The award-winning director was found dead in her London flat under chilling circumstances. Now, investigators are searching for her killer after a grim discovery inside her home raised alarming questions.<\/p>\n

\n

Award-winning film director Jennifer Abbott, known professionally as Sarah Steinberg, was found murdered in her Camden flat on the evening of June 13, 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 69-year-old was\u00a0discovered by her niece\u00a0and neighbors after they forced entry into her home, having not seen her in four days. Abbott was found wrapped in a blanket on her bed with tape across her mouth, according to neighbors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A post-mortem conducted two days later determined the cause of death as sharp force trauma. Her diamond-encrusted Rolex was also missing, prompting authorities to investigate robbery as a motive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Her niece allegedly mentioned that Abbott owned significant jewelry, prompting concerns that more items might have been stolen. With the local council-installed CCTV newly operational in the area, authorities were hopeful that it would provide leads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While no arrests had been made at the time of writing, the Metropolitan Police confirmed a\u00a0manhunt was underway, with Chief Superintendent Jason Stewart urging the public to come forward with any information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“We are working closely with our colleagues in the homicide team to establish exactly what happened and it’s incredibly important that we hear from anyone who may have knowledge about how this awful death occurred,” Stewart\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Someone must have seen or heard something and no piece of information is too small. It could be the crucial clue that leads us to identify Jennifer’s murderer,” he\u00a0added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Abbott had reportedly grown increasingly fearful in the weeks leading up to her death. Neighbors said alleged drug users often congregated outside the entrance of her building, and Abbott had broken down in tears after a run-in with them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A friend recalled how the director was too scared to sleep,\u00a0revealing, “I remember her saying to me that once she had tried coming out of the flat and couldn’t get out […].”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It was a dark day when that happened. It’s not about me, I feel for her and her son and her niece who had to see her like that. I can’t believe I’m not going to see her again,” they\u00a0continued.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One neighbor, Billie Currie, 63, said he had heard a dog barking for much of the night days before her body was discovered. Her pet Corgi, Prince, was later found alive but had been shut in the bathroom for three days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“She was always walking the dog and was really nice. She was quite reserved but very friendly,” Currie\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Another neighbor recounted how her son used a metal pole to break down Abbott’s door after hearing the director’s niece scream for help. “I heard the girls banging on the door and heard her shouting ‘Help, help,'” they\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“She was a vibrant, spritely, and intelligent person,” the neighbor\u00a0added. “We would talk about a lot of things \u2014 politics, current affairs, her likes and dislikes. We knew what each other liked.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a tragic turn, a neighbor revealed that Abbott had recently been diagnosed with stomach cancer and had undergone surgery. “I think she had an operation and it went wrong or something and they had taken out a part of her intestines,” they\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Before her death, Abbott made her mark in the film industry by directing the 2010 documentary “War of the Gods.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The\u00a0documentary, also referred to as “Gods of War,” explored how political leaders use religion to justify conflict. The film questioned whether such use of faith aligns with genuine spiritual values. It earned Abbott the\u00a0Best Documentary award\u00a0at the Swansea Bay Film Festival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“She got interviewed in LA about this movie. She was known as Jenny or Janet and was quite mysterious,” the neighbor\u00a0continued. “We will miss her running around. I mean she was indoors a lot but she made herself known. She’d talk to everyone.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to\u00a0reports, Abbott, originally from Scottsdale, Arizona, studied Arts and Science at Merton Technical College and attended Pelham High School in Wimbledon. She later moved to Los Angeles and was pictured with celebrities, including Dan Aykroyd, Paris Hilton, and\u00a0Kate Hudson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As the investigation continues, police have increased patrols in the neighborhood and are appealing for witnesses to come forward with any information that might help solve the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
