Hundreds of uniformed officers and around 50 detectives have been working around the clock to try and find University of Hull student Libby.

Three specialist search advisors have been overseeing the search. Nearly a dozen underwater officers, dog teams and support officers from neighbouring forces are assisting with the search.

“Libby has a big heart. She is always happy and having fun. She laughs a lot. She is a real family person, and loves spending time at home with them [her family].”

New CCTV footage was released by the police on Tuesday.
