I agree that we can't take any indirect quote from PR as gospel, but if true, I can't help but believe that every single detail of it was designed as some kind of defence for why he was parked near the bench, why she was in his car, why there was evidence of physical contact between them, why her address is entered in his satnav and why he was driving in the direction of her house. To decide to include the 'crying' detail is odd. Who would think of that unless (and I'm so sorry to be typing this) there were tears (dna) at some point that he thinks he may need to explain.I don't think the wife has made any public statements, has she?
We don't have any evidence that she was crying, afaik. This is just an inference drawn from the word "distressed" which is often police-speak for falling-down drunk where the person is regarded as a victim rather than an offender.
It may be that she was, but unless there is a trial and we hear from witnesses like Grey Beard, we're unlikely to find out. The boys who saw her get out of the taxi and walk away didn't say she was crying at that point.
For reasons which are obvious, I wouldn't attach any importance to the indirect quote from PR.
I think that liars try to stick as closely to the truth as possible and if this reported version is true, then nothing he has said is untrue. Libby was near the bench, he did see her, he did park nearby, she did get in his car, he did put her address into his satnav, he did drive towards her house, they was physical contact... so for me, she did cry... the darling girl.
