Found Deceased UK - Leah Croucher - Emerson Valley - Milton Keynes - #6

I wondered that but they’ve shielded the scene so well, I don’t think this is evidence ‘stuff’ more so bags of their equipment.

zoom in. White evidence bags at the bottom - then something dark coloured, in a plastic bag,with a brown coloured paper bag behind it and a white box on top of it.

zoom in

Yes I’ve done that are you talking about the back or the front officer?

Would evidence be kept separate if it’s the front one? Lots of stuff in one bag although could say it’s in separate bags within 1. The back officer it doesnt look sealed to me?

What do you think?

Grooming applies to children under 16. Leah was an adult, and if she was taken in by someone, she wouldn't be the first female to have been duped <modsnip>

Anyone can be groomed. The term grooming is applied to adults too

In The Sun/Daily Mail it says there is CCTV of the moment LC body found

CCTV? or Body cam? Surely they mean bodycam?

this photo - the bag being held by the crime scene officer - does it contain Leah's back pack?

I could be wrong, but it looks like the van is parked on the entrance between 2 and 4, thus it looks like to me they are walking towards entering the scene and not leaving it.

The front officer. I think it items were found together, separate individual evidence bags would be placed in one big bag?

I thought the opposite

ETA - the black item may be clothing (e.g. jacket if she wasnt wearing it when found).

Police say CCTV exists of the moment LC was found. So this could have been concealed CCTV. If that footage exists it is not a logical stretch to assume footage might also exist from the same camera at previous times…

The police don’t seem to be appealing for much information. I’ve only seen one this week I think. They haven’t stated anything about persons of interest. Perhaps they already know.

That’s makes sense then. Yes I agree then it does look like her backpack.

Im pretty sure those responsible must have had direct access to the property. Surely a break-in would have been noticed by neighbours at some time over the last three years!

They're on the other side of the bushes to the house and appear to me to be walking towards the driveway entrance rather than away from it. Always interesting how people can interpret an image differently!

I hope so!

I think they have come out the front door of 2 around the white truck, down the side of the white police van towards the road - to their evidence van parked the other side of the white police van shown in the picture. They are definately walking away from number 2 (as it is behind them) towards number 4.

They also said when Leah was found that there was “no threat to the public at large” which makes me think they are sure they know who is responsible and are waiting for enough evidence to arrest and charge

It's weird, if you read the same article it mentions the attic as the possible location and also CCTV, who has CCTV in their attic?

I agree. I do not think they would be carrying out anything sensitive in front of the gaze of the press.

I am imagining it was from police body cam.

i recall one article where a neighbour stated that after Leah went missing she added cctv to her property. Does anyone else recall what article that was?

But how was Leah being groomed? Legally, it wasn't sexual and she wasn't classed as vulnerable to be manipulated. Coercive control? Don't see it.

 

[Moirasrosegarden]

Could they have changed it to murder enquiry as a body was found but actually now they have spent more time at the scene have come to conclusion it is suicide? Hence no threat to wider public?
