Steve Harris

Available for over a year

The disappearance of Sarah Everard has once again raised the issue of women's safety. Bournemouth university student Lauren Oakley was being followed by a car while walking home from a party last year. The driver of the car made communication and drove slowly as he continued on the same route as her. Shannon McDavitt was also on her way home, and stepped in to help Lauren book a taxi back to her house. They told BBC Radio Solent's Dorset Breakfast presenter Steve Harris about the friendship that formed after their experience.
