New Age-Progressed Image Released in Claudia Lawrence Case to Spur Fresh Leads

Police urge information with the murder inquiry still in a reactive phase.

Overview

  • The image was produced by the International Investigation Missing Persons (IIMP) and forensic specialist Marcel van Adrichem, showing how Claudia Lawrence may look at 51.
  • Van Adrichem says the age progression combines advanced forensic modelling, familial ageing markers, AI-driven facial analytics, and manual forensic artistry.
  • Lawrence disappeared in March 2009 on her way to work at the University of York, and no trace has been found.
  • Police actions to date include a 2013 major review, a 2016 dropped case against four men, questioning of nine people, and a 2021 search of Sand Hutton gravel pits, with no convictions.
  • Members of the public are asked to report information via the North Yorkshire Police website or by calling 101 and quoting "Claudia Lawrence," with anonymous tips accepted by Crimestoppers.
