About this listen

15 years ago Claudia Lawrence went missing. Multiple men have been arrested then released. Several lakes near her home were emptied in the search for her body. Claudia has never been found.


Now, her 80 year old mother Joan Lawrence has asked the journalist Tom McDermott for help, saying this might be her last chance for answers. Tom has spent the past year immersed in Claudia’s friendship group, speaking to people in Malton and Heworth where Claudia and her family lived. But something isn’t right, and even now people are frightened.


Tom looks for answers by speaking to the people who knew Claudia best, exploring the persistent rumours surrounding the case and asking why, 15 years after Claudia’s disappearance, are people still scared of the truth?
