Claudia's dad in call for missing families' rights
THE father of missing York University chef Claudia Lawrence today backed a campaign calling for more rights for families left in limbo by a disappearance.
Peter Lawrence, 63, said families had no simple way to deal with unresolved practical issues such as property, bank accounts and insurance because it was impossible to prove whether a missing person was dead or alive.
Mr Lawrence, whose daughter went missing from York in March last year, added it was "absolutely necessary" for families to be given more support as he backed the Missing Rights campaign to give families the same rights as victims of crime.
