this claudia lawrence

Was there a frizzy haired landlord in the vicinity? If so, string him up!

for a nice looking girl seem to have some strange relationships.

or woman

be have to cover up in todays culture , as far more likely to be found out.

Where could she be?

In the six years since Claudia vanished, there have been countless theories about what happened to her...



Theory One: Murdered By A Secret Lover?


Police have described Claudia's private life as ‘mysterious and complex'. They believe she had a series of affairs with married men. A close friend who wouldn't be identified has claimed Claudia had up to 40 secret lovers and was a heavy drinker who was ‘reckless' and ‘easily led'. Was she murdered by one of these men, possibly worried their affair would be exposed?

Last month, police raised the possibility she was killed in her home on the night of 18 March by a lover who then left via a rear alleyway. Officers and sniffer dogs were seen conducting a search of the alley. The fact she didn't send any texts after 8.23pm lends weight to this theory - she normally sent up to 1,000 messages a month.

DS Dai Malyn of North Yorkshire Police said: ‘One hypothesis is something could have happened overnight with another person in the house and then the alleyway was an obvious way out. We're still finding out more about Claudia's lifestyle. I know people have lied to us. People may lie because they're in a relationship. One motive for not coming forward already is because they might have been in a relationship with Claudia and don't want people to find out.'







Theory Two: Abducted By A Predator?

Was Claudia abducted during her two-mile walk to work in the dark on the morning of 19 March? Was that where her killer kidnapped and later murdered her?

While police believe a close male friend was responsible for her death, independent crime experts have suggested she may have been the victim of a stranger - a sexual predator who snatched her on that journey or offered her a lift before abducting her. When her home was searched, her bed was made and it appeared she'd eaten breakfast and brushed her teeth, which supports the theory she left for work on the morning of 19 March but never made it.

At 5.42am that day, an old-style silver Ford Focus hatchback car was seen braking outside Claudia's home. Despite police appeals for the driver to come forward, they've never been traced. Could this mystery driver hold the key to what happened to her?





Theory Three: Living Abroad?

After Claudia disappeared, it emerged she had close links with Cyprus. She'd holidayed there five times, most recently in October 2008, and had been planning to return the month after she vanished. The final text she's known to have received came from a bar worker on the island.

Six months after she vanished, officers flew out to Cyprus because they believed she might have been living there secretly. To date, there have been no sightings of Claudia. Her passport was found at her home, so it's unlikely this is the answer to her disappearance.




The arrests


Police have made several arrests, but haven't charged anyone. In May 2014, mental health worker Michael Snelling, 59, was arrested on suspicion of murder. He worked at the same university as Claudia, drank in the same pub and lived near her. He was released without charge.

In July 2014, a 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice after a search of The Acomb pub in York, where Claudia had been seen drinking in the weeks before her disappearance. He was later released on bail. pub landlord

Last year, a cigarette butt with male DNA was found in the ashtray of Claudia's car. Tests revealed it was smoked by a left-hander, but the DNA couldn't be matched on the National Crime Database.

I have to chuckle at theory 3. It's amazing that our under manned yet diligent and dedicated police force can always find time to follow up fruitless leads in sunnier climes.
eg Lord Lucan, Madeline McCann, whilst violent incidents in Salford and Hackney don't seem to justify the same effort.

And hello Rob.

this could be a case in which a few men were involved with a single lady after a drink and sex game which went wrong thats why the police are taking so long

Up to 40 married men

Deary me. Women these days..

Man in his 50s arrested. Suspicion of murder.

happy birthday nestor

note to self: keep up

Is Richard III the man under arrest?  I know Plod have been interested in questioning him about the missing girl in Portugal as well.

Never heard any suggestion that she was on the game Howdi. Just think she enjoyed it, they all do, really.
Speaking as a particularly handsome, local male in the right age range, I'm a little surprised that neither Claudia nor Jimmy Savile considered me worthy of their attentions. I must change my aftershave.

Suspicious fred, who is missing from chit chat ?

I'm surprised there aren't more 'perfect crimes' where bodies are successfully hidden and never discovered etc.

Not been previously arrested.

Facts - if she was an escort, she would not have been working in a kitchen!!!

Just passed by her house .
All quiet on the western front .

Or is quick to blame someone else.
