Found Deceased UK - Leah Croucher, 19, Emerson Valley, Milton Keynes, 14 Feb 2019

[Skigh]

A very good summing up of the options.

From everything I have read about Leah she does not appear to be some one who would put her family through the agony of not knowing where she was.

If she went voluntarily would she not take a few favourite personal items.

On the other hand why the lack of information on the MSM ?
If she did go on a car,why would she accept a lift so close to work.
What would make her get into the car of some one she did not know.
I agree with you about the wording on the posters.

My friend and I walked the route from Buzzacott Lane along Loxbeare Drive towards Redwood Gate on Sunday. We timed it from the CCTV camera on Buzzacott where she was seen passing just after 8:15 and we walked for 15 minutes which was approximately when Leah's phone was switched off. We reached the Chaffron Way underpass in 9 minutes and was the first place we came to that afforded some seclusion and possible opportunity to abduct Leah. 15 minutes got us to Faraday. We both thought the Chaffron Way underpass was possibly the least overlooked spot onothe route. The abduction of the girl in Bletchley was as she emerged from an underpass.Milton Keynes Citizen Obituaries and Guestbooks – Legacy.com

Thanks for doing that, did you notice how many other, if any, cameras are in the areas you walked?

Was Leah's route well used by other pedestrians?
Many people would be going to work or school.

Yes we did look for cameras as we went. There are quite a few and we wondered if they had been checked, we were not brave enough to knock and ask. We searched all around the route in the bushes and copses but some of the shrubs were so dense we couldn't do a thorough check. At the Chaffron Way underpass there is a huge pipe that runs under Loxbeare my friend walked all the way through it, it comes out in a wooded area.

I think it was half term, but it looks like these red routes are well used, it was pretty busy on Sunday.

 

[Skigh]

Are there posters up about Leah on this route?
I would have thought police would have used dogs to retrace her movements and requested cctv.

 

[astheworldfallsdown]

I would assume Police have checked for cctv on her known routes, they've been through 1500 hours of cctv. Looks like dogs were used.

Month anniversary appeal to find Leah Croucher

“Our ongoing investigation has been extensive; we have brought in resources and expertise from across the force and external organisations, including the Major Crime Unit, Family Liaison Officers, specialist search teams, the mounted section, police dogs, the marine unit, and the National Police Air Service.''

 

[Skigh]

I do not think she has voluntarily gone missing.
I can not make up my mind about whether she has been taken by some one she knew ,even just by sight, or some one totally unknown to her.

Yes loads of posters up on this route.

There was the abduction of the 14 year old last year by a man in a van, and attempted abduction of a 11 year old in 2016 (assume it is not the same victim, just older) in MSM. I suspect the abductor was the same from the very little info online. I also think it could well be the person responsible for Leah (and therefore probably a stranger) wonder if there were any vans around. I don’t want to put specific descriptions of the individual in my post in case it gets mistakenly interpreted as fact in this case.

It also occurs to me that the police most likely have ruled out the father from the start. Although statistically likely in general, he certainly came across as genuinely bewildered to me - and probably painfully aware that he would need to be ruled out- and I think he is nothing to do with the disappearance itself. If the police thought he had any involvement then I reckon they would have wheeled him out in front of the tabloids.

I don’t know if I have breached tos with this post so perhaps it will disappear.

Was the individual in the other cases identified?

Are the cases on MSM? You can link to them if they are.

The police always look like to eliminate family and
people close to the missing person first.

They would also look for links to any other cases and check out known sex offenders.

Someone earlier in the thread (who I think was local) said it was just before half term.

The latest on the kidnap incidents in Milton Keynes

I think it's this. I saw some comments on SM about an abandoned van in the area. But nothing on MSM.

 

[Alias Gray]

I doubt someone could have abducted Leah by approaching her. I think it would have been from behind.

 

[Skigh]

I agree .
I do not think this is connected to the other attempted abductions.

Yes, it was the week before.
