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

[Plod]

I thought they mentioned the holiday to show she had things to look forward to. I just get the feeling the family are trying to make things seem a lot more calm and happy than they are.

I noticed the other day that her brother wasn't her fb friend anymore is that a recent thing?

A message to her though - family holiday will be great - please come home?

For anyone interested in the stats connected to missing people, below is a link to the Glasgow university research project on "geographies of missing people"
It is a truly fascinating piece of work for fellow obsessives or even those with just a healthy interest in this kind of thing!

The link is for the pdf download version of the studies published findings

Yes it’s within the last 5 days I think, he continues to share the articles relating to her disappearance so could be nothing

Nope, it's from day dot. They have not been FB friends since the day the news broke. I checked.

Do you remember her friend list number, I'm almost sure it was 375 but I could be mistaken.

Just retracing some of the press reports from the past 3 weeks, one or two things that i would need answers to IF i were investigating this...

1 - in the very first press release on behalf of Leah's parents i found the following portion rather odd - especially in light of the idyllic home picture portrayed by her family:

“Leah if you are able to see or hear this please, please get in touch or better still come home. It doesn’t have to be mum or dad you contact. You can call, text, email, Facebook or Snap Chat anyone you feel comfortable with. Just show us you are safe".

My question is...
Why would it NOT be mum or dad?

2 - What exactly caused the missing person report to be made? (Seems to have been made at a time when Leah had been following her normal routine that very same morning)

* At 19 years old it was not unusual for me to not see my parents for 2-3 weeks and at no time did anyone see any need to report me as a missing person

I have several more anomalies that baffle me here.....the more i look the more convinced i am that there may be more to this than is publicly known.

I thought work phoned up her house to find out why she was not at work, and one of her parents answered, then when she never returned home that night she was reported missing

No I don't. It was such early days I thought she'd turn up, but I'd seen his post first and tried to find Leah's profile through that, and couldn't.

That would explain it......just had not seen that.

On the subject of her friends list. To me that seems like quite a low number of fb friends for a girl that age - compared to most I know - and considering she is a competitive fighter I would of though she would possibly have more contacts and acquaintances if anything due to meeting people through her sport.

So this say to me that she obviously kept her circle small and I think it's unlikely that she would be talking to someone she didn't know online. She seems too sensible.

 

[HongKongPhooey]

I have 't seen it reported anywhere that her work phoned her home myself.

Nope, it's from day dot. They have not been FB friends since the day the news broke. I checked.

But that was how I found her brother through her profile, on my local residents Facebook page someone had posted a picture of a unofficial leaflet they received regarding Leah someone said they would notify her brother, which is when I looked at her profile.....

Hmm, strange. They def weren't friends on 22nd as I had a conversation with someone on here about it, during which I said I'd noticed it a couple of days prior.

I thought I'd found her brother's page through Leah's. I'm not great with FB though so I could be mistaken.

 

[bringmeacupoft]

Just checked the date of the post and it was the 2nd March so definitely a difference in dates. Ah well I can’t see it being important if I have been mistaken.

Upon reviewing the post of the ‘hoax’ leaflet post, other people have commented that they are making their way to other areas. I’m a good 5 miles from where she was last seen too. I do think it’s a red herring but odd none the less.....I don’t know if I can share a picture of the leaflet here?

 

[wtiger]

Was this tweet from Thames valley police an inadvertent clue as to how they saw Leah's case??

TVP Milton Keynes on Twitter

"And olivia left of her own accord"

Do we know that Leah did not?

 

[Atoz]

Leah hasn't been fb friends with her brother since I started following. Not unless they became friends after she went missing.

Possibly as I said, IMHO a family row the night before - she may have gone off cos of that - but added in that she’s gone off with some undesirable.

Maybe cos they couldn’t get her on her mobile, after work said she did not turn up, they thought it best to inform the police.

Just wanted to point out that her friend count could go down if someone deactivated or deleted their Facebook. Doesn't necessarily mean that someone deleted her or someone is using her account.

This has not been stated anywhere in MSM as far as I know, do you remember where you saw it?
