Wow, the comments to this article are very disheartening to say the least. Although the Chief said the case is close, some information should be provided to hush all the speculation. JMO

The news of the discovery of her body has shaken those who knew her.

“Shocking, devastating… it’s like being knocked breathless,” said Bearden’s friend Chris Busch. “We’ve put so much work and effort in trying to find her. This was obviously not the outcome that we wanted.”

Busch helped in numerous searches for Bearden.

“It could be like trying to find a quarter on the moon because it was just so hard to see into those trees,” said Busch.

I've been on WS too long and learned to NOT read comments under articles posted here. Nameless/clueless/trolls reside there, IMO. I never, ever go "there".

The Chief will do what is right and per the laws of the state of Texas, IMO.

Chris has been an unbelievable friend to JB/LB.

I first knew about this case:

I passed along the info I knew through a PM to a local. My good friend (Texas A&M grad) already knew about LB being missing and referred me to a MB for the Aggies ... that was Chris (I found that out later). Small world we live in. Sooooooo very sorry this end the way it did. :tears:

Yes, he has been a great friend and yes, it is a very small world. I personally know Josh's sister and she is an absolutely lovely person. One of the best people you could ever meet.

This ending is unimaginably tragic.

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 webslueths.
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.

Garden RIDGE. Not HER back yard ... let's start there!

I believe the autopsy (from another county in Texas) did the autopsy and the Crime Scene Investigators provided more info to help with the COD and MOD to come to THAT conclusion. It wasn't some random result. JMO

Here's a link:

Comal County Justice of the Peace Susan Stacy, who ordered the autopsy, <snip>
from Central Texas Autopsy in Lockhart.

For others, Lockhart is a city in Caldwell County, TX, about 50 miles north of Garden Ridge. http://goo.gl/maps/Ye3n7

If anyone is hanged by a tree in Garden Grove then its automatically considered "suicide" Let me get this straight She travels the world and nothing bad happens, but she ventures out into the woods in her back yard and she is dead.

I don't think a tree can hang a person unless it's a Womping Willow (Harry Potter reference)

For reasons only Leanne can understand, she didn't want to go on with life. She seemed to have done everything on her bucket list while travelling the world, so perhaps that left her with nothing else to keep her going....I don't know. I am still having a hard time grasping the outcome of this like so many others.

At this time, the cause of death is reported by LE and MSM as suicide. Since it is not homicide, do not go there. If it is clarified or amended by LE or MSM, they it can be discussed but not before or until.

Thanks. Some days it seemed to me that social media comments from who knows were always intently analyzed and MSM article contents from verified source quotes not so much. But then I figured, nah. I'm wrong again.

Thanks for the tip on how to help wade through the misinfo.

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

Randy Smith, a San Antonio-based biologist with the Texas Wildlife Services Program, said complaints about buzzards have soared. So since this area in San Antonio is considered to a nature preserve area if she was truly left there for (3) weeks then why hasn't the black vultures been in the area? Something is not adding up

I don't believe SA Texas area is a nature preserve, but I do know that their vultures/buzzards do not migrate in S. Texas, like they do in my area (much colder area of the US). They are protected because they migrate.

Vultures/buzzards .... eat their carrion on the ground (horizontally). Now maybe we should ask ole Randy about vultures/buzzards eating something upright (vertically) and not on the ground?

if you read some comments on the internet, and this is not directed at anyone, certainly not anyone on this site, or this thread, and is completely just my opinion, which i am hopefully still entitled to - its almost like some people want or need this to be a murder.

They suffer from:

Schadenfreude (/&#712;&#643;&#593;&#720;d&#601;nfr&#596;&#618;d&#601;/; German: [&#712;&#643;a&#720;d&#601;n&#716;f&#641;&#596;&#655;d&#601;] ( listen)) is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.[1] This word is a loanword from German. The literal English translation is 'Harm-Joy'. It is the feeling of joy or pleasure when one sees another fail or suffer misfortune. It is also borrowed by some other languages. jmo

^^^ this was the same race that was on the OFLHB FB page. They've now gone to the above FB to HONOR Leanne's memory and not a fundraiser as planned before her death.

Michael (Mike) and Jo Hecht (LB parents are posting there). My heart is breaking for them and her siblings and for JOSH and his family. :tears:

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 am still so sad.
