Detectives believe Claudia Lawrence was murdered, although no body has ever been found'Nothing of obvious significance' was found following a major search of a lake as part of the investigation into the disappearance of university chef Claudia Lawrence, police have said. Detectives believe Ms Lawrence - who lived in the Heworth area of York and worked at York University - was murdered, although no body has ever been found. A small number of items were recovered during the search at Sand Hutton Gravel Pits, which concluded on Sunday. 'Not searching was not an option - not for Claudia, not for her family, and not for the wider public,' he added. Anyone with information that could assist the investigation should contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 1, and pass details to the Force Control Room quoting 'Claudia Lawrence'.
