In that case maybe he was on his way home from work, I'd guess a factort like that might work 24 hours
Good idea, looks like there are long/late shifts at Karro food factory. It’s to the east through so he shouldn’t have been driving in Libby’s area if he was heading home.
Edit: though actually if he was still working in York, he would probably have driven down the A1079 which would take him directly past the bench...
