All the holidays, plus new engine for car, and out drinking, a miracle on her wage I would say

Claudia was known to help out at the NH
This would not be free help surely perhaps cash in hand ?

Not sure a few hours here and there would make much of a difference, cash in hand or not

Have you taken into account the camber on the path. If you walk one way you may limp but not the other way?

Yes I did a google street walk on that section too. I believe the man A has a slight limp.. Did RC walk with a slight limp?
Im sure in the future advances in technology will provide the means to see these videos in a new light until then there will always be an element of uncertainty
Also regarding the CCTV of the evening of the 18th where a male is shown again and returns with a large Rucksack could this because he had parked his car in Heworth rd or the Limes and was returning to the car to collect his overnight bag.

She most likely used credit cards most people do.

 

[MajorLang]

As you say if he was a friend, he’d have a good reason for being in her house and therefore no reason to lie about being there near her house .
I don’t think anyone has admitted it was them : the police would have changed their website

@Popejohn3 If you've been in her house before then you can excuse any dabs or DNA-The perfect cover for murder

I thought the man was returning into. An alleyway ?

I think people presumed that because he has also been referred to as Alleyman.. The man turns into Heworth Place at 7.15pm and then is seen leaving carrying a large rucksack 1min 8secs later. To me its a reasonable time to have gone to his car parked either in Heworth Plce or The Limes carpark to collect the bag... was it an overnite bag?

Or to have let himself into 15 Heworth Place using the key lock that is positioned outside and got the contraband from there

Yes that is a consideration but where did he go because he doesnt appear on the CCTV at Costcutters or the Limes until the morning of 19th.
can I ask how do you think Man A is?

Who ?

Alleyman doesn't appear in cost cutters-Man in light jacket dors-Alleyman could avoid cost cutter camera by staying on opposite side of road-Who is man A?

 

[keep-it-real]

I was asking who you thought the man entering The Limes was on the morning of 19th was.. I referred to him as Man A.

I reckon that SC didn't bother checking Claudia's house because she was miffed at being stood up. JK and Claudia had probably fallen out over something and that's why she didn't check on her either.

I reckon that SC didn't bother checking Claudia's house because she was miffed at being stood up. JK and Claudia had probably fallen out over something and that's why she didn't check on her either.

Even so the house was practically next door to the pub. I still can't understand why once she realised CL wasn't going to come that evening she didn't go outsidem 50 yards down the street and tap on the window/door or even see if there were any lights on.

While I certainly don't suspect SC of any wrongdoing that is odd to me, I could understand it more if Claudia live half a mile down the road and then you probably wouldn't bother.

IIRC when she was asked in one of the many interviews why she didn't investigate if CL was at home (obviously not known at that point she was missing until next morning) she said this was a regular occurance?

Which also leads me to say if she was in the habit of agreeing to meet and not turn up surely a text or two would've been sent in the morning/afternoon to remind CL of the meeting? Of course the phone was turned off at midday that Thursday but haven't seen any reporting of any texts from SC to CL's phone after their final meeting.

Yes SC phone and texted Claudia next day but had no joy
I don’t know why people are turning this into a big thing.Claudia most probably went out like a light because of the previous night.
Her friends got it right no one including CL could ever imagine that something bad was going to happen in the morning!
Her friends including the one from Morton should not feel guilty after all Claudia was a grown up woman. There is the only one person responsible for her demise and the police should get their finger out !!

When CL never turned up on previous occasions , did anyone ever go to check on her ?

By implication you are saying they normally would have checked ? Or would they say she’s got an early start bless her ... let her sleep

Perhaps they were told to stay away and let her Dad be the first to discover their missing!

Clearly they didn't get it right @Popejohn3 They should have checked but as I say it would be difficult for them if they discovered her missing so early on.
