UK UK - Claudia Lawrence, 35, Chef, York University, 18 March 2009 #15

[Mrs Marple]

It’s clinical because I think it’s highly likely it happened elsewhere .

Well whether it was above the pub or at a friend's house, they did a pretty good job of covering it up.

 

[Blonderabbit]

Can you imagine

someone you know, a friend, a family member all
Of a sudden just disappearing - gone - and after years and years - no explanation or trace of what happened to them. I’d imagine if the person was a son or daughter, brother or sister, mum or dad, the pain to be terrible, but a friend whist

Well whether it was above the pub or at a friend's house, they did a pretty good job of covering it up.

above the pub - would she take her rucksack hair straighteners and work whites? A friends house ? A male very recognisable male friends house who was perhaps already dating another well known young lady ?

 

[Pinkizzy]

An interesting period which is never discussed and there really isn’t any evidence to form any picture of CLs activity then. It’s between her arriving home and when she calls her dad - some four and a half hours unaccounted for. Was she asleep? Did she usually nap in the afternoons?
Is there anything inside the house - in the bins or left out? Any trail - did she leave her clothes from the 18th in the wash bin ? Did she have a shower when she got in? Seems odd the sink is full but nothing else out of place.

She was colouring her hair

Or in a car on the way to work…

BBC Four - Catching History's Criminals: The Forensics Story, A Question of Identity

Taking us right to the cutting edge of forensics, Gabriel then experiments with a new technique in development - molecular face fitting, which uses only a person's DNA to create an image of their face.

Very interesting, I'll be watching this later thanks.

 

[Vixey]

When Susie called George on Friday morning, he was out of town. Where had he gone and why not just drive up to Claudias home and knock on yourself as Susie was off work still and knew most in the nags, Dave the drayman,Jim melsom etc. I wouldn’t wait personally if concerned! After police questioned George he then went straight to the bookies run by Paul Salkeld to place bets to show how unconcerned he was or... she was a lovely, lovely girl, wouldn’t say Boo to a goose. She loved animals and a vegetarian, nothing untoward about Claudia? A lot of irrelevant information in that interview and shoulder shrugging imo x

At the friend's house only visiting for the reason, to smooth the recent (love-)waves between the well known young lady and the twice as old friend? Quite unselfish and amicable?? Maybe, it's that.

... although her hairstylist visit allegedly wasn't long ago?

Perhaps Claudia coloured Jens hair, Perhaps Jens problem was her ex she claimed to flee with nothing had caught up with her or a issue from her past. Claudias address given as Jen was staying there and simply mistaken identity! I don’t feel this was the situation but a thought x

 

[Blonderabbit]

Heim·lich Manoeuvre

As Vixey states, GF’s Sky interview is questionable and curious as is Jk’s & SC’s many appearances - “We can talk about her in the past tense” can’t we - asking for authorisation. “Hope she was dead before she hit the ground” Yes why would you need the pub landlord to investigate? The more you logically think it through - the more likely whatever happened, happened in Heworth amongst trusted friends. I wonder where her body is? Still in Heworth? I hope the police have thoroughly searched the area. Imagine being involved in one way or another if you were mid 40’s to mid 60’s a sentence would see you likely die in prison. I’m sure the guilty parties think about it every day, will today be the day when the police come knocking?

Good point.

 

[Blonderabbit]

Good point.

Not really - why would anyone keep stum?

 

[keep-it-real]

I think there was a reason behind the hair colour change before her disappearance.

I also think the short affair she had with Lee Horwell was entered into for reasons other than romance.

these are my opinions only.

Wouldn't someone know, if JK just then got her hair coloured (by CL)? Are there pics before and after March 18th? Also: if I would colour the hair of my friend, I wouldn't keep a rest of it, in bags, tubes or bowls - unless we were in a hurry maybe.

May you give a hint re LH? Because of something in little boxes, which he had in his hands once around his car?

 

[bootoagoose]

What do we know about the police view of LH - was he ever considered a suspect? And McGinty for that matter?

I guess George knew she wanted to leave Heworth for Cyprus and wasn't that worried about her disappearance. The police reinterviewed witnesses a year after Suzy Lamplugh's disappearance to notice a change in behaviour. I wonder whether the NYP did this.

Suzy lamplugh’s investigation was a failure !
Just like Claudia’s … a failure so far at least but will the new team have the guts to admit ( if that’s what happened) that the old team left some ‘stones unturned ‘?
