Found Deceased UK - Leah Croucher - Emerson Valley - Milton Keynes - #7

[Thebutlerdiditagain]

I’m surprised by how people are not thinking it is this man and believe there is more to this shocking murder. I’ve walked this route so many times and from the last cctv sighting of Leah to her phone switching off ties in well to her being unfortunately grabbed on her way past the address.
I don’t think the other sightings are correct and again eye witnesses cause more problems than help.
The handyman at the time who had keys to the address where she was later found is a sex offender.
He commits suicide not long after and had also committed another crime in the area.
I think it’s a simple case and people have their conspiracy glasses on and sometimes it is just as simple an explanation as the police will later be telling the public.
Leah walked what should of been a safe route to work but crossed paths with a dangerous individual who went one step further than his previous known crimes.

Leah Croucher: Body identified as missing Milton Keynes teenager

Human remains were found with Ms Croucher's possessions at a house in Milton Keynes last week.

www.bbc.co.uk

A body found in the loft of a house in Milton Keynes has been identified as teenager Leah Croucher, police said.
Thames Valley Police said a post-mortem examination was inconclusive as to the cause of death.

So sad, but not unexpected that a cause of death couldn’t be identified. RIP Leah.

Is it possible that he had kept her hostage up in the loft and he didn’t get back to the house and something has happened to her that way?

The reason I wonder about that is because he hasn’t tried to ‘dispose’ of the body, away from a house he is connected to. It’s like she’s been put up there ‘out of the way’ so to speak?

I don’t think she was held hostage with the intention of returning. I think he has hidden her body there. It worked, it took nearly 4 years to discover her.

Perhaps, but why not say something in his ‘parting’ note about her being there then. If he had decided to end his own life, why hide her there for 2 months? He couldn’t have known that covid was coming along and nobody would be at the property although it has been reported that the owner did visit it at least one time after Feb 2019….

R.I.P. Leah. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

I totally think that Leah was grabbed whilst she was walking to work by this man and killed in that house and put in the loft. I do think it's as straightforward as that and Mr X has nothing to do with it. I was a very secretive teenager myself and kept pretty much everything from my parents including relationships and also don't think it's strange that she told her parents she was doing different things to what she was actually doing or turned off the location on her phone even at 19. I think that is separate to what happened on that day though.

It is possible, but there is more risk keeping a hostage (they may escape). IMO, she died more or less immediately. IMO she put up a struggle and she died in the process of that struggle. I would be interested to know if there is evidence of sexual assault. On my hypothesis above, I think perhaps not.

With the house being empty, perhaps he thought it was the safest option? If he did hide the body between the ceiling and the loft floor, perhaps he thought the body was well hidden. If he moved the body from the property, there is a chance he would be seen.

To be honest if it is true and the owners did return that summer they would definitely have had signs on the ceiling if he had just left LC as a 'hostage: and for whatever reason couldn't return. Without being too graphic, a body which hadn't been wrapped or concealed would have shown signs after a month.Therefore, it has to be said LC was probably killed and left hidden.

This morning there was a drain clearance vehicle being used. Of course it could have been to remove mess created by the investigations.
A few minutes ago a Camera crew was setting up outside the house. Probably to report comments from the post-mortem on the local news channels.

That is what I also believe happened and unfortunately at the time her personal life probably helped the stranger disappear easier. I expect many including myself first thought it was a boyfriend or someone she knew. It just annoys me how these no marks take away young girls with bright futures because they are unable to control their sick urges. The police still look very poor with her being found so close to where she was last seen.

Desperately sad news for her family and friends. RIP Leah

<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

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.

Amongst her possessions... did they recover her phone? If so, there must be information on there. I'm still confused about how a convicted sex offender can be on the run and they didn't think to link leahs disappearance due to his past behaviours. That baffles me...
Surely they have trained dogs to identify bodily fluids of a male in that house. After all, he was a rapist. I need to stop engaging with all of this... its actually extremely soul destroying.
She may of caught covid and died or was already dead before entering that property.

Leah walked what should of been a safe route to work but crossed paths with a dangerous individual who went one step further than his previous known crimes.

Personally I never believed Mr X was involved and it was all hearsay that he was even her boyfriend, maybe why he was exonerated by TVP so quickly.
It is without doubt a horrific time for Leah's family and friends; also do need to mention this has probably recked Mr X's & his familys life too.
I do still find it highly strange that NM managed to grab Leah at that time in the morning on a very busy road (as a previous post stated) that particular junction out of Furzton at that time in the morning backs up with traffic and the amount of people that would of been going about their day who would of been around at the time.
If it had been dark & the evening before I think there would be no question of him being able to grab her unseen by anyone.

I live close to the house and that time in the morning it is busy along loxbeare drive... so maybe she did go further than that house and he was lurking around which is what predators are known to do. Manipulated her back to the house...

You maybe right... I also used to live not far from there and remember well how busy it used to be in the mornings.
