trying to find her, but after a certain point of looking around for her, they just assumed that she went home without them. India tried getting back into the club, but at that point, she was so intoxicated that they wouldn't let her back in. So by 1258 AM, she was standing outside of the bar and was stumbling around pretty badly.
Unknown Speaker 3:33
So she went up to the doorman, Dave Burry, and said to him i just want to go home so he escorted her into a taxi and she got in but apparently the taxi driver had asked for the fare up front and that made her really upset so she decided to get out by 1 0 8 a.m she's back outside the bar stumbling around pretty badly again
