DNA that was found in missing person Claudia Lawrence\u2019s car has no match.<\/p>\n

North Yorkshire Police can confirm the DNA forensic investigation work has now been completed in relation to the investigation of Claudia Lawrence.<\/p>\n

Detective Superintendent Dai Malyn said: \u201cWhile these enquiries have been worthwhile and necessary to the investigation, they concluded without identifying a possible suspect or suspects from the DNA analysis.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, it demonstrates that we will continue to use forensic and other investigative work to progress this review.\u201d<\/p>\n

Detectives travelled across the country trying to match up the sample taken from Miss Lawrence\u2019s car.\u00a0 North Yorkshire Police hoped to find a match that would lead them to a suspect, but they have drawn a blank.<\/p>\n

The DNA sample was found on a cigarette in her car, this was in a garage due to being repaired when she vanished. There have been several arrests, but no one has ever been charged in connection with her disappearance.<\/p>\n

The last ever contact with Claudia Lawrence was on the 18th\u00a0March 2009 when she spoke to her mother by phone.<\/p>\n
