Bouncing off of
@Thelastleg here. I believe it isn’t confirmed exactly whether the location services were turned off as it was suggested Leah could’ve been doing something else on her phone.
"So it could have been Leah even though we know her phone has left the network by then. But there are things she still could have been doing on her phone that were not going through the network," says the DCI. Source:
Police reveal hope that Leah Croucher might still be alive on the second anniversary of her disappearance from Milton Keynes
I definitely consider the meeting up theory, and the coincidence being Leah meets somebody at a hotel
2 weeks prior to her disappearance and conceals this to her parents, 2 weeks later her location services go off, also concealing her whereabouts, both the day before she goes missing and the day of disappearance around Furtzon lake area. Eastern and north respectively. Just a thought but is it possible that if say there was a meeting spot, perhaps north end or east of lake or somewhere in between, that security cameras did pick this up but by the time a “mr.x” involvement was brought to surface, we have the same scenario of the cctv from 15th February being recorded over ? This happened 2 weeks before she went missing. Source:
Leah Croucher was having secret romance with 'married' man in Milton Keynes before she vanished, say parents
Note this article being in October 2019. It would be interesting to see if there was any mention of this previously, closer to February when she disappeared to confirm this is something the police actually looked into.
Something worthwhile noting here IMO is this appeal TVP have just released at 5pm here in the UK. Source :
Thames Valley Police
They have released the CCTV footage of Leah on Leigh hill on the day of her disappearance at 8:07, just before she reaches buzzacott lane at 8:16.
Please see attached some still images of this cctv footage.
I personally am convinced I can see Leah using a mobile phone with both hands. I really wanted to hear as many opinions on this as possible because this potentially could be significant. But then again, I would think the police naturally compare cctv to witness statements? Or at least hope so.
Another thing I noticed while quickly scanning the articles released from today is this. DCI Howard mentions that social media and messages between Leah and friends had been scanned and analysed and it seems she was stressed with “work” among other things. The work thing is significant as Mr. X, who I’m only
not naming for the purpose of this thread, is known to be a work colleague of Leah at DFC.

Why was she anxious about going to work that week? She disappeared on the Friday.
Also note how in an article it states Leah had a substantial amount of money in her bank account which has not since she has disappeared been touched, “
enough”
to move out if she wanted
“
You had the money saved to move out if you wanted. Why didn’t you take the money with you? Why didn’t you take any of your stuff with you?”

Is it possible that she had been lead to believe she was going to “move out” or “move away” with somebody, and that somebody is the key to her disappearance? This is conflicting because of the fact she didn’t take any of her belongings and was clearly on her way to work with as it seems all intentions of getting there that day. Thoughts?
I’m racking my brains over where she could’ve possibly gone the night before. There are some really good observations here regarding this and I’m going to go back over and take it all in again lol
But exactly the same as my thinking. Whether she walked or was picked up there was definitely enough time! IMO
