The six-year investigation into what happened to missing York cook Claudia Lawrence has taken a new direction with police hinting they could be close to making more arrests.
In a carefully choreographed event close to her home in the Heworth area of the city, detectives invited locals to the screening of previously unreleased CCTV pictures and issued a warning that those with information should speak up.
North Yorkshire Police initially thought Claudia, 35, had no boyfriend when she went missing in March 2009, but discovered she apparently hid relationships from her family and friends.
Despite a massive police operation, no evidence of Claudia has ever been found and no-one was arrested until the investigation was re-launched with a new team of detectives in 2013.
Senior investigating officer Detective Superintendent Dai Malyn has said he believes some people are lying to him.
"If I reach the point where we believe people continue to obstruct this investigation or assist or cover up for the person or persons responsible, they will be arrested," he said in a statement.
A man who was arrested last year on suspicion of murdering Claudia has since been released without charge while another man remains on police bail on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
The CCTV footage, displayed on a large screen for six hours, shows someone walking along the lane that leads to the back of Claudia Lawrence's home a short while before her last known contact with anyone.
The same person returns with what appears to be a bag over their shoulder and pauses to let someone else pass by before continuing.
Detectives hope someone can identify the two people and were filming those who turned up to view the video.
Claudia's father Peter Lawrence held a news conference on the sixth anniversary of the day she was last seen and gave his support to the police operation.
"It just really hurts so much and it galls me that someone out there knows what has happened to Claudia and has not said anything," he said.
"All we can hope is that we find out what happened to Claudia. If she was murdered as the police believe then I want to be able to bury her."
Det Supt Malyn said further arrests could follow "in the coming weeks and months".
