I agree with you in this one Skigh. I think that LE know it won’t make a difference because they do not believe she’s been abducted IMOO.Unless someone has taken Leah with the hope of subsequently 'finding' her,I can not see how offering a reward would change the outcome of this case.
I agree with your 2nd point 100%One of the potential problems I can foresee of turning a reward offer down is that you will never know whether it would make a difference to the outcome of this particular case.
I am sort of hoping that Leah will turn up with some form of amnesia or something. I know it is unlikely but this whole thing is odd).

My thinking has done a 360, I personally no longer get the impression Leah has been abducted, I have started to think this mainly because of the things not being said/ lack of appeals by poignant parties (publicly or online) , as well as comments (looking back) before her disappearance I have read.
My theory is now
A- Run off with BF
B- Depressed and wanted time out to break away from the mundane norm
C- Depressed and wanted to feel special and missed so ran away. (May be too afraid to return due to publicity)
All my own thoughts/ theories only.
I'm curious as to why you're 99% certain Leah is dead, I'm not being cheeky or anything, genuinely wondering what your thinking is.Possible but how would she survive without money? (she took none with her plus debit card not been used) and clothing? (all she had were the clothes on her back)
I hope am wrong but am 99% certain she is dead

Like I said above
Not been on social media
Not used her phone
No cash withdrawals in the months before she disappeared
Not used or replaced her debit card
Didn’t pack any clothing
Wearing her work clothes
Not the signs of someone planning to run away
Add to this that she was not doing anything unusual at all- she was walking where she would have been walking to do her normal routineLike I said above
Not been on social media
Not used her phone
No cash withdrawals in the months before she disappeared
Not used or replaced her debit card
Didn’t pack any clothing
Wearing her work clothes

On the flip side (and I do not believe she ran away), these are exactly the things a runaway would do, to keep people from finding them. Otherwise, they would end up leaving a signature that could be traced. IMO and all that

She could have another phone
She could have been squirelling cash away for months
She could have been taking clothes a bit at a time and hiding them somewhere.
I don't think she has runaway though I must admit, not on her own anyway. If she has then I think it needed input from someone else.
I sadly think she is no longer alive but what had happened to her I have no clue.
Not impossible but I feel it is unlikely
The week she disappeared she had chosen the destination of a family holiday according to her father, and was excited about it (he could be lying of course but why would he)
She took her normal route to work, her parents left early to go to work so if she was planning to run off with someone he could have picked her up at her house but instead she set off along a regular route to work
Imho she had every intention of going to work that day, add in her hatred of letting people down (she missed a family wedding to cover a shift at McDonalds because no one would fill in for her
The realist in me says this will not have a happy ending
I'm genuinely surprised that, given the amount of time passed now, none of her family or friends have stumbled upon her threads on WS and signed up as Insiders to perhaps shed fresh light on the situation or clarify certain details. I suppose maybe they have seen the threads but just chosen not to sign up or reply and just wanted to see what people are saying and thinking about the situation, hopeful that someone on here will be able to offer helpful information etc or just glad that people want to help. I'm in no way suggesting that we as a forum or simply as general public should have access to as much information as possible relating to this case or any other, but the lack of information and news has given us very little to go on to be of any help in finding Leah. I have never seen a missing person receive so little news coverage or have so little information released, especially after 8 weeks. I am devastated for Leah's family and friends and hope every day that they'll find out she's safe and well. And if they do happen upon this forum, I hope it's of comfort to them how many strangers and locals alike are hoping for the best, and wishing we could do more to find Leah and bring her home.
