An investigation into the disappearance and suspected murder of York chef Claudia Lawrence has moved to a reactive phase and is likely to be 'scaled back', North Yorkshire Police say.
Julia Mulligan, the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire, says her thoughts are with the family of Claudia Lawrence, after police said an investigation into her disappearance is likely to be 'scaled down' from next month.
Miss Lawrence, 35, went missing in March 2009 and detectives now say that unless one outstanding line of enquiry provides a breakthrough in the case, they now only look into any "new and compelling" information.
“It is enormously sad that Claudia has not been found despite the years of hard work and dedication. No stone has been left unturned, and every scrap of evidence has been interrogated. “First and foremost though, my thoughts are with the Lawrence family at this very difficult time. I know North Yorkshire Police continue to offer their support and their services should they be needed.”
At around 11pm on Friday night police were called to Darley Avenue in Athersley to reports that a man had been stabbed.
