Sorry I don’t think this link is live but it’s from York post and clearly says Derbyshire Peak District but I hope you are not going to be more specific than that

Thanks @Popejohn3 I will amend this. Much appreciated.

I thought we had to prove statements on here. THAT is why I must ask so many questions. I haven't a clue whether the pub was being watched or not.

@Pinkizzy I am afraid that I am unable to reveal my source but can say that it is genuine.

Another year without Claudia – but her mum is still thinking of others

Another year without Claudia – but her mum is still thinking of others

There is no present and, in all probability, no future, but she’ll never give up hoping until closure finally comes.

Please think of her this Christmas.

Oh yes, I will be pleased to do that, Mrs. Joan L.!

On the morning of 19th March, police show Alley man and indicate that he is seen at 05:07
They also show breaking the car and indicate that this was at 05:42

What we know is that Sunrise was at 06:07 in York on this day. Weather conditions were mild for the time of year and visibility was good.

But if you look at the CCTV stills attached. Did the police get the times wrong intentionally or unintentionally?

I say this because the Breaking car images (Named as 05:42) were much darker than the Alley man images of 05:07???

If so this puts the breaking car BEFORE Alley man.

Was Claudia returned home from a night out (Could be far earlier than suggested) and was Alley Man the "Clean Up" squad.
Sent in to rearrange Claudias house to make it appear as though she had ran away?

Hi @MajorLang
Re the timings....
Take a look at this link from NYP. There are several photos taken from the Heworth Road camera looking down HR.
Old-style light coloured Ford Focus seen braking
If you look at the top of the photos left of centre, you can see the sun rising above the rooftops. It is easy to check the compass direction on google as the red tip indicates north so the direction of the sun on the photos can be confirmed as being due east; this would suggest that the time when the Ford Focus appeared will be nearer to 06.00 than 05.00.
There are also photos taken from the same camera in Lime Court as the one showing the alley man. When you compare them with the 05.07 images, they seem lighter as you would expect for half an hour later.

Hi guys, this is my first time posting on this forum.
This is off topic but I would like to ask and see if anyone has the answer to it.
Claudia’s car, what was the official problem with it?
How long had it been off the road for?
Thanks

Hi Welcome. It kept breaking down and had to have a new engine fitted, hence the time it took.

Was it ever repaired? After all it’s owner had disappeared ?!

Any ideas as to where it broke down and was it ever towed by one of the major breakdown people ?

I believe it was seized by the police.

What I can't fathom is Claudia's financial situation, the current rate for a university head chef is about 25k,yet I presume she had fair size mortgage, liked to go out several times a week on drinking sessions, go on holidays and could afford to have a new engine fitted in her car, now unless her dad was helping her out financially I think she could have been an accountant rather than a chef, because I don't think the numbers add up

 

[Andyboy]

I concede it is feasible that her father was helping out, he had a high paying job and seems a decent sort of individual, but maybe if claudia was generating a second income from elsewhere, then this may explain her presumed downfall

Hi still rereading your medium post on Claudia and I notice you refer to Lee Harwel as ‘current ‘ boyfriend but we know it was supposed to be over months before she went missing ...just saying ...

A supplier and user but did one or both lead to her downfall.

@Popejohn3 Cold case team confirmed to me she was still seeing Lee who was by then separated from his wife and living in East Parade a few minutes walk away. But it is also believed that she was also seeing someone else at the same time

I'm not sure of any personal drug use, but she did seem to burn the candle at both ends,if it is correct then just another expense in her already seemingly high spending lifestyle

Oh I see is he the old term boyfriend but not considered to be the ‘mystery ‘ one ?
