Most likely guy who brought the ladder, assuming I have the correct number plate there was nothing remarkable about it, it's been active since NMs suicide and throughout COVID so it can't be his or the property owners.

Have the media contradicted themselves with the information about her location function only being turned off once? If so, are you able to provide a link please?
I'm all for letting the police work it out, hence me not commenting much on the MT recently.

Did you check the MOT status online?
Gotta be honest the vehicle looked like it had been stood a while. How did you get a reg number. Was this taken from the scene. I tried to work it out from scene photos but difficult to decipher the last letter

Did you get the whole reg except the last letter?
I believe so yes
Yes
From both, the rust is noted on the last MOT.
Meeting held on either 24th or 29th July 2019.
FLY TIPPING
There was one report of fly tipping in the past month that I am aware of, in Furzton. A double sized
mattress and a car seat was dumped on the corner of Loxbeare Drive and Exebridge. This was reported
to Milton Keynes Council (MKC) and they came out immediately to pick up the items.
It appears it was an actual car seat, very odd but seemingly accounted for.

<modsnip: No MSM to support location was switched off a second time> One thing ive noticed about my mobile location ... its not precise. So being at furzdon lake is where that house is. I might try it tomorrow! Walk past the house and see what my location shows up as. I live on furzdon but yet sometimes my location shows up as bletchley. That's using my network data... maybe it's different if you are using WiFi... I actually don't know all the technical stuff with phones.

Switched off once the night before, and presumably never enabled again. See following post:

That's very possible, although given how close to home she was would it be something she would do, especially given that this was apparently the first time she had done this? I know I panic when I’m low in the house . It is a good point though, I have a feeling unless her phone was with her...

Yeah, I don't really understand the location functions very well. But from what I can tell, there must be a couple of ways to tell the location of a phone. One is the vague triangulation of location, determined by which mobile phone mast your phone has connected to.
But I guess GPS is used by certain apps that can virtually pinpoint your location, eg Google Maps.
So you could turn your location off (GPS) and your apps won't know where you are. But unless you totally deactivate your phone, it will still be connecting to a local mobile phone mast, which the telephone company will then be able to use to give a vague probable location.
Very happy to be corrected on all that though!
Just seen the update from TVP that they have formally identified the human remains as Leah.
"Officers investigating the murder of Leah Croucher in Milton Keynes can today confirm that she has been formally identified.
A Home Office post-mortem, which was conducted last week, has been inconclusive as to the cause of Leah’s death and investigations are continuing.
A murder investigation was launched last week following the discovery of Leah in the loft space of 2 Loxbeare Drive, Furzton, Milton Keynes.
A number of items belonging to Leah were also located at the property.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Superintendent Kevin Brown, the Head of the Major Crime Unit, said: “The thoughts of all of us at Thames Valley Police remain and will always be with Leah’s family and friends.
“The entirety of our investigation keeps them uppermost in our minds, and they continue to be supported by specially trained officers and updated on every development.
“After a difficult process, we are now in a position to formally confirm that the body found in Loxbeare Drive last week is that of Leah.
“The grief and shock of Leah’s family and friends is unimaginable, and they have shown enormous courage, patience and dignity over the last three years and eight months while our search for Leah continued.
“They have always been supportive of Thames Valley Police, both during our extensive missing person investigation and this subsequent investigation into Leah’s murder.
“We ask again, on their behalf, to please respect their privacy at what is such a traumatic and upsetting time for them all.
“Our investigations into Leah’s murder will leave no stone unturned, and we owe it to Leah’s family to ensure we find the truth.
“We are absolutely committed to doing so, to allow them to gain an understanding of what happened to Leah.”

So sad, but not unexpected that a cause of death couldn’t be identified. RIP Leah.
It pretty much, but not conclusively rules out blunt force trauma, stabbing and strangulation and more towards smothering, suffocation, poisoning, slashing of the throat, natural causes i.e. heart attack from trauma etc. Hopefully forensics from the crime scene will reveal something.

The hyoid bone doesn't always fracture during manual or ligature strangulation. If you know what you're doing there's places you can use a knife and not damage bone.

Feel bad for asking- were all parts of her present and whether she was pregnant?
I hope she is able to be released to the family now for some everlasting dignity and love.

There was no mention of either in the TVP's statement.
