Revealed: Missing chef Claudia's '40 different men'

The only serious boyfriend of missing chef Claudia Lawrence has spoken for the first time about their relationship � and revealed that she could have made herself vulnerable to approaches from men because she drank too much.

Claudia's friend said that this was only one of a number of relationships. 'I've been questioned by the police three or four times,' he admitted. 'When I looked back and thought about it, I realised there had been a lot of men. I reckon there must have been 30 or 40.

'She can drink a lot � at least six or seven pints of cider a night. But she started changing her drinks from cider to vodka, orange and soda. She would get foolish and act crazy. She might be bitchy or pull faces at someone behind their back. She could be a bit immature.'

"could have been involved with up to 40 men" becomes "Claudia's 40 men". But I don't see why drinking vodka and pulling faces behind people's backs mean she was asking to vanish from the face of the earth. Both are legal.

i don't see why it would cause her to vanish either, I used to drink martini bianco when i was her age, and my mates and i used to really really get crazy and the Dixieland Showbar in Southport was our hunting ground, we caused havoc, but none of us vanished and we were ingredibly immature 20 year olds!

That if you really want to know the character of a person, the last people to ask is the parents.

What? "Asking for it" like the five prostitutes murdered a couple of years ago in the Ipswich area?

I wouldn't have said any woman was "asking for it" gromit, be it date rape or vanishing without trace, I have drank and went a bit wild in my time but have never "asked for it" I don't like that generalisation.

asking for it, no. putting herself in danger, yes.

Not only is that persons comment about her 'asking for it' unhelpful - it must also be very hurtful for her family. She is afterall still missing and likely to be dead.
God knows what kind of grisly end she met.

Poor family having to read stuff like that about their loved one!

No, she was'nt breaking any laws that we're aware of.
