⚠️Warning: Some viewers may find the content of this video distressing.

In 2019, Lisa Squire received a call that so many parents fear - her 21-year-old student daughter Libby was missing. Her disappearance sparked the largest manhunt in Humberside Police history.

24-year-old Pawel Relowicz was convicted for her rape and murder and is currently serving a life sentence with a minimum of 27 years in prison. It was found that in the months leading up to Libby’s murder Relowicz had committed a series of low level sex offences.

Libby’s mum, Lisa Squire, joined Jessica Creighton on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour to share why she wants to meet her daughter’s killer, as well as her campaign for earlier intervention in low-level sex crimes.

Libby’s story is featured in a new Sky documentary called ‘Libby, Are You Home Yet?’

You can listen to Lisa’s interview on BBC Sounds - it’s the episode from 25 October.
