@Popejohn3, pls leave Cortina alone. We don’t want to lose her contribution.

Consider it done !

 

[MajorLang]

@MajorLang Have you also got an idea of how CL might have been killed and what they did with the body?

Could have Ben a deliberate overdose and crushed in a car at a scrapyard or cremated in the borough of her old home town.

Check out Colombo back to back on Sunday!
Two people cremated in one coffin in one episode!
Not that I believe any of this happened to Claudia okay ?

Oh I love watching Columbo x

why don't you believe it, pope John
im genuinely interested to know why you'd rule it out

dread to think what you use pj3 for

Two people cremated in one coffin in one episode!

Not too absurd .... Burying on a cemetery in an existing grave .... Along railroad trails near an old abandoned bakery (memory only quite vague) .... There are several possibilities, but normally I don't think about it any longer. Main objective should be: find the perp/s, who made CL disappear.

Well they were looking for a man with mid length grey hair and wearing a light coloured mac lol

Oh I love a mac also ! But seriously the only guy I have seen that fits the description eg: grey windswept hair/Mac etc could be Linda (childminder) husband. Last to see Claudia by the shops.and probably just passing her home x

Columbo would actually need his raincoat in Yorkshire, couldn't light up his cigar in the nags head though, smoking is bad for you, probably get more locals report him than bothered with the police when Claudia dissapered

Cant see Columbo downgrading from smoking Cigars to Embassy cigarettes either

I wonder if she also made media appearances and dropped tantalising phrases like hoping they were "gone before they hit the ground"? @Yozzer

This was a famous case in the mid 90s of a GF who acted the victim at first but was quickly found to have lied.

@MajorLang Having followed your work and line of thinking, I can see how that would be plausible.

Provided it came from concrete rumours and not the spirit world, Rodney’s idea of how CL died is no so far fetched according to stats (see below) I’ve also come up with one or two possibilities, but I don’t want to upset anyone here who’d rather avoid gruesome scenarios being put forward. I do think, however, that it is useful to try and understand, or at least get an incline of how CL died and what happened to the body; if not based on rumours, maybe from ‘veiled confessions’, statement analysis of interviews, etc. Major has hinted at this enough times...

I kn

I think you may be confused.
I said

I can confirm Cold Case Team checked and confirmed Tang Hall Man had not been identified.
As I said I have been in contact with them they have advised me that they believe the lead is worth pursuing and they will keep me updated. Which todate they have

I did take up the subject of the updating of the website. I understand it is not the Cold Case team that directly deals with this[/QUOTE

it’s not new news he has never been identified.. do you think whatever you’re telling them about him is a revelation or something? He looks to me like that mark Thompson is it, the rapist guy who’s wife worked at the uni to be honest ... one would assume they had asked him about Claudia given his MO / other offending of a very similar alleged nature to whay they thought may have happened to her (ie snatched from
Street at 5am) but given they had arrested him and let him go before her disappearance maybe they’d rather not know if it was him ... I think the police have a lot of evidence we know nothing of and that will include phone evidence, messages etc, but an alibi they can’t perhaps shift and tang hall man is maybe irrelevant despite his random remark...

Hi all...first time poster....long time follower! I became intrigued after reading MajorLangs excellent blog,,, so detailed and thought provoking about this complex case.

I've had lots of thoughts, lots of questions and it's so encouraging that people on here are, in the main, wishing to explore what happened to CL to give her family answers they desperately need and have waited over 11 years for already.

My view is that the perpetrator/perpetrators are within CL' s close social group and that they have taken the option to keep quiet and carry on with their lives! I dont think CL was abducted/killed by a person unknown to her.

I don’t think that’s fair 1000’s joined in the hunt especially on social media !

I don’t think it’s one of her close social group but yes he did know her !

Colombo is sticking with his Cuban Cigars !!

Did anyone figure out who the Cuban haz was? And did NYP manage to speak with him in person?

I'm of the view it was one of her close social group that harmed her but I'm undecided whether this was an accident that was then covered up by disposing of CL body or a deliberate intent from the outset to harm her.
