UK UK - Claudia Lawrence, 35, Chef, York University, 18 March 2009 #11

How many times a week? or like I said earlier, you can make a drink last all evening.

That's not the impression her friends have given. CL was a big drinker, ably assisted by her 'friends' and admirers at the NH.

Not every night though and certainly not in the days before her going missing.

Just for my own sanity, have reposted here:
Peter Lawrence: My daughter Claudia has been missing for 8 years. Singing helps me cope

"Claudia had a number of investments [that I couldn't touch]", he explains.
"An ISA comes to an end and there's nothing you can do to reinvest it so it sits there losing interest, whereas with the stock market, it could have been shooting up. I wanted to do it for her benefit if she comes back. It makes everything even worse, if it can be made even worse. We need this law as a matter of urgency."

Huh? This sentence is contradictory. If smoking is an appetite suppresant, how can you have a bigger appetite? I am a smoker and agree with PJ that it takes alot of my income (£10 every other day). If I wanted to save money, I would smoke roll ups, which would cut the cost by half.

@Nikynoo I thought I made myself clear but here goes second attempt.

It is a well known fact that if you smoke you eat less and probably sacrifice other vices to be able to afford smoking. So if you dont smoke you still spend as much.

I think the economic term is Expendable income...

I get it now. I disagree that its a well known fact though.

 

[oudzuid]

I sort of disagree. Claudia chose how and where to spend her spare cash. You can go to the pub and make a drink last all night if needed.

I would be interested to know how many holidays she took since purchasing the house. I seem to recall that she couldn't confirm any future holiday plans as she didn't have the money (as per the conversation with the guy in cyprus).

Correct @Nikynoo

Not every night though and certainly not in the days before her going missing.

And not if she had an early start

@Nikynoo Good posting. I wonder where she came about the money to invest. Had her parents provided this. Was she asked to put this in her name by family or other?

It is a good thing from my perspective that people couldn't get their hands on the investments and for me Claudia's Law is a double edged sword as it could encourage fake missing's or even a motive for murder.

 

[oudzuid]

Yes I for some reason believed it was prior march 2009, well possibly over the alarm raised at her property and will check why I believed it was prior. Either way surprised peter did not deal with this issue as more in charge of finances I presume from what I have seen x

Were they her finances or his @Vixey ???

 

[oudzuid]

I will send you a pm

That's a shame @keep-it-real as I'm sure all sleuths would benefit from this information

 

[oudzuid]

Drinking in the pub many times a week isn't frugal unless others are buying you drinks.

@Officer Dibble If you read the x barmaids blog by @moonsafari She described Claudia as someone who bought her own drinks and was not a scrounger.

 

[oudzuid]

I can't answer for PJ, but thats not my take on his post.

@Nikynoo I would like to hear from @Popejohn3 please

 

[keep-it-real]

Wonder why Claudia was nicknamed cat ? Random, just curious. Also perhaps Claudia was not avoiding the nags, just spending time with Closer friends. Eg drinking back at the spotted cow since jan x

Do you which people called her Cat @Vixey?

 

[oudzuid]

No they didn't - the mortgage was suspended - see https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/31198...-the-missing-chefs-broken-and-neglected-home/

@Nikynoo

I have 2 comments here

1. Reading the article which was written 11 years following her disappearance. It suggests that her mortgage was suspended after 2 years of her missing and not immediately??

2. I know that we are advised to rely upon and show links to MSM articles but I have been researching this case for well over a year now and I have to say that MSM is regularly wrong.

The problem here is that as MSM draw their source data from Reuters, if the source is incorrect then every MSM article will be unless there is a quality journalist who does some primary research rather than relying upon secondary research.

It is a shame that we cannot provide details from online information (I have had conversations with more than one of Claudia's friends) Her friends are disappointed with mush of the inaccuracy of MSM publications.

I would say that its almost like writing a thesis, the more points of reference we can have and opportunity to spend time checking the data reliability, the better informed we will be.

So in summary, to provide a link to an MSM article doesn't mean that one Sleuth is correct and the other incorrect... It just means that one trusts the Daily Mail or the Sun-God Forbid....

Who is the guy who controls most of the media ?????? He has the same name as a famous bear

 

[oudzuid]

No

What did you mean then

If she could sustain her lifestyle on her chef income then she was wasted as a chef, should have been chancellor of the exchequer or governor of the bank of England

or a dealer?

 

[oudzuid]

Do you which people called her Cat @Vixey?

@keep-it-real Alley Cat perhaps???

 

[Vixey]

Do you which people called her Cat @Vixey?

Yes a good few old friends x will post you the names on here when home x

 

[Yozzer]

Not every night though and certainly not in the days before her going missing.

But not one to make a drink last all evening which was the original point being made.

 

[Nikynoo]

@Popejohn3 Are you suggesting from what you describe in the context of your post that "The Guilty One" was a Police Officer?

No PJ is not suggesting this at all. What PJ is saying is that the lack of proper or suitable resource hampered the case at the start .

 

[Blonderabbit]

@bolnderabbit You are correct, we must not post addresses in these circumstances. I looked at his route from his home and on this day he would have reached the roundabout at the intersection of Heworth / Stockton and taken the first exit left into Heworth.

However he decided to drive straight on at the roundabout.

I used Google to track the two journey scenarios and the route he took involved him in a LONGER journey.

I always asked myself this:

"Even if you decide not to call for Claudia, would you not just take the same route and not stop"

Or was it that he was worried he would be seen, not by Claudia but by someone that was described as her "New Boyfriend" and were they of a "certain community" he would not wish to meddle with?
