Ahead of the anniversary of her disappearance, senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Jon Sygrove, said: "My thoughts remain with Claudia’s mother and wider family. I cannot begin to understand the distress her mother has endured over the past 16 years, but I can reiterate our commitment to finding out what happened to Claudia.
"As we have stated many times, the barrier to unlocking the answers for Claudia’s loved ones are the people who know or may suspect what happened to Claudia.
