Do you have a link Mersault? Thank you in advance

Officers have also towed away a silver Vauxhall Astra from the street outside the property and remain at his property this morning as it emerged a man in a balaclava was seen near Libby's home.

Didn’t some of the original reports state that there may have been a passenger in the silver car?

Yes, I remember that

Sky reporter was * reprimanded * on Twitter and has now, finally, changed his headline, removing the word body.

he had someone with him a passenger another person with him? or did Libby get in the car which would suggest she knew him?

Missing Libby Squire police identify man seen 'helping drunk student'

“We’d like a man who got out of his car and helped Libby on Beverley Road near to Beresford Avenue around 11.45pm to get in touch with us.
...

"He was driving a silver Citroen car, possibly a Xsara or Picasso model, and has been described as having long grey hair and a grey beard. He could also have been travelling with a passenger in the car.

He seemed to be older though? He had grey hair.

Have searched back through all msm and can no longer read a description of the driver who stopped to offer help. Fairly sure initial reports indicated he was an older man but nothing available to back up that description now.

Morning all. Well I wasn't expecting you guys to sort out an arrest overnight! Hopefully this is the breakthrough we need.

“A driver with grey hair and a beard” here

Appeal to find witness in connection with search for missing woman

“Long grey hair and a long beard” here

 

[TheTruthWillOut]

Oh here we go. I'm afraid now I don't expect a good outcome at all

I'm just trying to think where and how she was taken from/near the bench undetected. Unless Police have held back key details trying to figure that out themselves?

It's quoted again in one post above yours.

So this won’t be the 24 year old man.. maybe it was his passenger? Seems the car towed matches this description

While I thought hypothermia/water were most likely, and statistically I think they would be most likely, I don't remember hearing about house searches before. And then that article that said Libby's closest friends had gone home to their parents so they couldn't attend the vigil, that made me wonder if LE were suspecting an abduction.

Do we know what time the arrest occurred? How long do they have to question someone under arrest in the UK before charges or release?

 

[suzyjackson]

The news of an arrest flashed up on my phone as I was leaving the house for work, I've taken an early break to catch up.

I don't know what to think yet, I love to think Libby could be found alive somewhere

I guess they did. It explains the somewhat odd wording by Libby's mom in the last presser. They might have hoped he is holding her and she's still alive.

Thanks Elainera - I saw the bit about grey hair and beard but was trying to find an article that might have quoted his age - I did think it was quoted, initially, but perhaps it was only the grey hair description which might have given the impression of him being an older man.

Journalists from national and local papers as well as national and local TV are on Raglan Street this morning. It’s after a 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of abduction in connection with the disappearance of Hull student Libby Squire.

This could be an Alexander Pacteau type situation but there is still the chance it could end up like the Gaia Pope circumstances. I'll wait for actual charges.

This was my first thought and I think my first post on the thread although I couldn't remember AP's name at the time, I think if it was a Gaia type situation Libby's body would have been found by now

Oh I see.

I don't remember his age ever being mentioned.
