@Myjamfactory great, informative first post - welcome !
Interesting to know about PR attending the same gym, is it a gym frequented by lots of students ? Would this just be due to its location ?
I also lean more towards the belief that PR drove out towards his work, armed with the knowledge of woodland and ditches that you mentioned. Not necessarily going all the way and managing to avoid cctv (perhaps not purposefully) that was either broken, only fixed to certain aspects and not able to make out Libby on the way. If I remember rightly, a poster earlier on in this thread found information on the poor state of Hull’s cctv network, think it was due to a lack of funding? (Isn’t everything !)
Very sad to hear the effect on Libby’s friends, no one on that night envisaged what would happen and I don’t doubt they only had libby’s best interest at heart by putting her in a cab to go home and sleep it off.
I wonder if the gym was heavily used by students and was therefore a deliberate choice of gym for PR. Coupled with living close to student accommodation and the ferocity of his perverted stalking/flashing etc, it seemed like a perfect hunting ground for him. Student night and he’s out on the prowl hoping to find someone either alone or vulnerable or both and unfortunately it appears to have been Libby who met his pre requisite that night. All of this added up, I do now believe the majority of PRs actions were pre meditated.
All my own opinion of course.
Thank you for your insight x
