He said that he had spoken to her for the last time on a mobile phone belonging to one of the men on 15 April. He was subsequently presented in court with two men who the prosecution alleged he had based the descriptions of the kidnappers on: Nick Cook, Stewart’s next-door neighbour, and Joe Cippullo, whom he knew from his former home in Bassingbourn. Stewart admitted to knowing both men, but denied that they matched the descriptions of the kidnappers which he had given to the police, saying “they don’t compare at all”.

In February 2011, her husband John Sinfield drowned while swimming when the couple were on holiday in Barbados. They had been together for 22 years, and married for the last 15. Her first book for adults, When Bad Things Happen in Good Bikinis (2015), was based on her Planet Grief blog which sets out her “journey through grief” after he died. It was described in The Guardian as “a painful and companionable account of coming to terms with life without her husband.” The book also noted her subsequent relationship, beginning in October 2011, with widower Ian Stewart, a father of two adult sons. She appeared on television to talk about the grieving process, and in October 2015, she discussed her experiences and the book on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour.

At the trial in January 2017, the prosecution alleged Stewart had secretly drugged Bailey with zopiclone sleeping pills for several months before suffocating her. It was subsequently alleged that she may still have been alive when dumped in the cesspit. During the trial, the prosecution claimed that Stewart had inadvertently connected Bailey’s mobile phone to the WiFi router in the couple’s holiday home in Kent when he visited it the day after reporting her missing, an event which prosecutor Stuart Trimmer called ‘very significant’. The jury was later told by Bailey’s brother that during his only visit to her home in Royston she had joked about the cesspit in the garage being a “good place to hide a body”, and that the remark had been made in “full earshot” of Stewart. The members of the jury subsequently visited the site where her body had been discovered. They also heard that it was alleged by the prosecution that Stewart had twice attempted to use power of attorney to sell a flat owned by Bailey; these attempts included one on the afternoon of the day on which she went missing, when he told the solicitor dealing with the sale that Bailey was too unwell to attend in person. The jury heard that on the day she vanished Stewart increased a standing order to transfer money from Bailey’s bank account to their joint account from £400 to £4,000 per month. The jury learned Stewart was the main beneficiary of Bailey’s £3.4 million estate, and would also benefit from a large life insurance policy.
