“It Was Someone She KNEW” The Shocking Truth Behind Claudia Lawrence's Murder 

Her poor father tried so hard to find the truth

I firmly believe the answer to this case is very close to home.

I hope her family gets answers soon. I cannot imagine not knowing where your loved one is. 💔

Peter Lawrence tried so hard to find his baby girl. I don’t know if heaven exists or not, either way, Peter is with his daughter now, or at least out of pain. RIP to Peter and Claudia 🌹

Claudia needs justice god bless her❤

I really hope that the truth comes out.

Her poor father suffered so much. I hope they are reunited in Heaven. I don't believed she was trafficked.

The Len Goodman of British crime

Fantastic format, superbly executed. Bring Matthew Steeples in more - he made a highly pertinent point concerning the possible double standards 'distractions' in this case and I was keen to hear more.

I feel so bad that her dad passed away never knowing what happened to his child. Someone knows what happened, and I hope somebody does the right thing and tells her mum

Peter shouldn’t be wasting his time on TV. he should be running the Met.

Just not enough evidence to force a conviction but the police know.

I felt so sorry for her dad, he looked absolutely broken. RIP

It took the police too long to act. Her Dad fought tirelessly for justice.

Very sad ...

How the family get through the day and sleep through the night must be an immense challenge. We should pray for Claudia and her family 🙏

The way they’re talking so strongly about witness protection, this sounds to me like they’re directing this at someone in particular. They know exactly who they want to talk.

I lived in York for 6 years and this case affected the whole city (it still does) Poor Claudia. The general consensus amongst people who live there (or atleast it was when i lived there) is that the police 100% know who it is however theres not enough evidence to prove it/prosecute and i firmly believe this… hope justice is served soon. Thinking of her family and friends 15 years on

what a great show , these guys know whats wrong with the met and other forces .they should be asked to set up a department to make things change for the better

Shame, loads of lunatics out there in every country.

Its not acrime to have asecret life but it leaves you open to nefarious players.

I always go back to this case hoping for an update...Hopefully one day 🙏🏽

Peter is entertaining. Glad to see more of him. Also agree with his opinions

I hope she is with her Dad , and that her body is found so she can be laid to rest for her Mother’s sake. Horrible situation for all involved.

We always get our man! BS. WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS POOR GIRL???? There is NO such thing as disappearing into thin air. So so sad.

The Police will know what happened, just can’t prove it unfortunately.

When people make comments that no one should comment on her private life, its popostrus. Her private life activities is the only logical reason why she is no longer here. You cant find the answers without talking about that.

It's all about the motivation. The likelihood that someone would be randomly abducted and murdered is incredibly low. Claudia was almost certainly murdered for a reason. If she was living a modest life working as a chef in the university, she clearly wasn't involved directly in crime. I think it's unlikely to be organised crime, as there's no real motivation or significant culture of organised crime in York which she appears to be on the periphery of. It's way more likely to be a very personal crime e.g. having a relationship with someone who decided it was better if she was out of the picture permanently and meticulously planned her exit. Probably a married guy who exploited her by asking for caution and secrecy, so he wouldn't get caught playing away from home, thereby coaching her into not leaving a trail. Poor Claudia - I hope this case is solved and she gets justice.

It's unbelievable that there has been no conviction. It's almost like either a feared family involved or, the police

One of the chaps who she had an affair with has something to do with this, maybe she threatened to tell their wife, this happens in many affairs and destroys marriages, she became to much of a burden for him to bare, the crime will be solved one day.

Hi from the States. Crimes against Women here are getting so common and I thank you for covering these issues.

I watch this case over the years as Claudia went missing the same week my daughter was born. Shes 15 now. I think of her parent's, her mum now, and all that time without their daughter.

Prostitutes don't get looked for when they go missing, they suspected poor Claudia was a marriage wrecker in that she had affairs with multiple married men. So in effect they treated her like a nobody like as if she was nothing. So didn't really look for answers.

The police lost this case right from the beginning by being way too keen to protect her image to her family. They were also too keen to protect the image of the men she was or had affairs with. So much time has now passed and I doubt they will even find out what happened to her or who was responsible.

Can't believe that some people are harbouring poss murderer

'You have the right to remain watching.' Who thought that up 😂

someones knows ( apart from the perp) I hope they come forward

Hope this Chat Will Help , 👌👍👏👏👏👏

She wasn't necessarily murdered on her way to work. She last spoke to her mum circa 20.00 and was called by a work colleague to see if she wanted a lift the following morning. He also may have called upon her the evening before but he specifically avoided the route past her house the following day on his way to work. I found that odd because people change their minds about lifts. She never responded to a 9pm text from a friend and never opened the text that night or the following morning. Her hair tongs were missing and her work whites. What was odd is that she was due to meet her friend after 9pm in The Nags Head yet this friend never called her or went to her door to see where she was. The house was a few doors away. Another friend who worked behind the bar never went to check on her after her shift ended. And that I found odd. Two friends who never checked up on her that night and one was expecting to meet her. This friend said something interesting: 'I regret not giving more information to the police st the time'. That suggests that she may have known who she may have been meeting. It wasn't just her passport left but also her cards. If she left she would have taken a card in case she needed money to get a cab. Whatever occurred happened at her home.

I'm very glad that the police haven't given up hope on finding out what happened to Claudia.

99.9% of the time it's someone who knows the victim. That's how they get their victims, it's not rocket science

It must be so heartbreaking for her mother. Hopefully she’ll be found and someone charged before her mother dies.

How does a person disappear goes into a house and never leaves she has to be buried somewhere In that apartment or dismembered and flushed toilet..or in a trash bin ..or someone isn't being honest when she went missing

This man is the most wholesome hill street blue type non lackey in uk history .

Because the public won't speak to journalists means nothing. I wouldn't for any reason speak to them.

SHADES OF SUZY LAMPLUGH VERY SAD CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT HER FAMILY HAVE BEEN THROUGH I REMEMBER WHEN THE POLICE OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED THAT CLAUDIA WAS MISSING SOMEONE ON THAT WALK SHE TOOK NABBED HER AND MADE HER DISAPPEAR. REST IN PEACE PETER MAY JUSTICE BE SERVED 🌻

Realistically, how many people would be willing to give up virtually their entire lives and go into witness protection, if the case didn't involve themselves or their loved ones directly? No matter how much help and support they would receive from the police and other agencies, I would assume hardly anyone. If they were offered millions to establish themselves in their new lives, then there would probably be a few more prepared to do it but that sort of money seems to be reserved for murderers and the like who get given new identities.

There's an amazing podcast series from BBC Sounds on her Mother's experience/story who was largely forgotten in the subsequent media coverage. She is still here and wants Claudia's house to go to good use. She also looked tirelessly.

I suspect there will be a vital breakthrough in the coming years.

I remember this. The police and journalists should have never judged her, for her private life.

Please look into the disappearance of Marsha Wray. Also in North Yorkshire in Starbeck/Knaresborough. Because she disappeared before the prevalence of CCTV and social media, in 1997 her case isn't so well known. I have am interested as 11 years before, I sold my house to Marsha and her husband.

I’m convinced it was the creeper slinking around behind her street,either a recent ex or a fantasist with a crush from college or the pub,who else could it be?maybe simply a man who saw walking?

Her poor Mother x

For you to threaten people to keep their mouths shut, it must already be known to the people that you are a violent person, have a reputation locally. So, it could well be someone from the criminal community that is doing the threatening, Although I believe a lot of the silence is down to people not wanting to be stiched up for her disappearance.

Losing a loved one to street violent crime is a horrendous experience, especially when the perpetrator or perpetrators are still at large, you feel violated and impotent in many ways. On the 27th of December 2015, my then 21 year old son was murdered by knife outside a pub and the killer remains free, hasn’t been arrested yet.

Poor love ❤️

I go past her house all the time in Heworth York. Very nice area

Sadly there is no such thing as a good cop these days! As they clearly demonstrate to us every week in London

Great guests

I hope she gets justice

My neighbour some years ago told me he climbed over his garden fence at 3 in the morning and nobody saw him - I said I guarantee someone saw you - someone always does.

4 people plus the host is too many for a panel on such a short show.

Heartbreaking beautiful young Lady God Bless her always .

I think the police likely have a clear picture of what happened, but have been totally unable to make anything stick. My guess is the perpetrator(s) are known to the police already as part of the enquiry given how many men they spoke to - either the police haven't yet joined the dots, or haven't been fully able to based on the evidence or lack thereof.

So sad

Terrible situation for the family

I have always believed that Claudia is buried in someone’s garden or cellar, relatively locally, which would gel with views in this video that on the night of her disappearance she probably visited the house of someone she knew. (May have needed a reason to stop some information coming out?) ….. 💔

I hope they find Claudia. I used to start work early, so it's close to my heart. and I've had ex boyfriend stalkers previously. Someone on RU-vid did a tarot reading, as I followed her Claudia's path from home I saw a fairy garden. I didn't know it existed, so I had look around on Google. Online there were 3 clues the tarot lady mentioned. Bridge, Castle, snowflake. The garden is by a quiet bridge, there's a model castle, and a fairy house which looked like a snowflake above the door from a distance. I guess when you want to find out, even though people don't always believe in tarot etc, I always think to explore every possible avenue. I said a prayer for Claudia to ask her to try and contact someone who can communicate to help find her, or lead someone to where she is. God bless all the missing one's.

Her 2 friends know a lot more than they’ve said. Dee

Please stop judging this poor woman for her supposed life style. She is missing possibly deceased, say a prayer for her instead 🙏

That person whoever they may be, is still walking around amongst us, what else could they have done I think meantime...or an ex boyfriend..

I’ve just tuned in and have to say that this presenter is amazing, he’s on the ball, shrewd and articulate

I wonder if we will ever find out what happened to her and who is responsible.

My mother calls to my house about 3 times a year but I call to her a lot so it’s understandable Claudia’s mam didn’t know a whole load about her life. If I was a betting man (and I am) I wouldn’t rule out stranger abduction , reminds me of the Sarah Everard case but I don’t have enough facts to be sure. Geofencing her mobile should tell a tale.

This reminds the of the Bakewell Tart case - in that case a body was found but it all involved married men as suspects. Infidelity is behind a lot of murder. Wish more young ladies realised how dangeous it is.

Her brave mum..hope she gets some answers soon and finds some kind of peace xx

Is it possible that the man in the cctv wanted to get something from her house knowing she was not there?

That night she spoke to her mum, she even had a message that night but didnt get back to it, it was turned off the day after at dinner time, why as the police not managed to see where she was when she spoke to her mum (by tracking the phone also why can they not see where abouts it was turned off) they know someone turned it off and the battery didnt go. Her dad even kept the payments up on the house for all them years 😢

So sad , RIP Claudia, You will be found.

I really hope the police get to the bottom of this & lay Claudia to rest 🤞🏻

If someone needs an identity changed to remain safe then she must have been mixed up with a gang or organisation, but the public are simply not being told anything of substance.

So would love this case solving. Beautiful woman and sad for her dad and family..

This reporting is fantastic 👍

Surely they could of tracked her phone company to see who she was txting or ringing aswel someone must know something or heard something hope they find her or find out whats happened

Maybe if anonymous reports where encouraged it would help, I understand that can cause havoc as well but surely after all this time any fake claims could be easily dismissed?

Has anyone else heard this ….”I'm extremely confident it was PR, anyone who knows the suspects arrested will know who that is. A girl that's younger than 30 had been going to the nags head recently and got on with him and went back to his house and ended up passing out asleep, when she woke up he was over her and her trousers were off. If he's capable of that, I think it speaks volumes about what else he's potentially done.” This person knows the girl it happened to…. I presume he means the walnut tree pub though that’s where some of “them” drink now

This is why we need to get behind our police, they do a very difficult job these days, especially with ethnic communities bringing all the problems with misogyny and colluding in crimes of honour killings etc.they have to tread so Carefully with people they may not agree with. They are not all bad, clearly some, like this detective deserve our wholehearted support.

I really hope Claudia’s family get answers soon,And a closure to this case

They always say when they have absolutely no leads they hope loyalties have changed, they are basically begging for help.

How scary is it her killer is still out there ?

Just found this show. Very interesting.

Her poor family but I'm so glad answers are closer. Her poor father campaigned so hard and let's be honest that is primarily why this case is still at the forefront due to the mother and father. I really hope they find her 🙏

A fascinating case. Her handbag was found next to a stream on the route that she took to work, so she must have left for work that morning. Two mysteries for me are the identity of a new lover that she had spent the previous night with, and the fact that on the evening before she disappeared she was due to meet two friends in the pub next door to her house but never showed up, yet her friends did not call and ask where she was.

Bears striking resemblance to the estate agent from Fulham who disappeared Susie Lamplugh same age same looks and just disappeared

Money talks. Was there ever a reward offered for Claudia's case??

Was she secretly involved with a married man and was it getting to hot for him to handle has the police overlooked and been hoodwinked by a man they have already interviewed ???

This case ALWAYS stuck with me. Whatever happened to her is such a mystery.

Someone she knew, and somebody knows the identity of them. Or have suspicions.

The answers are with the people in the pub were she was frequenting,vengeful wife would be my guess

The text she received at 9.10 that night was never opened or replied to which would suggest she came to some harm that night... straighteners missing? Why? Maybe she was staying somewhere else that night and going from.there to work?
