This is just another brainstorm and trying to think outside the box. The issue of the hair dye. Has there been more foul play with a female dressing up etc etc to resemble Claudia who leaves for work in the morning and gets into a vehicle at the right time. Whereas Claudia has disappeared via the back
As we have seen with some of the CCTV; it is not always possible to 100% make out the real identification of someone
Another point is; has someone had their hair done by Claudia the night she went missing. Was a female round her house having her hair done on the idea of going for a drink after the jobs completed. Or was Claudia having her hair done by the visitor. Additionally were both females having their hair done by each other.
It would not be unusual for the visitor to keep quiet while Claudia was on the phone to her Mum. Claudia could of even asked the visitor to keep quiet because she wanted her Mum to think she was being sensible and having an early night due to an early start. Offspring do this to override a nagging but caring parent.
Has the visitor approached and cosied up to Claudia in the manner of I like the way you've done your hair;could you do mine. Or has Claudia asked a Hairdresser to come round to do her hair. Interestingly; there are Hairdressing links to P.O.I .
However; there's an underlying sinister motive because the visitor knows about Claudia. In contrast Claudia is being naive about the visitor and doesn't suspect the visitor knows anything or wants to eliminate Claudia for others. In could be the person wants to eliminate Claudia for personal reasons and due to removing the threat of an exposure about a crime she knows about
Therefore; was Claudia eliminated by asphyxiation via a hair dye bag. My partner suggested that sometimes bags are used over the hair to quicken the dye process. This suggestion also allows the possibility for the hair straighteners to have significance
Furthermore; the possibility of a perpetrator coming out the front dressed up like Claudia. Whereas Claudia has been taken out the back via the alleyway. The Police seemed to have sprung into action over the alleyway a long time after her disappearance. We're they thrown over the deception that a front door exit was made to work; until someone put under pressure gave part of the story away.
Furthermore; again I am sure MajorLangs blog had a strange picture of a Safety Boot print on or near the Bathroom toilet seat. Is the Bathroom where a final part of the hair process was conducted and a foot was braced on the toilet to aid a lifting process. I don't know how advanced forensics is;but could they tell by the print if someone was likely to be left or right footed!?.
I know this is going deep and attempting to link strange bits of information together. But did the hair found in next doors garden have any significance to the angle of someone having their hair dealt with at Claudia's.
Similarly the strange Freudian slip of hoping she was dead before she hit the ground has some meaning. Was Claudia suffocated and strangled but still showed signs of life when she hit the floor. Was something horrific done to end her life when she was on the floor. Thus the comment was made in hope Claudia did not feel the pain of the last act
