Claudia Lawrence (35) is a chef at the University of York who has been a missing person since March 2009.
Lawrence was last seen nearing her home in Heworth, York, on the afternoon of 18 March, as she returned from her work as a chef at the University of York's Goodricke College. That evening she spoke to her parents by 'phone and later sent a text message to a friend; she has not been heard from again since then.
She was reported missing after she failed to arrive at work for her early morning shift the following day. Police are now treating her disappearance as a suspected murder.
Speaking on the BBC 'Today' programme on 4 June 2009, Claudia's father Peter Lawrence said he doubts police claims that she had a secret life. He queried the comments made by Detective Superintendent Ray Galloway on Tuesday's BBC Crimewatch programme, specifically that parts of Claudia's life "remain a mystery" and that police believe she had "complicated relationships" that her family and friends knew nothing about.
The independent crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers has offered a reward of £10,000 to anyone providing information which leads to the arrest and conviction of any person linked to the disappearance.
The secret life referred to by Det Supt. Galloway may be reference to the growing speculation that Miss Lawrence worked secretly as a Escort. Without friends or family knowing this is quite compelling, yet without any of the secret boyfriends coming forward it only prolongs matters. Although the Police have ruled out she was an Escort or involved with Dating Agencies The police however are still asking that the secret boyfriends to come forward.
