This witness really is key- she didn't make it very far in 45 minutes in a cab. It doesn't look she existed the cab at her home. Perhaps she wanted to look for one last bar before calling it a night.

The witness who we asked to get in touch with us earlier has done and has really helped out.

Glad the witness has come forward. I worked in Hull for a while and was struck by the high number of homeless and also people with addiction problems.

The time lost in the taxi seems to be key here. I'd have thought an appeal for dashcam footage would have gone out by now.

Emergency services looking for missing Libby search frozen pond

Emergency rescue teams have been searching a frozen pond as they continue to look for missing Libby Squire.

Humberside Fire and Rescue sent teams to comb dense woodland and the large pond at Oak Road playing fields.

Three members of the search team focused efforts on breaking up sheets of ice on the frozen pond with large harpoon-like instruments at around 11am on Saturday morning.

The team also waded into thick patches of thawed mud and reeds during the extensive search of the area.

The area wasn’t cordoned off by police, but the watch sergeant said at the scene they were "helping in the search to find missing student Libby Squire".

Maybe she got kicked out of the taxi and tried to walk home. There is a canal nearby but it doesn't look particularly accessible as it's behind a wall.

Pressee earlier today:
We’re live from Clough Road Police Station at a press conference with Detective Superintendent Simon Gawthorpe in relation to the disappearance of Libby Squire.

Libby was last seen on Beverley Road at 11:45pm on Thursday, January 31.

"She got into a taxi outside Welly on Beverley Road at 11pm. She was then seen at the junction of Haworth Street and Beverley Road at 11.45pm by a male driver who has come forward to help police with enquiries.

Hull Live understands that the last available CCTV footage of Libby was of her sitting on a bench on the corner of Haworth Street.

It is understood Libby got out of the taxi at Haworth Street and walked to the bench. At around 11.45pm, a driver got out of his car, asked if she was OK and got back into his car when she told him she was fine.

That was the last sighting of Libby."

I wonder what possessed her to get out of the taxi.

Oak Road playing fields is the opposite direction to the student halls (The Courtyard) where it's believed Libby lives. It doesn't look like it's an area she'd be in accidentally, ie if she was drunk or disorientated and just took a wrong turn. Odd.
If she got up and went in the right direction, and tried to take a short cut she might have ended up in that drainage, slipped and hit her head or something.

What was the weather like, was that area frozen and snow covered? If she overshot her street and then tried to shortcut back...

But it's on the opposite side of the main road that she should have been on (assuming she was heading home to halls), and a good 500 metres off track.

Anyone good at maps (@skibaboo we need you!) that could plot The Welly, the junction of Beresford/Haworth, the halls and the pond they're searching.

If you imagine she's gone upwards on a capital T shape and then should have gone left to one end of the T but the pond is right, at the opposite end.

The pond being searched makes me fear foul play. She was a stone's throw from home and the pond would have been in completely the wrong direction.
