I'm not sure they can put stuff into the public domain without prejudicing any case can they? We don't know what progress has been made nor what actual avenues they are pursuing. Looking at the existing charges against PR for example, they might think his internet browsing history is of interest? If he's gone onto the dark web that will take a lot of time and expertise to sift through.So am I correct in thinking that the only part of the article that is the actual police statement is the following...
“Enquiries are ongoing into the death of 21-year-old University of Hull student Libby Squire.
“We continue to investigate Libby’s death as a homicide, with further work and analysis being conducted.”
That to me doesnt connect PR currently to the investigation or rule him out, it simply omits any mention of him.
My opinion only, I think thats a little bit lame on behalf of the police. I completely understand that they are in a very difficult position (particularly if they DO believe its him but are struggling to join the dots), but a part of LE job is to provide reassurance that communities are safe. So they need to either press on and make something stick or warn the public to remain vigilant and broaden their thinking on suspects. As we stand at the moment a young women has been snatched, presumed murdered from a busy road and the most they can come up with is basically, We're working on it.
Its coming up to 3 months since Libby disappeared and PRs arrest and 5 weeks since she was discovered, not meaning to sound negative but this doesnt feel like progress at all.
And everytime I think about how frustrating this all is, brings me back to her family again, their pain and suffering is just unimaginable, an unending nightmare.
They might think it's worth going through earlier CCTV to pick him up engaging in other crimes.
They might need expertise to show where she was put in water and where she could have been killed. They may be getting DNA from everyone cigarette butt they picked up.
They might be liaising with other forces to look for patterns.
They linked PR to the case when the first inquest was held and they didn't unlink him this time which I feel must be significant. I'm pretty sure they would have done if they couldn't link. Him at all.
I also wonder if they're still looking for someone else as well.
I would have thought a suspicious death would take a long time to investigate but I'm new to this.
I also think, from what little we've heard about PR, that it might be quite a complicatef case they're bringing to court. Just my opinion but I think he probably has more of a part history than we've heard about.
Her poor family will know far more. They will be kept in the loop. It's their job to get justice for Libby and her family.
