Found Deceased UK - Libby Squire, 21, last seen outside Welly club, Hull, 31 Jan 2019 #13 *ARREST*

[CoverMeCagney]

Can we at least have a collective breather and wait for the post mortem results. The cause of death will determine in which direction the case goes next.

Now we're down to the simple did she jump or was she pushed , i think that if le could establish the exact area that she entered the water they would be getting closer to solving the case !

Whether she jumped or was pushed is irrelevant in my opinion, she wasn’t near any body of water when last seen so had to get there somehow and in my opinion didn’t get there on her own.
I think WHERE she entered is more important as if it was St Andrews Quay then I would think there is a stronger case for abduction as that is pretty far from last sighting.
If she entered up the river near oak road then he could say he took her to the park and she ran away and fell in the river but again, she didn’t get to the park on her own so that makes him responsible.

All my opinion of course

 

[Sera]

Just my opinion, now we need to move on and find out what happened

This is an incredibly sensitive, highly emotional time and most of the thread are heartbroken and shocked. I think everyone needs to try and remain respectful of eachother right now and try not to be insensitive or blunt when emotions are running so high. A beautiful young woman has been confirmed deceased and a lot of people are now beginning to grieve. There may be members of Libby's family or friends in this forum so we all must please remain mindful and sensitive in the words that we choose to write on here publicly.

Rest in peace, Libby.

I got a weird feeling that we might get some big news this week.

I have no inside information or knowledge.

It's a gut feeling.

As a local, and as a mother of a daughter the same age as Libby I have read thro every single post on these threads and have continued to follow daily for the past 3 or 4 weeks.

I had thought for some time that the water held the answers and last night when the news came out that she has probably been found I, like many of us, thought that at least her family can have her home and say goodbye, it seemed like the beginning to the end of this tragic story.

But just now, reading that it has been confirmed to be poor, beautiful Libby - that broke me. I know so many of us get emotionally invested in these cases but I didn't realise quite how much until I'm sat here crying into my tea.

Between the sentencing this morning of that evil boy, who finally confessed to raping and murdering poor little 6 years old Alesha Macphail, to then end the day with this awful news about Libby, I feel completely and utterly drained. Thinking of the familys and friends of these 2 beautiful girls tonight

 

[Mauig’ma]

What a shame. Prayers to her family and friends. My condolences.

 

[ly502]

Show some respect for goodness sake.

Thank you for saying this Offaly. I started to post as well but was just too upset...

Is there a way of tracking tides and currents and working out a estimated area the person could of entered the water?

There are various organisations that measure tides and currents in UK waterways and hold historical data; the info is used for things like tracking water use, effects of land use on water and flood prediction. It would be possible to look at the speed and direction of currents and track back how a body had travelled.

I have read every post since thread #1 and never gave up hope and never stopped thinking about libbys family and friends for even one day . The last video of Libby having fun in the car brought me to tears . Such a sad loss of life for someone who had a whole life still ahead of her . So sad for all the emotions our members are now feeling . My heart goes out to you all . RIP sweetie x

 

[THEmittens]

As am I.

I've never fully subscribed to the idea that Oak Road would be the entry point: The river Hull has too many bends and obstructions, is too shallow for a good portion of each 24 hours to hide a corpse consistently, and exits near The Deep whom I believe have activity monitoring tech.

This thought process is borne out by talking with somebody that is heavily involved in the tidal habits of the river itself as it is crucial information used in his job which involves the barges and bridges from as far back as Sutton fields all the way to exit and route to the docks.

Thank you for this information. Where do you, or the person who has the knowledge think she went into the water?

This night is a night of all nights.... it’s not an end. It’s a new chapter. For us though we take a breath. For family it’s a turning of the head to shed the tears bottled up for this moment. To everyone here it’s been quite a journey with you. I bid you good night and should we meet on another thread...may we seek the truth, justice and fairness that is our intersection of a strangers life.

Poor Libby, gone too soon. Just starting out in life . RIP x

 

[Jmcc211]

Heartbroken to hear that it is Libby but I guess we all knew deep down once the body was found and believed to be female. RIP beautiful girl X

 

[Noseyjosie]

Heartbreaking to have our worst fears confirmed but glad for Libby’s family that she wasn’t lost to the sea.

Rest in peace beautiful lady xx

CCTV shows him getting Libby into his car. Phone pings linked him to the park, PR has without doubt good knowledge of Libby’s final moments, he is the last person to see her alive

All that is supposition. Where has it been stated that was without doubt him, without doubt that was her? Where has it been stated anything about phone pings linking him to park? Where have police said he was the last person to see her alive? This is not verified as far as I can tell, unless you work for Humberside Police and have inside knowledge. It may well transpire to be the case, but for now until it is proven she was murdered, and police apprehend a suspect and bring charges, nothing can be confirmed as definite fact.

 

[LastSeenWearing]

Just seen the breaking news on BBC news 24 that Humberside Police have confirmed the body found near Grimsby docks is that of missing Hull university student Libby Squire. I just burst out crying even though deep down I knew it must be Libby. Utterly heart breaking. My thoughts go out to her poor poor distraught family. So so tragic utterly heartbreaking

 

[Officer Dibble]

Rest peacefully sweet Libby, you seemed so full of life in your videos and photos. I hope you still have a story to tell to those looking for answers x

What Stella said above. I'm so sad. RIP Libby.
