Vera Page was born in Hammersmith, London, to parents Charles and Isabel Page in 1921. She was described as popular, but shy and well-behaved. On December 14, 1931, Vera left her house and walked down the street to her aunt’s to pick up a couple of swimming certificates she’d left there the day before. When Vera didn’t return, her father visited the aunt, who told him Vera had come by and picked up the certificates and left for home to have dinner. He then visited the houses of all her friends and relatives hoping that his daughter was with someone they knew, and then went to Notting Hill Police to report her missing at around 10:25 pm. Charles and Isabel had spent the rest of the night searching for Vera. The next day, police were circulating physical descriptions of her around and local media had been alerted to her disappearance.
