Missing Libby Squire: Parents issue emotional plea to daughter | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
The parents of missing Libby Squire have urged their daughter to "get in touch" in an emotional appeal to her. | |
Hundreds of people have been involved in a four-day search to find the 21-year-old, who was last seen in Hull on Thursday. | |
Her mother Lisa Squire said: "Libby, my darling pie, we just want to know that you are safe." | |
Police have ruled out from their inquiry three items found near Beverley Road, where she was last seen. | |
In a video appeal tweeted by Humberside Police, Mrs Squire urged her daughter to "get in touch with us any way you can". | |
"The whole family is missing you, especially me and your dad, your sisters and brother," she said. | |
"I miss you so much, it is breaking my heart not knowing where you are. I love you more." | |
Miss Squire was last seen getting into a taxi outside the Welly Club music venue in Beverley Road at about 23:00 GMT, and is believed to have been dropped off a short while later, close to where she lived in Wellesley Avenue. | Miss Squire was last seen getting into a taxi outside the Welly Club music venue in Beverley Road at about 23:00 GMT, and is believed to have been dropped off a short while later, close to where she lived in Wellesley Avenue. |
She was then helped by another motorist who pulled over after seeing her sitting on a bench in the street. | |
He subsequently made contact with police and "really helped out" with the search, officers said. | |
Miss Squire, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, was last spotted on CCTV in Beverley Road, near the junction with Haworth Street, some 45 minutes later. | |
A screwdriver, hammer and lip gloss were retrieved by forensic officers close to the spot where she was last seen. | |
But Humberside Police said they were not "connected with the inquiry into her disappearance" and "part of another investigation". | |
Appealing to the public earlier, her father Russell Squire said "we just want Libby home". | |
He added: "Libby is our kind, thoughtful, beautiful girl who is loved by so many people. | |
"As you can appreciate this is a very difficult time for us both." | |
Mr Squire thanked "everyone for their help and support" before asking anyone with information to contact the force. | |
Detectives said they were pursuing a number of leads with more than 70 police officers out making inquiries, including knocking door-to-door around the area where she vanished. | |
About 200 students were also involved in a search of the university premises. | |
The family previously said Miss Squire's disappearance was "very out of character" and they were "broken without her". | |
Police are keen to speak to anyone who was on Haworth Street between 23:30 and 00:30 on the night she disappeared. | |
Miss Squire, who is 5ft 7in tall and has long dark brown hair, had been wearing a black leather jacket, black long-sleeved top and a black denim skirt with lace. | Miss Squire, who is 5ft 7in tall and has long dark brown hair, had been wearing a black leather jacket, black long-sleeved top and a black denim skirt with lace. |
