The river isn't too far away, but it is the River Foss as it runs through Layerthorpe, and its really not that deep at all in that area, so putting a body in there would just be daft. There is Tang Hall beck nearby, but again it isn't deep and I am sure I read an article that said police were searching there.

There are allotments not too far away. I'm not sure if remember reading if they were searched or if any of the POI had any sort of connection to them?

What about the nidd?

I’m guessing the “killer” wasn’t a serial killer or psychopath so wouldn’t be interested in trophies,

therefore is it safe to surmise the body and belongings would have been disposed of at the same time and in the same place -

was the phone turned off to save any possibility of the body been located -

if so the body wasn’t disposed of immediately after death, which gives credence to the supposition that it may have been disposed of later that day, possibly on someone’s way home?

You could possibly surmise that if the body was buried for example, the bag and phone might have been buried too. I'm sure I saw on a documentary that new technology meant that your phone could be traced even if the phone was switched off. Or have I just been watching too much CSI and that idea is a bit of artistic license for a TV show?

I think the Nidd splits off from the Ouse somewhere near Harrogate or Knaresborough.

It feeds to the Ouse ? I looked I’m sure it’s North West of York poppleton area?

I guess the cops should ring her number and see what happens.

Claudias bike was in the kitchen, I presume it would be easier through the back door rather then the front.

If Claudia was walking to work as her Mum suggests she would. Then would Claudia be more likely to use the back door?

 

[Pinkizzy]

During the pandemic, I expected someone to snap and reveal what happened to Claudia...

Ah yes, you're right, and it isn't a long drive from the Heworth area to across there - it is less build up in that area too

Perhaps they haven’t been furloughed and cooped up in isolation - perhaps they are still working.....places of learning are closed whereas the construction industry remains open

 

[cheddarcat]

I have wondered if they ever tried to ring it after she went missing

Sure the battery would be dead by now.........

Her slippers suggest not

 

[3ds&p]

Question is who owned or had use of a silver focus on the 19th ....

 

[Pinkizzy]

Sure the battery would be dead by now.........

The phone was switched off, however it may be tracked somehow or not at all

 

[3ds&p]

Her slippers suggest not

may I ask why it matters what door she used? CCTV didn’t cover either door..... if the silver focus is key (picking her up on the morning of the 19th) then why the interest in the doors - her slippers suggest she used the front door, if you believe she set off for work unharmed on the 19th

Its just my opinion but I think the battery was removed to take the sim card out and that had the same effect as turning it off.
The Samsung D900 also had a micro sd card slot, If Claudia used an sd card that could have also been removed at the same time..

This is a link to the unboxing and features of a Samsung D900.. start at 7.32

Can one moor a boat there ?

not sure that is possible now, never mind 12 years ago.

Didn't her friend call her phone to listen to the answerphone message left by Claudia?
