Episode 406: Claudia Lawrence
One early morning, a woman heads off for work. She leaves her home in Heworth, York, England at the same time and takes the same route she’s been taking for weeks, ever since her car broke down. But on the morning of March 19, 2009, 35-year-old Claudia Lawrence didn't make it to her destination. Police are confident that she left her home that morning, but something happened in the 1.5 miles between her cottage and the University of York’s main campus, where she was a chef.
Over the years, there have been many theories. Was it a lover? A jealous partner? A serial killer? Someone took Claudia Lawrence, and after 14 years, her family has not given up on finding answers. With new leads and tips steadily appearing, will this be the year they finally get those answers?
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation into Claudia Lawrence’s disappearance should make a report via the North Yorkshire Police website or by calling 101, select option 1, and pass details to the Force Control Room. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through their anonymous form on their website. No personal details are taken, information cannot be traced or recorded, and you will not go to court.
