With the trail ending when Madame Langer explains that Bosker had left her hotel, the Police continue to search for him at Greyhound Stadiums . . . This one is Wimbledon Stadium on Plough Lane SW17 in a scene borrowed from 'Late Night Final'.
With the stadium long gone, Peter Bywaters captured the site where a complex of new flats and AFC Wimbledon's football ground now stand.
