I wonder if its possible that claudia was working for both the nags connected drugs line and one in Cyprus and this was one thing that the home drugs line saw as a conflict of. interest....claudia, in her naivety, probably wouldn't have acknowledged this and would breezily have continued...just an idea
She dug herself a hole really.. She knew all these people and she knew what they were doing.
She had known similar types previous to moving to Heworth.
She had a friendship group at the NH some of who were discribed as rogues
She knew 2 guys who lived in Cyrus and travelled to th UK regularly one had worked previously at the local pub and the other knew her from holidaying there. One of which was in the UK at the time of her disappearance.
She knew people in Manchester and spent time there with them and vice versa..
She had and ex policeman boyfriend .. several of her friends confirmed this.
Its all very well when you can compartmentalise your life keeping these people at a relatively safe distance apart relationship/conversation wise. But by the very nature of the people and the activities of these types when deals or activities collide and loyalities and codes are questioned the consequences are considerable and they ultimately end in violence and sometimes death.
Its only my opinion but I think when the activities and loyalities within these groups activites came into question the group looked at who had connections with everyone in that group (the truth always outs) and CL was being watched/followed because of this.
I think that on the evening of the 18th on Heworth Road these groups and their activities came together. A decision and plan had already been made regarding CL by then. I think she was extracted from the house that night, and people were in and out of her front door that evening.
No ones mentioned a fight in the street on Heworth road that night but in my opinion there was..
I also believe there was a scuffle/struggle earlier that evening (not involving CL)
in the turning into the Limes ..things were already begining to kick off .
I think this was planned and well organised
No wonder these groups are so feared locally
Note:- these are my opinions . DYO.
Everyone is innocent until proved guilty
