Wright said that he brought Nicol to Portman Road but that he changed his mind about using her services. The police said that the victim's phone went dead shortly before midnight on October 30, which was around the same time that a security camera captured him picking her up in his Ford Mondeo (bottom-right). Portman Road is a football stadium. It is the home ground of Ipswich Town F.C. At the time, the streets around the stadium were part of Ipswich's red-light district.
