In 2009, Claudia Lawrence lived in the idyllic city of York in North Yorkshire, England. At 35 years old, she seemed to have a great routine going for her. She worked as a chef at the University of York’s Goodricke College Roger Kirk Center, about two miles from her home.
Every day, she woke up, went to work, and came home. Several nights a week, she met her regular group of friends at her favorite pub, The Nag’s Head, which was only four doors down from her two-story townhome. She kept a routine so tight that some likened it to the film “Groundhog Day.”
But this routine was interrupted on March 19, 2009, when she seemingly stood up her best friend Suzy Cooper for a night at the Nag’s Head. But Suzy knew this was not like Claudia. Then Suzy found out Claudia hadn’t shown up for work that day either. Suzy says she could have never imagined that her best friend would go missing or that the media pressure she and Claudia’s family craved for her would quickly turn on them.
If you have any information about Claudia Lawrence and are in Yorkshire, call 101 for the non-emergency police line. If you are calling from abroad, dial +44 1904 933043.
