This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ms Goode's case comes as research commissioned by Panorama suggests police forces are facing an increased workload.
The independent criminal justice think tank Crest Advisory says England and Wales need an extra 18,000 officers just to keep up with population growth since 2010.
She gathered some footage herself and identified a former friend acting suspiciously outside her house - but Lancashire Police still did not question him or come back for the rest of the CCTV.
Lancashire Police says it deployed crime scene investigators, completed house-to-house enquiries and obtained CCTV footage before Sarah's case was closed.
The police watchdog has told Panorama that officers are failing to get the basics right and that public confidence is at the lowest level he could remember.
With severity of crime and rising population figures factored in together, Crest has calculated that 114,000 additional officers are needed to meet demand in England and Wales.
