Missing chef’s steps retraced

THE father of missing university chef Claudia Lawrence walked part of her route to work yesterday, handing out posters appealing for the public’s help to find his daughter.

Peter Lawrence visited a parade of shops in Melrosegate, on the outskirts of York, with family friend Martin Dales, and handed out flyers to businesses and members of the public.

Solicitor Mr Lawrence took to the streets a day after he made an emotional appeal for help to find his daughter as police said they could not rule out the possibility she had been abducted.

Miss Lawrence, 35, of Heworth Road, York, was last seen last Wednesday afternoon at the University of York’s Goodricke College, and later spoke to her parents on the phone.

North Yorkshire Police believe Miss Lawrence disappeared at around 5.30am the next morning, after she left home to walk three miles to her job as a chef at the college.
