Today marks 14 years since the disappearance of York chef Claudia Lawrence.

Detectives believe the 35 year old, who lived in Heworth, was murdered - although no body has ever been found.

Her family have previously said they'll never give up hope of finding her.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said:

"On the 14th anniversary of the disappearance and suspected murder of Claudia Lawrence in York, our thoughts remain with Claudia’s loved ones at this very difficult and poignant time of year.

"Claudia’s family, friends and the wider public can be assured that all new information is carefully, and thoroughly, assessed by the Cleveland and North Yorkshire Police Cold Case Review Unit.

"Any information that is assessed as being credible and capable of development will be acted upon. This is hopefully demonstrated by the enhanced policing activity which took place in late 2021.

"Whilst the investigation remains reactive, North Yorkshire Police is committed to providing the answers that those closest to Claudia need. We are reaching out once again to the public to assist us in our ongoing efforts to find those answers."
