UK UK - Claudia Lawrence, 35, Chef, York University, 18 March 2009 #8

[Popejohn3]

@Popejohn3 - Clive Driscoll also said in Donal McIntyre's documentary that the focus of the investigation should be the Nag's Head. He is sceptical of her disappearance occurring in the morning and believes it is more likely to be as a result of a meeting that has gone wrong with someone she knew.

And I agree with Driscoll completely!

Weirdly it was posted by someone I used to know...it could be nothing...I’m wary that anyone can look at this thread. But, if you google recent arrests for murder in York you will find a potential new person of interest.

If you think it’s important pass it on to cold case okay!?

From what was said by the person who made the post, the police are already investigating.

I saw it too. The poster was quite distressed. Bearing in mind there is an open case, I think it was sensible for the post to be removed.

I'm not sure that they are linking Claudias case to this one.

Thank you, I’m glad someone else saw it. I think there could be a link, but who knows. I guess something new must have led to this investigation after 13 years unsolved.

It could simply be a confession or a divorce !!

This story is on the internet and the man charged with murder was arrested 3 weeks ago and is due in court in Leeds in October (5 days allocated). Very quick progress suddenly after a long wait since the York victim Mr Clarke's body was found in the River Foss in April 2007.
The only coincidence re CL is that in November 2004 a man with the same unusual name and age was stated in two York Press articles (about a police siege at his home) to be a "campus worker" at York University and lived less than a mile away in Heslington. He's a year younger than CL. There's no information as to how long he remained at the Uni or in Heslington. In one of the articles there's a reference to his serving a jail term in 2002 for assaulting a policewoman. He's clearly well known to the police who must have ruled him out of involvement in CL, but who knows?

It’s interesting. Probably nothing but like you say, who knows? The person who posted on the CL FB page was an ex partner.

@RachelZachary
Was the post not removed from this particular FB website because it is run by someone who has an unhealthy and non independent connection to people in the Heworth area
That person tends to remove anything slightly controversial and that doesn't conform with their purpose for being a group-Which is to offer "Tea and Sympathy"?IMO
That group certainly doesn't demonstrate a willingness to find out what happened to CL.
Particularly as SC and JK are members to keep things in check.

I would agree, yes. The poster didn’t mention any names so discussion could have continued without names/specific details, like we do here on websleuths. Although, other people soon figured it out and they may have disclosed names. The post was removed quite quickly, as Nikynoo said, the poster was quite distressed. I don’t think that the replies she was getting were very supportive though either.

 

[Inspector Evans]

Probably nothing but interesting. Was anything said by partner as to what he was doing in March 2009?

Anyway my gut feeling is her body was disposed of by one of the rivers around York although need much more of course for this to be linked to her.

Was this the person named in post on FB @RachelZachary
On checking, the FB group that censors much of the contribution is run by a person where of her family are associated as work colleagues of on of POIs in the CL case. One of the POIs partners are also members of this group and so there is a conflict of interest that they don't declare.
I was ejected from this group along with hundreds of others because I dared to ask JK and SC questions. Questions they either refused to answer ("No Comment, No comment" or in one case where JK became abusive. (No surprises there then)
The Heworth /Nags Crowd have control over group and I do hope that the police are watching all members?

In the Channel 4 First Cut documentary 'Missing Claudia Lawrence' aired in August 2010 (link below), SC says at 15 min 40s:

"I still call her phone now and then and I end up leaving a message".

Given what we know about CL's phone - it was switched off manually on 19/3/09 and presumably the battery would have died within a couple of days - how was it possible for her voicemail system to still function in this way?
Also, one wonders if this process would have emitted a signal?
Finally, does it give us any clues about whether it is less likely the phone was disposed of in water or concrete if it was able to function in this way?
Do we have any telecomms experts on WS?

Arrest made in Claudia Lawrence case five years after her disappearance
old news but who was the 59 year old and what’s this about a phone recovered from the Lawrence home ?

This is the channel four programme that I wanted to watch again but it has been edited .They left out the bit where JK says “ he started it and he has to finish it”
It was meant to be 30 minutes long !

The 59 yearold was Snelling
Interesting about the phone though was this an old phone that she once owned before she upgraded to a new one?

It was a strange comment by SC and highlights how deeply it affected her.
But as you pointed out with a dead battery how could it operate in this way.
