Found Deceased UK - Leah Croucher, 19, Emerson Valley, Milton Keynes, 14 Feb 2019 #3

Thinking about all the family tonight, a heartbreakingly tragic year for them.

 

[Jenesaisquoi]

May peace be with Leah and Haydon’s family and friends this Christmastime.

 

[Amonet]

I've also been thinking about the family of Leah and Haydon over the Christmas period

I hope the New Year will bring the answers they need, and see Leah reunited with her family in whatever way that can happen.

 

[Jenesaisquoi]

Leah and family in our thoughts on New Year’s Eve. Such a sad FB post from John on the pain of the year and the torture of not knowing. We wish you strength and peace for the coming year. We hope someone has the courage to bring Leah home.

 

[Kaykedi]

Thinking of you Leah. I hope this is the year that you come home to your family

 

[astheworldfallsdown]

Thinking of Leah and Haydon and their families. How utterly heartbreaking they have to enter another year without the answers they deserve. I hope they have them soon.

The longer this goes on, the more I think that X has had help from the next generation up from him, parents or uncles/aunts.

X being a married man referred to in MSM article. X must not be named here - his identity was not mentioned in the media, although I am aware that some sleuthers may have suspicions and in regards to my theory, it is irrelevant to me who he is. It is only my opinion that he is responsible for Leah’s disappearance- this has not been suggested by LE. Originally I was thinking sibling or friend possibly helped him deal with a ‘problem’. However, the disappearance has gone on too long, X has been too quiet, Leah has been too well-hidden. Without older next-of-kin being involved in either the actual disappearance or the continued disappearance, I don’t think it could have lasted so long and especially in the circumstances of a Haydon’s death. It has been reported that Leah may have felt attracted to a bad boy type, and she was apparently involved with X for a while so she must have felt some kind of connection so not a serial killer type, for example. He must have liked her enough to continue meeting with her - stringing her along, I mean. I think he has been told to deny the relationship and distance himself from her because it seems to me the natural, twisted thing for him to do would be at least to publicly declare his sympathy.)

'It's time to tell your secret' say parents of missing Milton Keynes woman Leah Croucher
The parents of missing Milton Keynes woman Leah Croucher are begging people who may be withholding vital information about their daughter to come clean in the New Year and end the family's torment.

They firmly believe somebody is harbouring a massive secret about what caused the 19-year-old martial arts expert to vanish without trace during her walk to work 11 long months ago.

John Croucher with Haydon and Leah

They are convinced their daughter would not disappear voluntary and cut off her family. And this belief was compounded in November when Leah, who would now be 20, failed to turn up to the funeral of her of beloved brother Haydon.


Haydon, 24, took his own life because he could not cope with the anguish of not knowing where his sister was.


Their dad, Taekwondo instructor John Croucher said: "He didn't want to face another day of not knowing Leah's fate."

He admits he not only understood his son's state of mind, but he was "jealous of him, almost" for having an end to the agony.

"He added: "Time is not making our pain easier to bear. Watching our oldest and now only child suffer. Thinking of how we will now not have weddings to attend or grandchildren to babysit and enjoy. Christmas has gone. It was bleak. Desolate. Lonely. Quiet. No decorations. No presents. No special dinner. Just billboards courtesy of Missing People displaying photos of our missing daughter around the town of MK."

It does seem to be the most obvious line of conclusion

I hear them. Someone help this family's pain please.

MK Citizen is also running this article on their FB page. Comments suggest local feeling is still running v high.

 

[Jules77]

Does anyone here feel that X,s partner could be involved in this and that X knows nothing?

 

[Cherwell]

Does anyone here feel that X,s partner could be involved in this and that X knows nothing?

Unlikely, IMO.

 

[Jenesaisquoi]

No, if X had not been involved he would have no reason to not uncover the truth and I would therefore expect Leah to have been found and partner to have been arrested.

I think X’s mother is more likely (in a theoretical manner, without having ever met her).

Do we know if Leah ever met any of X’s family?

 

[Officer Dibble]

I'd not considered that before. You have a point.

 

[Jenesaisquoi]

Where’s Leah, X?

 

[Jenesaisquoi]

Even when I am not posting I am thinking a lot about Leah.

Some of the facts from early on are a little fuzzy now. Do we know if Leah was seeing X before she joined her new job?

I was reading a bit about Claudia’s Law, which I think came into effect at the end of July last year. I am wondering if any of that would make a difference to what may be available to Leah’s parents as they manage her affairs while she is missing.

For example, in previous jobs I have had a death-in-service benefit (bear with me, not suggesting anything sinister here), which as far as I am aware was standard for everyone in the organisation. I had to fill in paperwork to nominate recipient/s. I probably nominated my son, maybe I would have nominated siblings (on the basis that they may have had my son and I can’t remember if recipients had to be 18).

If Leah were pregnant/knew she were pregnant around the time the paperwork landed in front of her, I wonder if that would have influenced who she put as recipient/s. I wonder if she put X down as next of kin for example if she wasn’t aware that he was not as committed to her as she may have been to him.

I hope there is news of Leah soon. Horrible to think that we are not so far away from her first anniversary of being missing.

 

[Jenesaisquoi]

Can someone please link in today’s MK Citizen’s article. Turns out we watched Leah’s police team on TV earlier this week on another case. I feel very cheered by that today, a very diligent team with lots of experience of complicated, messed-up criminals. If you haven’t already told the police any snippets/ gossip you know, please tell them now. If you are in any way involved in the disappearance, now would be a good time to speak to the police. Before they find you.
