...Loose ends? The celebrated white Fiat Uno that scraped the Mercedes before it crashed has still not been found. Stevens attacked head-on the idea that James Andanson, a photojournalist who owned such a car and later was found to have committed suicide, was a secret agent and was involved in the Diana crash.
