Police tell secret lovers of missing chef Claudia: come forward or we will reveal your affair | Crime | The Guardian
Galloway says;
"My preferred hypothesis is that she probably did leave for work but I don't know whether she came to harm the night before.
Detectives piecing together Claudia's life say they are surprised at how relatively "compartmentalised" her lifestyle appears, with her typical week revolving around work, nights at home and two or three nights in her local pub. "There was no Facebook or gym membership or other social elements that other people have," he said.
Yet the most challenging facet of the inquiry was, according to Galloway, the absence of a crime scene or body which made the case "incredibly unusual".

Here’s another good link – it explains the sequence of events around entering Claudia’s property. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Suzy lives further away from Claudia’s home than SGF and he’s a close friend of Claudia’s – Suzy concerned asks foreman to check on Claudia – the text then follows – nothing suspicious, I would perhaps do the same.
Another text was sent to her phone after 9pm but no one knows if she saw it. If her family or friends had known she did not turn up for work at 6am on Thursday, they would have immediately raised the alarm. Claudia never missed a day at work. George Forman, a friend and the Nag's Head landlord, said she would only enjoy a night out in her local when she didn't have work the next day. "That's how conscientious she was," he says. Her employers, however, did not appear to report her absence.
That evening, Cooper waited in vain for her friend in the Nag's Head. She called Claudia's phone but it was switched off. She wasn't unduly concerned; Cooper assumed she had fallen asleep and her phone battery had gone flat. She left her friend to what she thought was an early night.
On the Friday, when there was still no answer from Claudia's phone, Cooper began to worry. She phoned Forman in the pub; he popped round to Claudia's house and called through the letterbox but there was no answer. Cooper then phoned Claudia's father because he had keys. He came over and, with Forman, entered her house. Everything was as if she had left it to go to work. "The slippers were there, neatly tucked away," said Forman. "The sofa was empty. Her bike was in the kitchen because it was a nice day, and she was walking into work. There was no sign of any disturbance or any sign that she hadn't had a normal night the night before."
Another interesting point is – they are known as the “Nags 4” however if you look at this article below it explains A.C. was arrested and then S.R., P.R, and D.R so really, it’s the nags 1 & 3. When you refer to them as the nags 4 – you start to automatically wonder how they have acted together. The reality is they probably didn’t. in fact when you look at alleyway man footage – if that is A.C. crossing in front of Alleywayman 7.15pm IMO he didn’t want to be seen, he stood feet together motionless – if they were working together I’m sure there would have been eye contact and he would have just slowed and waited at the corner.
