CCTV footage believed to be of another victim, Anneli Alderton, on a train the night she disappeared on 3 December 2006 has also been shown to the jury. A vehicle identification specialist, Andrew Wooler, told the court he had studied CCTV images of a car driving around the red light district of Ipswich on three separate dates.
The film was of a woman matching Miss Alderton's description travelling on a train from Harwich, Essex, to Manningtree, Essex. They coincided with the disappearances of three of the women.

Separate footage showed her at an underpass at Manningtree station, where police believe she was catching a train to Ipswich. Mr Wooler said he had filmed reconstructions and identified the car as a Mark Three Ford Mondeo - the same model as that driven by Mr Wright.
In one of the reconstructions, in which the defendant's own car was used, he said the match was exact.
He said it was "highly likely" that the car in the film was his Mondeo.
Both vehicles had something hanging from the rear view mirror, and a sticker - probably a tax disc - in an unusual spot on the windscreen.
