00:10:40,815 The amount of officers involved was enormous. 167 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,055 It was obvious from the start it was gonna be a long, 168 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,615 drawn-out search to

where she was travelling to. 171 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,975 A CSI could be attached to a licensed search team. 172 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,335 If they find anything, 173 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,695 it will obviously need photographing in situ and recovering. 174 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,455 It's a very structured search, 175 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,135 and if it's there to be

road. 181 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,655 That starts to give us a lot of concern. 182 00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:34,975 We see a male approaching Libby and engage in a conversation 183 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,975 and we need to know who that gentleman is. 184 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,055 Libby and the man turn down a side street. 185 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,815 They are captured again outside a

00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,535 After a short period of time, he then disappeared again 189 00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:05,455 and then a second figure that we believed could have been Libby, 190 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,855 you then saw that figure get into the vehicle 191 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,255 followed by the male into the driver's seat, 192 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,375 and then the vehicle move off. 193 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,815 We-We thought it possibly was Libby, 194 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,535 but it was really important to show Lisa and Russ that 195 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:24,055 to get their views as well. 196 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,015 They obviously know Libby better than anybody. 197 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,175 As soon as I saw it, I knew it was her. 198 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,815 From the way you could see that she put her hand up to touch her hair, 199 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,375 and that's what she did. 200 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,575 That was, you know, good because there was a development, 201 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,655 um, but scary. 202 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,015 It was pure chance, really, being able to get that. 203 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,495 Certainly, if he'd have parked further up the street, 204 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,255 we would have not been aware of him there or his vehicle there. 205 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:01,295 Police recover a watch from near to where the car was parked. 206 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,975 That had actually been found by a lady 207 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,575 and handed in to the police station, 208 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,855 and when we looked at that watch, we were able to show that 209 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,775 to Lisa and Russell, and Lisa was able to say that 210 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,015 that was Libby's watch 211 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,055 and she would have probably been wearing that at the time. 212 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,535 The team continues to track the car. 213 00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:24,495 Through another CCTV trawl, we capture the vehicle 214 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,615 kind of coming back onto Beverley Road 215 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,095 and then down towards Oak Road. 216 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,935 The CCTV officers were then able to follow the vehicle 217 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,175 going onto Oak Road playing field. 218 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,695 That vehicle appeared to stay there 219 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,855 for a period of about eight minutes 220 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,815 before it had then left the area. 221 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,335 So that left us with the question of, "Well, where is Libby?" 222 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:54,935 CCTV officers then had the job of trying to track that vehicle. 223 00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:00,615 There are no further CCTV sightings of Libby. 224 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,135 Obviously, the person in the vehicle was the last person 225 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,055 who'd have seen Libby. 226 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,735 It's really vital that we identify who this person is. 227 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,935 The playing field is secured and a fingertip search begins. 228 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,695 Searching a huge parkland area is a logistical nightmare, 229 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,495 and as a crime scene manager, you have no concept as to 230 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,295 what may or may not be important. 231 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,855 Had Libby dropped anything? 232 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,815 Had the offender dropped anything? Were there any good footprints? 233 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,615 Anything that might lead to the identification as to 234 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,135 where has Libby gone. 235 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,815 Oak Road playing fields is a substantial area. 236 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,415 The back of Oak Road playing field is the start of the River Hull. 237 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,575 Our consideration was, has Libby accidentally fallen into the river 238 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,935 or has Libby gone into the river by another means? 239 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,415 Ancl then, how would we recover Libby from the water? 240 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,975 Police go door-to-door. 241 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,575 One key witness reported being woken up by 242 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,375 the sound of a female screaming. 243 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,295 They looked out of the window 244 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,215 and they saw a dark figure running back along to where the car park is. 245 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:15,335 The man tells police he looked at his watch and it was 12.14. 246 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,455 If Libby was in that car at the time, 247 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,655 is that Libby that is screaming? 248 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,615 It starts taking the investigation into another direction - 249 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,495 that something has happened to Libby, 250 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,375 she has been the victim of a violent act. 251 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,455 The team continues to track the vehicle. 252 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,015 After the vehicle had left Oak Road playing field, 253 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,855 it had then returned into the Newland Avenue area of Hull, 254 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,055 just driving around. 255 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,255 He'd been doing that for the hours 256 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,055 leading up to Libby's disappearance as well. 257 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,655 He'd spent practically all evening and all of the early hours 258 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,375 just driving aimlessly up and down and around and around. 259 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,575 The footage is either too dark or grainy 260 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,015 to get a good look at the number plate. 261 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,375 just over three hours after being seen with Libby, 262 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,215 the man is captured stalking another woman. 263 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,855 The male in the vehicle is seen to get out. He's on foot. 264 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,935 He's masturbating in the street, 265 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,535 so that is creating alarm bells as to his behaviour. 266 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,335 Since Libby's disappearance, 267 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,855 a number of women have come forward with similar concerning reports. 268 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,135 We did get a lot of calls from members of the public in the area 269 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,175 that had been victims of voyeurism-type crimes, 270 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,735 people who'd been followed 271 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,655 or they'd seen somebody in the street exposing themselves. 272 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,415 With Libby disappearing, that seemed to make people 273 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,335 want to report that more in case it was possibly linked. 274 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,455 Some of them were sexual of fences - 275 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,615 voyeurism and outraging public decency. 276 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,935 Others of them were burglaries. 277 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,815 Stealing underwear, sex toys. 278 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,535 When we think of burglary, 279 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,255 we think of it in terms of financial crime. 280 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,735 However, in the criminal histories of sex offenders, 281 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,695 the burglary actually serves a different motivation. 282 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,695 It's to take away very specific objects 283 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,015 for their own personal gratification. 284 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,855 The team need to determine 285 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,975 if the of fences are linked to Libby's disappearance. 286 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,535 We were keeping an open mind. There were some similarities. 287 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,735 It was all in ancl around that student area, 288 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,815 but because the descriptions were of a similar, quite generic... 289 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:04,215 male, white, dark hair, mid-20s... 290 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,935 ...it was too generic to say it was the same person 291 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,695 committing all of the of fences. 292 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,015 We needed something specific to say that we had kind of 293 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,935 somebody who is committing these other of fences in that area. 294 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,655 We had a report from a lady who stated that on Boxing Day 295 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,815 her daughter was walking home into close proximity to where Libby lived 296 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,695 with a friend, and they were being followed by a male. 297 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,975 When they got home, that male kind of came into the porch way 298 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,935 and then masturbated up the front door. 299 00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:37,855 As the Libby investigation was going, 300 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,055 the mother reported that to the police. 301 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,975 Forensic teams went to the address and examined the door 302 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,815 and then semen was recovered from the door. 303 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,495 Some sexual offenders might use what we call a calling card 304 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,015 at the place where they engaged in their sexual offence. 305 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,815 He's left a piece of himself there and I think that would give him 306 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,135 an extra thrill, an extra kind of sexual gratification. 307 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,415 DNA swabs and fingerprints are collected from the crime scenes. 308 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,575 The DNA profile was loaded to the DNA database 309 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,095 and it didn't match anybody, 310 00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:15,455 so from a policing perspective, that's quite frustrating. 311 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,975 It was a serial offender who was getting away with this. 312 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,295 That would spur the police on even further. 313 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,095 They needed to find out who this person was. 314 00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:28,655 Police need to determine if the offender is the man 315 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,215 last seen with Libby. 316 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,615 Through the CCTV, we were able to track it to 317 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,455 where it eventually parked up. 318 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,935 The male had got out of the vehicle and had walked along Newland Avenue 319 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,815 and he'd walked past a location with some really excellent CCTV, 320 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,215 and it was at that point where we'd got a clear image. 321 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,215 We were able to identify an address 322 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,095 that we believed that male to live at. 323 00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:59,975 His name's Pawel Relowicz and he is a Polish man, 324 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,855 moved across with his wife and two young children. 325 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,095 We need to go to that property 326 00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:08,135 and have that person arrested for offence of kidnap, 327 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,855 because at that moment we still didn't know 328 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,015 if Libby was dead or alive. 329 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,335 Police swoop on Pawel's address. 330 00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:14,935 When the arrest teams get there, 331 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,855 you don't know what you're going to find. 332 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:32,135 In Hull, police raid the address of a man last seen on CCTV 333 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,895 with missing student Libby Squire. 334 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,735 The first thing is to look, check if Libby's there. 335 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,335 What surprised the arrest teams was it was just a normal family home. 336 00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:47,095 Toys, normal daily living. 337 00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:51,055 There was nothing in relation to Libby in the home address at all. 338 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,015 Pawel Relowicz is arrested on suspicion of kidnap 339 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,735 and taken into custody. 340 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,015 Nothing out of the ordinary in his appearance at all. 341 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,895 Serious sexual offenders can often appear really, really normal. 342 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,135 There's often this kind of traditional idea that sex offenders 343 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,255 are these old men in dirty macs standing around alleyways, 344 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,575 but in reality, they walk among us. 345 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,895 They keep their sexual deviancy hidden, of course they do. 346 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,095 At the police station, he's booked in. 347 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,695 POLICE OFFICER: 'If you could give me your full name, please.' 348 00:21:29,720 -->

knowing Libby, seeing Libby. 355 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,615 He was softly spoken, almost childlike at times. 356 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,495 You know, he would laugh inappropriately at certain moments 357 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,975 when he was tense or under pressure. 358 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,215 He answered questions politely and so 359 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,415 he wasn't quite what I was expecting. 360 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,215 Police noticed scratches on Relowicz. 361 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,295 POLICE OFFICER: 'Tell me about the mark on your face.' 362 00:22:10,320

worse for wear, 375 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,535 he was being the good Samaritan. 376 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,935 He started saying that 377 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,375 Libby was kind of making sexualised moves towards him 378 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,895 and because he wasn't like that, he ordered her out of the vehicle 379 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,215 and left her near the playing fields. 380 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,295 I remember feeling quite sick. 381 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,335 It means that she hasn't walked off on her own. 382 00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:11,855 It's kind of closed off quite a few avenues of what could have happened. 383 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,935 Relowicz's house is searched 384 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,575 and his car is taken to a forensic garage for analysis. 385 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,975 The vehicle was searched for Libby Squire's DNA and fingerprints. 386 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,135 There was no evidence to put Libby Squire in that vehicle. 387 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,895 Doesn't mean to say there was no evidence there in the first place. 388 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,375 He might have cleaned the vehicle. 389 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,335 Although no traces of Libby, the team makes a disturbing discovery. 390 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,575 In the boot of his vehicle there was a holdall. 391 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,335 Within this holdall were some very strange items. 392 00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:52,295 There were sex toy items, there were items of underwear 393 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,375 and also some masks. 394 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,295 This obviously indicates that this is a very troubled individual. 395 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,615 Officers also find used condoms 396 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,135 and images of women taken without their permission. 397 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:12,495 A term we use in order to understand sexual offending is paraphilia, 398 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,735 and this refers to an intense focus on either an object or an activity 399 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,655 they gain a sexual thrill from. 400 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,975 The hoarding of items like this 401 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,215 is often quite typical of sexual offenders 402 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,775 because it means that they can keep engaging in their objects of lust. 403 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,575 POLICE OFFICER: '|'m going to show you a scenes of crime photograph 404 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,495 'of contents of a pink and blue bag. 405 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,775 'Why are those soiled knickers in your car?' 406 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,975 HE LAUGHS POLICE OFFICER: 'What's funny?' 407 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,055 INTERPRETER AND SUSPECT SPEAK IN POLISH 408 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,695 INTERPRETER: 'Because I am a normal guy and I don't do such things.' 409 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,775 At his home, officers continue the search. 410 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,255 We found a PC computer. 411 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,015 This would have been taken away for analysis 412 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,615 because, obviously, the police officers want to work out 413 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,415 what he's been doing on his PC, who he's been in contact with, 414 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,335 what sites he's been looking at, etc, 415 00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:14,175 and if there's any evidence on the disappearance of Libby Squire. 416 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,775 Some items of women's underwear were hidden inside that computer tower. 417 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,055 These would have been recovered and then be examined for DNA 418 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,655 to see if they can link up to anybody. 419 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,695 None of these items link to the disappearance of Libby, 420 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,215 but the police clearly think he's very suspicious. 421 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,015 Cos he was arrested, 422 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,775 the police were able to take his DNA and fingerprints. 423 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,175 The DNA sample that he provided was loaded onto the DNA database. 424 00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:46,175 We then started getting match results linking to 425 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,575 the previous reported non-contact sexual of fences. 426 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,655 POLICE OFFICER: 'The first alleged offence burglary, dwelling, 427 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,415 'secured on Friday 31st of August 2018.' 428 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,975 They were able to link several different crime scenes 429 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,575 on the DNA evidence. 430 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,415 POLICE OFFICER: 'The next one is voyeurism and exposure. 431 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,575 'The third one was outraging public decency.' 432 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,615 Relowicz is charged with 13 non-contact sexual of fences. 433 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,815 My early advice to the police and to the Crown Prosecution Service 434 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,495 was to not charge him with murder. 435 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,415 Whilst we could prove that Relowicz was the last person 436 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,215 to have seen her, and he was being dishonest about his movements, 437 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,855 we couldn't actually prove at that stage reliably that Libby was dead 438 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,775 or that she had died by his hand in some way. 439 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,775 The longer the investigation went on, 440 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,775 it did become apparent to us that the likelihood was that 441 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,415 she had ended up in the water, that she'd gone into the River Hull. 442 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,615 We had an oceanographer on the case and he had basically said, 443 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,815 "You know, if she's in the river and if she comes back, 444 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,575 "it will be sort of six to eight weeks' time." 445 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,815 You know that the chances of finding Libby safe and well 446 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,175 are diminishing. 447 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,695 In the back of your head, there's always a glimmer you'll find her. 448 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,535 Seven weeks on from Libby going missing, 449 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,015 a fisherman calls the authorities. 450 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,735 We were made aware that a body had been found in the river 451 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,055 and that was being forensically recovered. 452 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,615 Initially, we didn't know who it was. 453 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,615 She said, "Can you talk?" I said, "Yes." 454 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,255 She said, "We think we've found Libby's body." 455 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,855 I felt numb. 456 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,135 The most important thing is to discover who that person is. 457 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,935 So the police would look at kind of 458 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,175 primary and secondary identification markers. 459 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,735 Clothing would be an identification marker. Any possessions. 460 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,535 Main markers would be dental records and also fingerprint identification. 461 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,655 The chances of it being Libby were quite high. 462 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,935 The reason for that was because Libby had been bought a necklace 463 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,415 on her 21st birthday, 464 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,655 which was a gold necklace with a gold "L" pendant 465 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,375 and that was still seen on the body. 466 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:18,135 The woman's clothes also matched what Libby was last seen wearing. 467 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,335 The body is transported to the mortuary. 468 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,575 The police were able to recover fingerprint detail from 469 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,135 the body's hands and they were able to identify that 470 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,375 this was the missing person, Libby Squire. 471 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,895 I felt like everything had ended. 472 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,615 It was horrendous, didn't fall in a heap on the floor, 473 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,775 but I do remember sort of just sinking into the chair 474 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,335 and just feeling nothing. 475 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,375 My worst fears had been realised. 476 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,455 When we got confirmation it was Libby... 477 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,535 ..|'ve never seen the enquiry room... 478 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,175 ...change so much. 479 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,135 There was a lot of sadness, also a lot of, erm... 480 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,335 ...kind of relief in one way that we found her, 481 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,015 we can get her home to her mum and clad. 482 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,175 From looking at the tide times, 483 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,175 if we hadn't have recovered Libby then, 484 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,855 we would never have recovered her, cos the next clay, 485 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,175 she'd have gone out into the North Sea. 486 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,615 Lisa insists on seeing her daughter. 487 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,535 I was desperate to see her. 488 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,535 It was a week after she'd been recovered, 489 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,535 and, yes, she didn't look like Libby used to look, 490 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,735 but she was still my little girl, and... 491 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,055 and it was about being with her and thanking her for coming back 492 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,215 and for telling her she looked beautiful cos, to me, 493 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,535 she looked absolutely gorgeous, 494 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,495 and just sort of saying to her, "You're back home now. 495 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,375 "You're safe, and no-one can hurt you any more," 496 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,575 and, you know, how whilst I've got breath in my body, 497 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,015 I'll fight for her, and, you know, yeah, and being... 498 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,175 and just being in the same space as her. 499 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,295 Now a murder investigation, 500 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,015 police still needed to determine how Libby died. 501 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,135 At the postmortem stage, it was impossible 502 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,455 for the pathologist to ascertain the cause of death, 503 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,975 mainly due to the decomposition. 504 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,575 Marks on the body could have been caused 505 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,695 by the turbulence of the water. 506 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,855 One of the main lines of enquiry was 507 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,295 was Libby dead or alive when she went into the water? 508 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,175 Because her body had been in the water for seven weeks. 509 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,215 Obviously, her body... 510 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,975 The lungs wouldn't give us that information. 511 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,495 The team needs evidence to support their theory 512 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,615 that Libby entered the water at Oak Road playing fields 513 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,255 after Relowicz drove her there. 514 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,335 They call in forensic ecologist Rosie Everett, 515 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,455 a specialist in microfossils. 516 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,215 My involvement with the case was about trying to ascertain 517 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,535 whereabouts she had been put in 518 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,855 and how long she'd been in the water for. 519 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,175 If you look at it under the microscope, 520 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,855 you'll see lots of tiny, little shapes, 521 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,695 circles, triangles, and those are diatoms. 522 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:16,255 Diatoms are microscopic single-celled algae. 523 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,775 They grow in big colonies, 524 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,455 and they grow in different water conditions, 525 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,135 so a freshwater river will have different diatoms 526 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,055 to a more salty estuarine system. 527 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,935 The police were hoping that the diatom evidence 528 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,015 would be able to prove 529 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,655 that Libby's body had been dumped further upstream, 530 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,535 and then the sheer weight of the water and the currents 531 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,415 had pulled her further downstream into the estuary. 532 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,095 Ancl what that means is we have to go out 533 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,735 and take either soil or water samples 534 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,415 from across different locations 535 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,615 where we think Libby came in contact with that water. 536 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,975 As well as working out where Libby died, 537 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,535 the team need further evidence that proves Relowicz is her killer. 538 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,255 Internal swabs are sent for forensic examination. 539 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,775 Normally, anybody who's been the victim of a sexual crime, 540 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,295 we have a seven-day forensic window 541 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,775 just because the body will degrade those cells. 542 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,975 I don't think anybody was expecting it to be 543 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,735 a positive forensic result coming back 544 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,975 after a body being in the river for seven weeks. 545 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,455 Six months on from his arrest, 546 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:38,495 Relowicz pleads guilty to 13 non-contact sexual of fences. 547 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,295 He's sentenced to just under six years. 548 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,975 Often, these are dismissed as trivial sorts of of fences, 549 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,455 but actually, you could see in the victims of his of fences 550 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,775 that the effect on them was far from trivial. 551 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,895 All of the of fences took place in and around the student area of Hull, 552 00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,855 and that was very significant because it was the same area 553 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,055 in which Relowicz had come into contact with Libby Squire. 554 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,695 It was not a one-off incident. 555 00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:11,295 This was regular, persistent conduct. 556 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,975 You could see in the conduct that he was getting bolder. 557 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,655 It was good to know that he was held in custody on other things, 558 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,255 which meant he couldn't go out, he couldn't abscond, you know, 559 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,655 he couldn't go back to his home country, 560 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,855 and he couldn't do it to anybody else. 561 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,935 With Relowicz behind bars, the team focuses 562 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,255 on potential evidence recovered from Libby's remains. 563 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,535 This is one of the first cases that looked at clothing fibres 564 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,655 for diatom analysis, and what we found, 565 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,575 the fibres had absorbed pretty much every diatom ecology 566 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,215 in the entire River Hull, Humber Estuary, North Sea system. 567 00:34:49,240 --> 00:34:53,095 Now even though we couldn't give a direct location, 568 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,935 it did narrow it down to her last sighting. 569 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,615 So we know that it was definitely around the River Hull 570 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,295 that she was put in, which in turn supports 571 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,455 other types of evidence such as the last known sighting on CCTV. 572 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,015 The evidence is consistent with the police's theory 573 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,615 that Libby entered the water at the playing fields. 574 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,415 Having scientific evidence is absolutely crucial. 575 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:24,575 In terms of Libby's body revealing how she'd been killed, 576 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,055 we didn't get an enormous amount of help. 577 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,375 We all thought that we needed to have 578 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,215 some sort of breakthrough evidentially. 579 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,615 Everybody had been told we're gonna have a briefing, 580 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:40,295 so people were thinking, "Has something happened? 581 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,615 "There's clearly some information to be shared." 582 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,815 KELLY ADAMS: After recovering the remains 583 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,335 of 21-year-old Libby Squire from the Humber Estuary, 584 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,855 detectives leading the case have a development. 585 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:08,135 Everybody had been told we're gonna have a briefing. 586 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:13,815 We're told that the DNA recovered from swabs taken from Libby 587 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,535 had identified Pawel Relowicz's semen. 588 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:22,255 After several weeks in the water, it was significant, and, 589 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,415 to be honest, I've never heard of that before, 590 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,495 that length of time, 591 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,415 and it took all of us completely by surprise. 592 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,855 That was a crucial moment in this case. 593 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,455 It was a moment at which we knew 594 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,215 that he was lying about his contact with Libby 595 00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:38,735 because Relowicz claimed 596 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,015 that he had had no sexual contact with Libby Squire at all, 597 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,855 that he had left her alive and well 598 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,295 and that nothing had occurred between them, 599 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,975 and yet there we had his DNA, his semen, 600 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,655 and that blew his account to pieces. 601 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,015 We knew that it was a rape charge if nothing else, and it felt good. 602 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,575 It felt good that, actually, she hadn't... 603 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:05,935 she hadn't died in vain, you know? 604 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,375 She was gonna get some justice. 605 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,695 POLICE OFFICER: You are under arrest for the murder 606 00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:12,375 and rape of Libby Squire... 607 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,815 ...in Hutton Friday the 1st of February 2019. 608 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,015 INTERPRETER SPEAKS IN POLISH 609 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,975 RELOWICZ SPEAKS IN POLISH 610 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,455 INTERPRETER: It's impossible. 611 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,735 RELOWICZ SPEAKS IN POLISH 612 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,375 What I mean is I haven't clone anything. 613 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:40,615 This is 100% sure I would have never killed a human being. 614 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,135 The fact that the offender laughed, 615 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,295 I don't think it's actually necessarily a sign 616 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,495 of somebody not taking it seriously. 617 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,775 I would interpret that as a sign of stress, and, 618 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,015 actually, quite extreme stress, perhaps because he's realised 619 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,095 the amount of evidence that's piling up against him. 620 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,615 Despite the DNA evidence, 621 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,495 Relowicz continues to protest his innocence. 622 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,895 When they went back in to interview with Pawel, 623 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,375 he did confirm that they had sex and instigated by Libby, 624 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,015 and it was consensual. 625 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,775 It was very, very unlikely that Libby, 626 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:21,855 in the condition she was in, the type of person she was morally, 627 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,335 would have had consensual sex with Pawel Relowicz 628 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,015 on Oak Road playing field. 629 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,935 The fact that we've got a member of the public 630 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,255 hearing screams coming from that location, 631 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,015 none of that was supportive that this was a consensual sexual act. 632 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,455 After he had left Libby at the playing fields, 633 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,135 he was seen masturbating in the street. 634 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,455 That was significant. 635 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,495 What it demonstrated was that this was a man 636 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:49,935 who had an insatiable sexual appetite. 637 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,815 Relowicz is charged with rape and murder. 638 00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,375 As the team prepares for trial, Libby is laid to rest. 639 00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:04,575 She grew up and spent lots of time on the hill at West Wycombe, 640 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,255 and the church is on top of the hill, 641 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,695 so it was a really obvious choice, really. 642 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,135 There was about 400 people in the church. 643 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,375 It's a really tiny, little church... 644 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,255 and it was just so lovely to see all those people 645 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,815 that had come out to say goodbye to her. 646 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,455 She'll never die in all of those people's minds. 647 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:25,695 You know, she's always there. 648 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,855 Relowicz, flanked by lots of prison officers, 649 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,815 looked small and insignificant in the clock. 650 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,375 He was a very quiet, softly spoken man, and, 651 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,335 you know, if you didn't know what he'd clone, 652 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,335 you might be persuaded that, you know, he couldn't have done this. 653 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,255 Often, it can be really surprising to find 654 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,255 that it's a very regular person next door 655 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,975 who's engaging in these kind of acts. 656 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,455 What we know from the profiles of people who commit 657 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:07,175 extreme sexual of fences is that very rarely are they... 658 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,455 in the grip of something that they can't control. 659 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,695 Relowicz insists Libby consented, and his defence argues 660 00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:18,055 he wouldn't have had time to kill AND put her body in the river. 661 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:24,215 The CCTV compilation was absolutely crucial, 662 00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:27,535 and the police did a fantastic job in tracking down 663 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,895 every last scrap of CCTV footage. 664 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,095 And we were so fortunate 665 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:37,815 that the CCTV included footage from a neighbour's house 666 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,175 that just caught the narrowest beam of light from his car headlights. 667 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,495 He went back to the playing fields. 668 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,815 We could prove when he got there and when he left, 669 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,015 and that was, in my view, 670 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,975 a particularly devastating piece of evidence. 671 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,135 We will never know, but it certainly extended 672 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,735 the window of his opportunity to do all those things. 673 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,535 The jury retires to consider their verdict. 674 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,895 They were out for about a week, a very long retirement. 675 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,375 This was not a foregone conclusion that there will be a conviction, 676 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,655 so I think everybody felt a massive pressure in the case... 677 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,055 ...and then ultimately comes that moment where you're told 678 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,895 they've reached a verdict. 679 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:25,455 Relowicz is found guilty of Libby's rape and murder. 680 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,015 Relowicz was sentenced to life imprisonment 681 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,895 and ordered to serve a minimum of 27 years. 682 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,495 There was a definite sigh of relief 683 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,215 from everybody within the courtroom. 684 00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:41,215 There was a lot of emotion. 685 00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:43,415 It's kind of that bittersweet, 686 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,775 because, obviously, Libby's lost her life. Erm... 687 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:53,215 I feel... proud that Pawel has been rightly convicted. 688 00:41:53,240 --> 00:41:56,015 He can't hurt anybody again. 689 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,855 She had come back, and she had given the evidence 690 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,135 that nobody ever expected her to give, 691 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:04,415 and she got him behind bars. 692 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,695 In Libby's memory, Lisa is campaigning for more people 693 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:13,215 to report non-contact sexual crimes to the police. 694 00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:17,615 Out of a group of, sort of, 20 of my friends, 695 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,215 each and every one of us has been a victim 696 00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:21,535 of a non-contact sexual offence at some point. 697 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:22,615 Things need to change. 698 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,455 This has been going on for far too long. 699 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,535 I work quite closely with the Met and Thames Valley Police. 700 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,295 I go into schools now, schools, colleges, six forms, 701 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,655 and talk to them about the importance of reporting 702 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,695 any non-contact sexual offence. 703 00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:41,335 Non-contact sexual crimes, such as voyeurism or exposure, 704 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,415 were often taken as trivial, 705 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,695 but actually, what recent research tells us 706 00:42:45,720 --> 00:42:49,055 is that they often form a really important stepping stone 707 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,735 in somebody's sexual criminal career. 708 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,895 The fact that the offender went back out 709 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,335 looking for another victim 710 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,495 only a few hours after he had killed Libby 711 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,535 shows that his sexual offending was increasing, 712 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,575 not only in terms of severity but also in terms of frequency. 713 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,095 If the police don't know anything about it, 714 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,295 they can't do anything about it. 715 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,015 Reporting these non-contact sexual crimes to the police 716 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,255 could prevent someone being attacked by a predator. 717 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,495 She is a really, really strong woman 718 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,455 who has been through a lot, 719 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,735 but she's been able to take the strength from that 720 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,375 and to try and prevent anybody else going through 721 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,135 what Lisa and her family has. 722 00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:44,495 The overwhelming feeling that we got 723 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,935 was that everybody was so sorry that had happened in their home city, 724 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,175 because Libby loved Hull. 725 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,775 It's a really friendly, really lovely city. 726 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,615 Because of her, the streets of Hull were safer. 727 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,535 Yeah, I think she'll be remembered up there for a very long time, 728 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,735 and there was a real feeling of love. 729 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:09,775 I miss her. 730 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,255 She was my funny, caring little pie.
