02:80The plan was for Charlie to pick her up, then drive to her flat so she could get the new dress she bought for the dance. All three of them were going to that night.
13:80She probably would have finished at half past five, the time she caught up, probably quarter to six for the time she came out.
18:80She finishes work, crosses the road and comes and stands over by the church.
23:40For about the first half an hour, one of her new colleagues from work is with her, and she's waiting for longer than she expected because she's getting a lift with her boyfriend's best friend, but he's running a bit late.
