The morning started off like any other for Stephanie Slater. The 25-year-old real estate agent had a boyfriend, loved her job and had a thriving social life. Friends described her as ‘the life and soul of the party’.
She was also close to her parents, Warren and Betty, who she still lived with.
After leaving home that day in January 1992, Stephanie had a diary full of scheduled property viewings.
One of her appointments was with a man named Bob Southall, who she met at a home he was looking to buy.
