Claudia Lawrence Disappearance: Man Arrested

A 59-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder by police investigating the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence.

Ms Lawrence, 35, was reported missing after failing to turn up for her shift as a chef at the University of York on March 19, 2009.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "The investigation team would like to stress that Claudia has not been found. Police cannot rule out the possibility of further arrests in the future as the review continues.

"Detectives investigating the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence have this morning arrested a 59-year-old man from York on suspicion of murder.

"Forensic examinations and searches are being conducted which are expected to be ongoing over a number of days. A car has also been seized as part of the inquiries."

Forensic officers search Ms Lawrence's home in York

Ms Lawrence's family have been notified of the development.

North Yorkshire Police force has always said it believed the chef had been murdered.

But a long-running investigation which focused on Ms Lawrence's relationships with men drew a blank and a new team of detectives launched a cold case review in October.

Ms Lawrence was last seen at around 3.05pm on March 18, walking back towards her home, and that night she spoke to both her parents on the phone.

It is thought something happened to her after she left for work early on March 19.

Last year, the new investigation team conducted a detailed re-examination of Miss Lawrence's home in the Heworth area of York.

And, in March, senior officers announced a series of new lines of inquiry on the fifth anniversary of the day she failed to turn up for work.

Peter Lawrence made an appeal for information in March

The announcement coincided with a fresh appeal on Crimewatch.

They said the new forensic examination of her house uncovered the fingerprints of people who have not yet come forward.

They also found the DNA profile of an unknown man on a cigarette butt in her Vauxhall Corsa.

Ms Lawrence's father Peter has led a five-year campaign to find out what happened to his daughter.

He told Sky News he often wonders: "Where are you Claudia? Are you safe? Is someone holding you? Have you been hurt? Even, of course, are you alive?

"It's actually, I suppose, a bit like a cancer and it just gets worse and worse because there is no resolution until we know what happened to Claudia."
