This CCTV clip is believed to be the last sighting of missing university student Libby Squire, showing her climbing into the passenger side of a car and being driven away by a man.
Police have been examining the CCTV footage, taken on Haworth Street, Hull just after midnight last Friday, which shows the male driver rolling a cigarette before helping a passenger, thought to be Libby, get into the car.
The man then walks around to the driver’s side, gets in and pulls away just minutes before Libby, 21, was previously last seen.
A cyclist and another vehicle are seen minutes before the driver leaves, and may provide crucial witness testimony.
The grainy video, shared by ITV News, is now being examined by police.
The time on the CCTV footage is believed to be a minute slow.
A second video, taken minutes later and revealed by the Sun, shows a similar car being driven half a mile away.
Humberside Police’s Detective Superintendent Matt Hutchinson told ITV News: ‘There have been 100s of hours of CCTV footage viewed as part of our investigation into the disappearance of Libby Squire.

‘There are various lines of enquiry we have investigated and are following up in connection to CCTV footage.
‘While we currently have a man in custody and proceedings are active, we are unable to provide any further comment in regards to the nature of any footage so not to prejudice any potential further proceedings.
‘Our priority remains to find Libby and support her family during this incredibly distressing time. We continue to keep an open mind and would ask anyone who believes they have information that could assist with the investigation to please make contact with police.’
In Hull, officers stopped the public entering a large area of Oak Road playing fields surrounding a pond with a helicopter hovering above as they searched drains and bins. It is half a mile from Libby’s home.
Detectives said the force has received hundreds of calls since the 21-year-old University of Hull student (left and right) was reported missing in the early hours of Friday
One woman said she heard ‘dark and eerie’ screams from near the park on the night she disappeared and saw a man running away, according to the Mirror.
Teams were also scouring a stretch of riverbank and a series of abandoned buildings – but officers turned walkers away and refused to say why they were back in an area they have already checked in the seven days since she vanished.
A forensics officer was also seen bagging up evidence and photographing an area of pathway leading into the cordoned-off zone.
As part of their ongoing investigation, police arrested a 24-year-old man yesterday, thought he is not thought to be the man in the CCTV footage.

Detectives have sealed off his rented house, took away his computers and towed away his silver Vauxhall Astra after they arrested him on Wednesday night on suspicion of abducting her a week ago in Hull.
His terraced home is half a mile from the bench where Miss Squire was last seen sitting in a drunken state shortly before midnight last Thursday.
MailOnline visited Rełowicz’ mother Marzena in Poland today who said she understood her son was driving through the area where the philosophy student was last seen and had offered a lift to a girl he saw sobbing on the street.
She said: ‘My son is no killer. Paulina [Pawel’s sister] told me that he was driving home and saw a girl crying. Paulina told me he had given her a lift as she wanted to go home.
‘I know in my heart that Pawel did not do anything to this girl. My heart is breaking over this and I feel so sad for the girl’s parents and what they are going through. I can’t imagine their pain. If I could go to England I would and would kneel before them and pray that she is found.’
