Cops used revolutionary familial testing to try to identify similar profiles.

North Yorkshire Police were conducting a review into the original probe.

Claudia vanished in 2009, aged 35. She failed to turn up for work as a chef at York University.

Five men later held on suspicion of murder were released without charge.

Det Supt Dai Malyn said: “These inquiries have been worthwhile but have concluded without identifying a suspect.

“This is naturally very frustrating. Our thoughts are with Claudia’s family who remain desperate for a breakthrough.”
