This feeds into a notion I had that perhaps he was out working illegally as a taxi driver. Maybe he put a sign up on the car and this is the reason Libby got into his vehicle but refused help from the first driver. Then his reluctance to come forward with information not only because he was the last person to see Libby alive but because he was working illegally. This could explain how he potentially justified being out late/ possibly all night to his wife at home with a baby and toddler. I realise that all along I have been assuming that Libby knew where she was and was choosing to sit on the bench because it was near to her house and also on the main route back from the Welly, where she hoped to spot a friend making their way home. But then I remembered that at that age, I once got out of a taxi accidentally in the street right beside mine and was so drunk I had no idea where I was, just that I couldn’t see a front door that looked like mine. I sat on a nearby wall in a haze until a flatmate of mine (thank God) knew I had left a half hour earlier than him in a taxi and went on foot to look for me. Maybe Libby was actually in 2 taxis that night. So which one did her neighbours see her get out of and flee down the street from? I think that the driver with the grey hair and beard that she refused help from is crucial in determining her level of awareness/ perception
