Where was Leah heading to?
 

On Monday, volunteers with the WNY Missing & Unidentified Persons Network conducted searches throughout East Amherst.

Sarah Hutchins organized groups to walk along the creek and pond off North French Road. She came across a possible clue: barefoot prints and handprints right near the creek.

Rebecca McNamara, who lives in the neighborhood, joined in the search.

The group got some help from Sheila Bugbee, a drone operator. She flew her drone up over the frozen pond.

The flyer doesn’t specify if Leah was barefoot when she left, but if she was, then the handprints and footprints near the creek are an alarming find.
 
 
Sadly, Leah was found deceased today.
