| 0:05.7 | 35-year-old Claudia Lawrence speaks on the phone with her parents and texts her best friend |
| 0:10.6 | about meeting for drinks the following evening. When Claudia fails to show up for work the next |
| 0:15.2 | morning and misses her meet-up with her friend, she is subsequently reported missing. |
| 0:20.5 | The investigation went on cover allegations that Claudia was involved in some secret relationships |

| 1:52.9 | with Claudia or knew of one that a friend or colleague or neighbour was involved in. Please, |
| 1:57.8 | if they're going to be discreet and if they want to actually and I was able to deal with it |
| 2:01.9 | in a controlled way, in a confidential way, they need to pick up that phone and give the call tonight. |
| 2:07.1 | You see some people might think they're protecting Claudia and they're protecting Claudia's reputation, |
