Today marks a decade since the University of York chef disappeared at the age of 35.
Detectives investigating the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence believe the case is being hampered by the withholding of"key and vital information".
Nine people have been arrested or interviewed under caution in connection with the investigation and police submitted files to the Crown Prosecution Service in relation to a number of individuals, but there was insufficient evidence to bring charges.Detective Superintendent Dai Malyn said:"It remains the case that we strongly suspect key and vital information is being withheld that could provide the breakthrough that we all want to see, not least Claudia's heartbroken family.
"As with some recent cold case successes, the breakthrough has come from the public and we still have confidence that this will be the case."Following Ms Lawrence's disappearance, searches were initially focused on the route between her home on Heworth Road and the University of York. "We know also that her mobile phone didn't leave the area before it left the phone network," he added"Also, we have no actual scene where something untoward may have happened to her despite fresh forensic assessments of her house, car and other locations."
