Found Deceased TX - Leanne Bearden, 33, Garden Ridge, 17 Jan 2014 #11

[Elainera]

They have been - why would you think there weren't?

Several of the members here live in/near Garden Ridge and they said this type of bird is incredibly common, both when Leanne was missing and before (and presumably after). There's a lot of wildlife there so the birds have plenty to keep them in the area. The Police Chief even mentioned that. So yes, there were plenty of birds in the area and by all accounts the residents are used to them being there and the birds have plenty to keep them alive and well. There's simply no mystery there.

I'm thinking atom meant to question why Leanne wasn't eaten by these birds.

But we don't know if she was or not.

I am still so sad.

Hugs. Me too, Elainera. Me too.

Vultures only eat when standing on the ground.

This is why I love Websleuths.

Victim Friendly.

I had a strong feeling all along that Josh was genuine, and appreciated that the Mod Squad didn't let people lynch him.

As far as I can tell, her family is not disputing the findings. Maybe we shouldn't either. JMO

It is not a "maybe" - it is a "NOT"

The family is not to be sleuthed, disparaged, implicated or bashed. Neither is LE. If you have something factual about LE and can link it, then do so. If not, let it be. If you have something factual disputing the findings of LE, then link it. If you can't link it, you can't discuss it.

If you have questions, pm a mod.

And I do not think we need to know. This is too gruesome to even think about. JMO

Yes, I know... I just avoided using that phrasing in my answer because I find the blunt addressing of it gruesome now that she's been found. The birds are there, she was there, it doesn't matter beyond that... but if that post was a proposal of a conspiracy theory, as if the presence/absence of birds was proof of something other than the official report, my opinion is that there is no mystery to it and it all "adds up" just fine as it stands.

I am still so sad that Leanne is gone.

Tonight, we watched her favorite movie - UP. While we were watching it, it occurred to me that perhaps Josh will someday have a spiritual message from Leanne something like the message Ellie wrote, "Thanks for the adventure - now go have a new one!" We should all want Josh to find peace and a good life in the future.

Also, I believe the balloons on her FB page are symbolic of her love of adventure and UP. JMO

Thank YOU and all the other MODS. You had your hands full, but stuck to the principles of WS as VICTIM FRIENDLY.... the main reason I'm here. Although I do get out of hand from time to time. :facepalm: Sorry.:blushing:

I am still so sad.

Hugs. Me too, Elainera. Me too.

More hugs. Me too. Leanne's death will stay with us for a long time, I think. She's the third missing person-suicide I've followed on WS since August, and she was the most "alive" to me because of the blog and videos. It's very hard. I hope everyone here is doing OK. This case has brought up a lot of painful stuff for some. My heart just breaks for Leanne's whole family.

Sorry, I was stating as an opinion.

Yes, my SIL has helped any way possible and suffice it to say that LE has the correct results and people need to leave Josh Bearden to grieve in peace.

His Aggie family in Colorado will pull together to help get him through but only time can heal the wound of losing his wife.

People, sometimes even in this day and age some things are kept private out of respect for the deceased and those left living. As hard as that is to believe in these modern times when people put all of their business out in the street for all to see (or read).

There are many things that will not be public knowledge in this and many other cases you encounter as you go through life here at websleuths. It does not mean that the Police are/were incompetent, it means that they knew from the beginning this was a possible outcome.

Josh is not/has not been anything but a victim from the beginning and needs to be treated with the respect a grieving widower/widow deserves when their spouse is taken from them whatever the reason.

The points made above cannot be said enough. Thanks.

I wondered if LE had a reason to suspect suicide early on.
Praying for the families.

A new life for Josh won't be so easy. He and Leanne found each other and what a journey they had.

Those will be some huge shoes to fill.

Leanne 's death hit me who never knew her really hard.

Magnitude that a hundred times for her family.

Heartbreaking. Hoping they are surrounded by the love of family and friends as they say goodbye to beautiful Leanne...gone too soon.

If you have done three since August well God Bless You.

I am having a terribly time with this one.

I feel like I have lost somebody dear but there is no comfort to be found like there would be if it was my family or friends.

Family would continue saying "why do you do this". Friends wonder 'why?'

So we grieve with one another. It's very sad.

Do we have the same friends and family?

I arrived in Atlanta, Georgia yesterday to visit my middle son, DIL and precious 20 month old grandson (Atticus). They live near Roswell. My DIL received her masters from Univ of Georgia.

After being here only about 30 minutes, I changed the subject they were talking about and began telling them almost everything I know about Leanne. The whole time I was telling them her story, they both just looked at me (& each other) like: "Mom's crazy!"

My Son said: "You're doing that again?" He heard all about Laci Peterson (when I joined WS) and hasn't heard me talk about a case since then.

(It's not AGAIN, darling son, it's been 10 years of following cases!!!)

Good morning all.

I took a posting break over the weekend and just caught up.

My heart hurts for her family and friends. Like REALLY hurts! I'm sending all the prayers I can to everyone who knew her. I know what they are going through is NOT an easy thing by any means.

I find myself thinking about her even more than I thought I would. I see a beautiful picture online or on TV and I think of her and Josh. I can't imagine what he is going through. His best friend and travel companion is gone. I can see him reliving the past 2 years, trying to figure it out. So sad.

I hope he soon finds strength. I hope he takes the time to truly mourn her. Celebrate her as well, but he needs to take time to mourn.

RIP Leanne, RIP

Thank you. I left this thread because I just did not want to see the endless speculation about Leanne and Josh. I feel like I know them now and I feel very protective of them and their families as they grieve and settle this on their souls. I am praying that people will leave them in peace. How awful to have a loved ones take their own life, But that is magnified when the world is watching. And all the outsiders are looking in... Judging, Speculating..

IT is one thing for us to take up a case and see if there is something we can do to help. Talk about where someone could be but when they are found under such horrible circumstances, There has to be a point when in good form we stop. We let it rest.

Leanne was loved. She was special. She was also suffering greatly apparently and did not share the depth of that with them. I can't imagine that loss.

I hope that people will be mindful when posting. That they will consider these are not characters but people with real lives that have been blown up. That their lives will never ever be the same.

I hope that Josh has support and love around him every minute of every day. I hope that her parents and siblings are all together helping each other through this horrible reality. And I really really hope that people will consider when posting what if it was your loved one, your family, your pain..

Thanks
