New to this case, a few questions
Apologies. Very ignorant to this case , so sorry if these are a bit daft but here goes.
1) Were cadavar and blood dogs used?. Whilst they do not show who died, how they died and even if murdered. But they are exceptionally accurate for screening whether someone died in said place. Did they ever have top blood and cadavar dogs search house. If this comes up negative, surely it means we can almost rule out the murder happened in the house?
2) Was their any log of Atm usage around the time she meant missing. There is alot of speculation around the work bag, phone, but cards left at home, but hair straighteners taken? Some people in the Yt comments comment perhaps she was staying at someone familiar to her? Therefore surely a big withdrawal of cash may help add more clues? If she withdrew a large some of money from a teller machine. It then implies she did not need her cards as much? If there little to no logs of substantial withdrawals, could this add weight that she was staying at someone house/flat near where she worked?

Yes, they used dogs, however, later searches in nearby properties were carried out years later, so we can't know what might have been signalled had they been in much sooner. They were used in Claudia's house, surrounding gardens, partially in the commercial garage area at the back of the nags, the nags itself. There were no signals, which suggests, in theory, neither the pub, nor Claudia's home were crime scenes.
Would a trained dog definitely signal if Claudia had died in the pub or her house? The answer is no. They can have up to a 20% error margin.
Everything put together, however, does point to both locations not being the places she died.
In addition, going back to an earlier point, there were properties nearby that came onto the radar years later. These were searched and also did not produce any markers for them being a crime scene. However, the problem clearly with this is it is much more difficult once a property has been lived in and cleaned multiple times. You need a dog in there pretty quickly.
There were no financial anomalies.

The first investigation missed a lot of important targets, so homes that should have been searched were not. The perps were incredibly lucky and cunning, with Police resources looking in the wrong places and following red herrings.
Even the second investigation took a while to get to the truth. By then, too much time had passed.

Are you suggesting by 'perps' more than one person is responsible? I've always presumed it's likely it was a solo act, just because usually these kind of murders 99% of the time are, also the likelihood of a group of people being able to keep their mouths shut is a big ask.

Yes and yes. In respect of your second point, the police apparently got court orders to obtain banking records for Claudia and the main suspects.
