In the CCTV footage which the cops showed to Michael, the raindrops are shooting stars, streaking white across the lenses of the cameras, burning up in the lights from the bridge. The yellow bulbs along the parapet, and the blue globes on the cables, grow dimmer with distance, then fade from view a hundred yards from the shore, swallowed by the fog and rain that are rolling into Burrard Inlet.

Here, two large stone lions guard the entrance to the bridge, where the approach road curves north through the fir trees and cedars.

At 3.13 a.m., Lydia Alice Field walked on to the Lions Gate Bridge and vanished in the rain and fog. Michael, watching the footage with the two constables, was able to confirm her identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe did not reappear to any of the other cameras which cover both ends of the bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 5.19 a.m., a police dispatcher received a call from a jogger who had found an unlocked bicycle propped against the parapet, three hundred metres out from Stanley Park.
