This is what Leah's brother posted on social media in May, just before the Adnan Choudhury harrassment court case: “Was suppose to have court today as I’m attacking Leah’s ex-boyfriend, 27-years-old, married and Muslim who in our opinion groomed and mistreated her he had mk finest in his name, he *advertiser censored**ed with the wrong people.”
'mk finest', IMO could refer to drugs. It's common drugs parlance. It is commonplace for people in the drug world to have multiple phones.
If any of us lost or smashed our phones tonight, police would be able to get from the network provider full retrospective details of every call we had made over a long period of time, and probably every text too. I'm sure they would have done this in Leah's case.
If Leah had a second phone supplied to her (she sounds too sweet and perhaps niave to acquire one herself) this would explain the lack of evidence against anybody she was in a relationship with. It also means she could well have been the girl spotted talking on the phone, texting and crying by three witnesses around Furzton Lake between 9.30am and 11.15am on the day she disappeared - some time after her usual phone had been switched off. This sighting had huge publicity at the time. Despite this, no other young woman has ever come forward to say it was them. Anybody who spent an hour and 45 minutes walking round a freezing cold lake in a clearly upset state of mind would be very unlikely to forget it. Thus IMO this was very likely to have been Leah. Furzton Lake is less than a mile away, a three minute drive, from where she and AC worked.
It was the morning after Valentine's night. Leah had very likely been let down or had an unnsatisfactory time during her mystery assignation the night before. We can assume the person she was meeting was not anybody she felt she could tell her parents about (hence the fib about seeing a friend). Yet she has an older sister and brother; her dad runs a martial arts club. They don't sound the type of people that would be super strict and narrow-minded. Thus IMO we can assume this mystery person was so 'unsuitable' that their identify had to be kept secret.
Any 19-year-old girl would be extremely upset indeed that Valentine's night had not gone well. Perhaps she was too upset to go into work. Perhaps she wanted the mystery person to come out and meet her?
The judge's words in the AC/Haydon Croucher court case were: "The police have fully investigated the person that you suspected. There is, at this stage, nothing to support those suspicions." AT THIS STAGE? A judge chooses his words very carefully. Does that infer there could be something in the future?
Incidentally, the Blue Lagoon lake is four miles away from Furzton Lake. I have no idea why the grey hoodie, if it is indeed Leah's, would end up there.
