John Cannan, Prime Suspect in Suzy Lamplugh Case, Dies in Prison

Cannan, serving life sentences for multiple crimes, was identified as a suspect in Lamplugh's 1986 disappearance but was never charged.

John Cannan was serving a life sentence for the murder of Shirley Banks and other serious offenses when he died at HMP Full Sutton.
Cannan was named in 2002 as the prime suspect in the disappearance of estate agent Suzy Lamplugh, who vanished in 1986 after meeting a mysterious client.
Despite being a suspect, Cannan was never charged in the Lamplugh case, and her body was never found.
Cannan's criminal history included multiple violent and sexual offenses, dating back to his teenage years.
He was deemed too dangerous for release by the parole board last year, having not participated in rehabilitation programs while in custody.
