Put the Bong back in the cupboard now Paddy.Here's my theory of what happened. Please feel free to pick at bits that seem highly unlikely.
PR knows that Thursday night is a local student night near where he lives and thinks that he probably has a good chance of hooking up with a random girl who's already quite drunk.
He's driving along Beverly road and sees a man helping up a girl who is obviously wasted. He drives around to Haworth and waits till the coast is clear.
He approaches a very drunk and confused Libby and could say something like "your friends sent me to pick you up, come on, I'm a taxi driver my car's just over there."
In her confused state this may sound plausible so she gets into the car. She could fall asleep as he drives her to the park or says she's going to be sick so he says she can't be sick in the car but there's a toilet just down the road in the park.
When they get to the park he probably makes a move on Libby which freaks her out and she screams running into the park. He grabs her and puts his hands over her mouth to keep her quiet but ends up suffocating her.
Realising what he's done he panics. Knowing the river is nearby he decides to put her in there but first checks her pockets to make sure she hasn't got her phone which can be located.
He can't find her phone on her and thinks she must have dropped it. He doesn't have time to look for it because someone might have heard her scream and called the police.
He puts her in the river and runs back to his car to get away quickly in case the police are on their way.
The next morning when it's light he cleans the car whilst checking for her phone in case it fell out of her pocket. He doesn't find it so he goes back to the park to look for it in the car park, the bushes, the grass anywhere it could have been dropped but he doesn't find it because she didn't have it.
The police check CCTV and see pr at the time Libby went missing. They get his phone records which place him going to the park. They check up on him and find he's been involved with police before. They arrest him and release his picture and some dog walker recognises him as the man in the park who was acting suspiciously looking through bracken and strange places in the park the morning after Libby went missing.
The police could assume he was there to hide a body maybe or move it, but really he was just looking for Libby's phone that he thought she'd dropped.
A few days later he finds out she didn't even have her phone so it's only his that could give him away. He makes up a story about him giving her a lift which gives him an excuse if any cameras saw him put her into his car or if any DNA shows up in his car.

It's as good as Ive seen. Certainly beats the 'Tree canopy' theory I bought 2 weeks ago
