They are person's of interest, not suspects. A suspect is only named by the police once they have been charged with a crime.

Thinking of Leah and her family ahead of her funeral tomorrow. May you finally rest in peace Leah.

Milton Keynes (the home of roundabouts & concrete cows), Buckinghamshire, UK

My thoughts exactly. I never have my location turned on, unless I'm using my phone for navigation.

Rachel Manning, another 19 year old from Milton Keynes, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The problem is when someone goes missing, their life and behaviour is scrutinised. Things that seem slightly out of the ordinary, suddenly become suspicious. If she was having a relationship with a man that her parents and brother did not approve of, it would not be unusual for a teenage girl to...

With regards to the smell of decomposition, there are so many variables to take into account, unless the exact details are know, it's impossible to speculate. The loft area may well have been densely packed with boxes, bags and general items people tend to store in a loft, reducing the airflow...

"Involuntary Manslaughter Where an unlawful killing is done without an intention to kill or to cause grievous bodily harm, the suspect is to be charged with manslaughter not murder. Apart from the absence of the requisite intent, all other elements of the offence are the same as for murder."...

Is it possible he'd carried out work for the owners previously? Possibly a family member or friend recommended him. Or maybe the property owner returned to the UK in Oct/Nov 2018, discovered some maintenance work needed to be done and hired him to do it, before returning abroad.

Most lofts are accessible with a step-ladder and I would think a handy man would carry one for general maintenance, such as painting ceilings etc

Empty property, no signs of break-in or forced entry. Owners are in another country and confirm that NM waa the only person with keys to the property at the time of Leah's disappearance. I should imagine they have forensic evidence as well. He was a convicted criminal, so his DNA profile and...

My partner is a carpenter. He's said that even in winter, if the sun is directly on the roof the temperature within a loft space can become very hot.

My opinion has always been that he was waiting in the lake car park. Unfortunately, it seems that the information she provided to the police at the time was very limited. "The car was possibly a coupe model with a slanted back and it was black and very shiny. I remember thinking what a nice...

Why would TVP refer themselves to the IOPC? NM was never on their radar regarding Leah's case. NM was a sexual predator whose crimes were sexual assaults against women. As far as I'm aware, none of his victims had been abducted or gone missing. Leah was a missing person, there would have been...

Absolutely. From a psychological point of view, people like NM are creatures of habit. Their method tends to remain the same in order to achieve the desired result.

Regarding the confusion over who had keys to the property, this article does state that: Maxwell was a handyman at the property where officers on October 10, 2022, found human remains. He had worked at the home from November 2018 while the owners were overseas. Maxwell was the only one to have...

Correct. In order to search the houses a search warrant would need to be obtained to do so. The police have to have a valid reason or evidence to get a search warrant. When the police make door to door enquires, it's to gain intelligence as to whether someone may have seen Leah in the area or...

This is interesting. I've lived in MK for 46 years and I wasn't aware it was covered in ANRP cameras. I know some of the smaller villages around MK have them, but only thought there were traffic cameras around MK itself.

DBM - Question was already answered

I'm reading far too many posts here and on social media criticizing the police investigation and what more should have been done. Tbh I think it's rude and disrespectful to both Leah's family and those men and women who have worked tirelessly over the last 3 years and 8 months to find out what...
