Trudy Appleby, a close friend of the late Jamison Fisher, has spoken out for the first time since the arrest of a suspect linked to his death. In an emotional statement, Appleby revealed she had begged Fisher not to go out on the night he disappeared.
"I told him it wasn't safe," Appleby said, her voice trembling. "But he just laughed it off. Now I'll never see him again."
The Night That Changed Everything
Fisher was last seen leaving a local pub in Westminster on the evening of October 12th. His disappearance sparked a massive search operation involving police and volunteers.
Appleby described the agonising wait for news: "Every phone call, every knock at the door - my heart stopped. Then they found him..." Her words trailed off as she fought back tears.
Breakthrough in the Case
Police confirmed they've made an arrest in connection with Fisher's death. While details remain scarce, sources suggest the suspect was known to the victim.
"We're treating this as a targeted attack," a police spokesperson stated. "Forensic evidence led us to the individual now in custody."
A Community in Mourning
Fisher's death has sent shockwaves through Westminster, where he was well-known in local music circles. A growing memorial near the pub where he was last seen includes flowers, candles and handwritten notes.
Appleby concluded her statement with a plea: "If anyone has information - anything at all - please come forward. Jamison deserves justice."
The investigation continues as police await forensic results and conduct further interviews.
