Family of missing York woman Claudia Lawrence release prized photos

The family of missing York woman, Claudia Lawrence, has issued photographs of her as a little girl - more than six years since her mysterious disappearance.

They have decided to release the photos to keep her in the public eye as preparations are underway for a special service this Sunday.

Claudia, who worked as a chef at the University of York, has not been seen since March 18th 2009, when she was 35 years old.

Her disappearance is being treated as a murder investigation.

Four men have been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of murder.

A special church service for Claudia will be held this Sunday.

It will take place in Darlington, where Claudia's mother Joan grew up.

The Rev David Railton told ITV News what would happen during the service:

The 'Service for Claudia' starts at 4pm on Sunday.

The public is invited to attend.
