I might be back on the fence with suspects. This cctv is of leah on valentines day walking along Rutherford Gate. Could it be a stalker or random stranger attack? someone who lived close by and knew the house stood empty?

seems like too much of a coincidence to me tbh

I wonder if her phone was amongst her belongings. If so can it provide answers having the physical phone? As opposed to relying on the network providing information?

It depends on a number of factors including the operating system and any damage it has sustained either at the time or since. I know some very serious vulnerabilities have been found in iOS since she went missing for example, so assuming the phone is intact and can be given to the right people e.g. NCA or GCHQ, it's potentially possible.

House is owned by a Kuwaiti family according to the Daily Mail. I wonder if after all these years...

Can someone explain as to why Mr.X was never named publicly. If he had a relationship with LC and subsequently she went missing, why is this information not allowed to be made public?

I believe he is named within the Wikipedia article about Leah's disappearance.

Kuwaiti *based*.

If it's the ex-boyfriend, I believe that's a different person.

There is a map on this page of possible routes in the area she went missing: Fourteen minutes and a single square mile of Milton Keynes - that's the crux of the baffling Leah Croucher case

If the phone is there they will be able to get pretty much everything from it, even if it's been deleted/tampered with. The police should have specialists available to them in house who can perform the digital forensics needed.

The ex is named in the articles regarding her brothers court case. I think there was speculation she was potentially seeing someone else though. I’m never sure if Mr X. refers to only one or both of these potential partners.

Shocking to think she was on her route home and they never worked it out.

I suppose they couldn't track her with dogs because she did the route so often?

Leah was on her way to work when she disappeared.

I believe he is named within the Wikipedia article about Leah's disappearance.

He is also named in an article in The Mirror reporting on the incident when her brother was in court for harassing him. His full name is printed in there.

Yeah, you're right, it is I think actually reading the texts the brother sent.

Finally some steps towards understanding what happened! I'm curious to learn more about who was living in the house in Feb 2019.

The Daily Mail article has residents around Loxbeare Drive saying they saw Leah walk past 'every day' yet the Citizen article states she varied her route to be safe and maps the alternatives.

Sensational reporting or did she get complacent and predictable?

Just wanted to take a moment from this fast moving thread to say that after years of us following Leah’s case, I’m sure I’m not alone in sending heartfelt condolences to her lovely family tonight. Not just for Leah, but for Haydon too.
