Thank you!
If she did there is no mention of it afaik - only reported attempts at phone contact after this are 9.12pm SS text (unless it was received at 7.12pm), call from work the next morning and SC text Thursday night.
I believe some guy went into the NH and Claudia was the topic of conversation and he must have come up with that statement and rightly IMO was told to go straight to the police but for some reason ( could it be he fancied her phone and realised the straighteners were not cheap ?) he never did ?
It looks like someone in blue overalls
Man. City played on the Thursday evening.D’oh - my bleary rapid scan for English teams this morning failed to spot it was Villa *or* CSKA.Yeah had a look at Soccerbase and it was actually a very quiet night for football or sports that evening so doubt Sports bar would've been overflowing with just people coming to watch Cardiff-Watford.
Arsenal Hull in FA cup was the previous night so would've been far busier for that game.
Edit; I actually support Villa....and errr the only reason we weren't playing europa that night is we'd already been knocked out!
Now I look again the Sky site listings are pretty confusing all round - as you say, soccerbase gives a clearer picture in confirming that it was, as you say, a very quiet night for English football. Was there some other special event at the NH that Wednesday which could account for ‘overspill’ parking on the road? There’s only a couple of cars outside the front of the pub.
@Inspector Evans From a brief google search, it seems Fox has come up through the ranks at NYP like Malyn.
Certainly doesn’t seem to have been taken very seriously - nobody appears to have asked to look at the photos or where they were taken. If JM didn’t report it to police, I would guess they were straight round to the NH to ask for more details once the quote appeared in the Mirror.
I guess it could just be blue light from a window behind, but there’s a few frames which give the impression of someone stood next to the Astra, possibly talking on a phone. Is there an unreported call logged on CL’s phone records at the time? Is that why this van was of particular interest to NYP?
A couple of frames of the ‘blue blob’ from the bus cctv rotated and brightened.

they could have been there already in plain cloths
Maybe JK crossed the road to have a chat about the text. It would be interesting to know when the Cyprus holiday had been booked. Easter Friday was April 10th, schools broke up on Apr 2nd and the run of early shifts ended on March 30th. If the holiday had been booked to start before March 30th then I guess there would be ructions or something wasn't quite right with Claudia.
Hmm. So “no fun for me” potentially implying that CL was intending to duck out of the Cyprus holiday? Would she have booked to go in the Easter school holidays? On the one hand I guess the uni would be quieter so it would be easier to take time off, but on the other she was complaining to SS about high prices during the “bloody kids hols.”
