YORK chef Claudia disappeared in March 2009 and was last seen on CCTV heading home after working a shift. Although the police have treated her disappearance as a case of murder, with nine people arrested – but later released – her fate is unclear. Investigating police found the only things missing from her home were her mobile phone, chef ’s whites and rucksack, indicating that she left for work before she vanished. As Claudia, who was 35 at the time, knew several people in Cyprus, one line of inquiry was that she’d gone there, but this proved to be a dead end. North Yorkshire Police are still investigating the case, and say they will never give up on Claudia until it is known who is responsible for her disappearance and suspected murder.

ARISTOCRAT Richard John Bingham – better known as Lord Lucan – vanished in November 1974. Heavily burdened by debt and believed to be a domestic abuser, Lord Lucan is thought to have killed the family’s nanny, Sandra Rivett, before disappearing. He had recently lost custody of his three children to his wife Veronica – and it’s believed she had been the intended victim. There are various theories about what happened to him, including rumours that he drowned or shot himself at a friend’s zoo then had his remains fed to tigers. He has also reportedly been sighted living under a new identity in Africa, India and the Maldives, and earlier this year Sandra’s son Neil claimed he had tracked Lucan down in Perth, Australia.
