Claudia returned at 3pm, that leaves plenty of time to dye and dry. She didn't use her phone for a few hours because she was busy with her hair.

14:31 pm
CL finishes shift and leaves work-Verified by CCTV cameras.
On her walk home she is seen at parade of shops / post box near 204 Melrosegate.
She is seen talking on her phone to someone as she stops to post a letter in the post box-Verified by CCTV cameras. This location is the half way point between work and home.
Later her mother mentions that they had a call during the time frame of approx. 14:05 to 14:40 pm.
When leaving work she was not seen to be on phone on CCTV camera and so her mother's timing was probably more likely to be a time range of 14:05 to 14:30.
14:48
It was a walk to the post office of 0.8 miles from work and would take 17 minutes and so she would arrive to post letter at approx 14.48.
If her Mother was accurate with her time of conversation, Claudia was probably talking to someone else as seen when posting the letter-who?
14:51
CL was spotted walking home and given a lift by a female work colleague, her name Jo.
This would have to be after posting the letter and by car the time to cover the remaining distance of 0.9 miles would be Approx. 3-4 minutes.
Jo dropped her off outside her home, again at Approx 14:51 (Based upon above time and distance assumptions).
14:51 to 15:05
CL then goes back out at an unreported time and Returns home at a reported time of 15:05 when seen by childminder, Linda Chapman with child in pram at this time.
CL was returning back home and they exchanged pleasantries as she passed by the Nags Head, her local pub.
No one knows where she went for such a short period of time (10 minutes maximum).
What is known as whilst she would have had time to visit the parade of shops at Heworth Village nearby, she was not picked up on CCTV camera there.
However given that she may have visited and met someone (possibly to arrange something) Did she purchase hair dye??
Did she go to Travel agency to do something to her upcoming trip to Cyprus-check prices?
She could only have walked 3-4 minutes away from her home.
Who did she know who lived within or worked within this radius...???
