Fairfax Media reports that there are now additional questions about an allegedly wiped CCTV video system which would have captured Ms Lapthorne's last known whereabouts.

That video system was found to be suffering from constant power outages, however was in fine working order on the night of Ms Lapthorne's disappearance.

A worker at Club Fuego - where Ms Lapthorne was last seen alive - says the CCTV system was in working order on the night, despite claims by police that no data was recorded.
