Man Held Over Claudia Lawrence Disappearance
A 59-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of 35-year-old chef Claudia Lawrence.
Miss Lawrence was reported missing after she failed to turn up for work at the University of York on March 19, 2009.
She has never been found and a team of detectives launched a cold case review in October.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "The investigation team would like to stress that Claudia has not been found. Police cannot rule out the possibility of further arrests in the future as the review continue.
"Forensic examinations and searches are being conducted which are expected to be ongoing over a number of days. A car has also been seized as part of the inquiries."
Last March police announced a series of new lines of inquiry on the fifth anniversary of her disappearance and a new Crimewatch appeal was launched.
