The man in his 50s, who lives within half a mile of Claudia’s home, was held five days after officers released CCTV footage of a man seen lurking near her house on the night her parents last spoke with her.
It is believed this could be the fourth time police have spoken to the dad, whose wife was being comforted by one of their grown-up sons today.
A local landlady said the dad previously joked about being interviewed by police when Claudia went missing in 2009 aged 35.
She said: “He told me how police had gone round to his house but they questioned lots of people at the time.
“He did joke about it but at the time he was one of a number.”
The latest development was believed to be linked to the CCTV investigation and a recent search of the alleyway behind Claudia’s home in Heworth, York.
The officer leading the murder inquiry described it as a “critical phase in seeking the truth” about what happened to Claudia, who went missing six years ago.
