The coroner, James Healey-Pratt, criticised the original police investigation and highlighted a number of flaws, pointing to the fact that a police report made when she disappeared in 1980 concluded she must have committed suicide due to "pressure of exams" and "depression over a number of allergies" she suffered.

494:'s chief constable Jo Shiner responded to the result of the new inquest by stating that she fully accepted the "historic failures of Sussex Police in this case" and accepting that "the police investigations in 1980 and 1989 were inadequate, with some aspects wholly inadequate."
