Wow

Sometimes these cases are just so hard to solve.

Wondering about the tip - I guess a neighbour might have put 2+2 together?

house unoccupied for so long. on the route etc ...

Hi what tip are you referring to?

Hi what tip are you referring to?

The call police received about the house. I am wondering if a local was wondering about the house over the years, and then when the owner never returned, they finally struck up the conviction to call police.

Like why raise concerns about the house so many years later?

Called in a tip about an empty house, without knowing any other details? If the local/person called in the tip then they had to have known something more and why choose now to tip off police. I wonder what triggered it now.
Very strange/interesting moo imo

I think maybe the term tip is perhaps a little misleading. I was under the impression it was a call to the police from agents who were inside the house who found something suspicious?

That will be estate agents rather than secret agents…

Yes estate agents, as widely reported

I know of 5 houses in the area that were bought by a person from abroad who rents them out. I think they are investments. Easily identied. They are often shuttered up

Does anyone know if Leah passed this home daily for work?

Ah - i didn't see the tip was from estate agents inside the house

I just saw it was a member of the public

I hope that with time they're a little less hard on themselves. It wasn't foolish to cling on to strands of hope, crazier things have happened in the world, and the Police weren't even treating it as a murder inquiry.

[...] the Police weren't even treating it as a murder inquiry.

God knows why they weren't - missing for years, no activity on bank account, phone, etc. Other forces have escalated missing persons cases to murder in similar circumstances.

I think most people thought she had run away with a secret boyfriend and he was paying her expenses.

 

[mrjitty]

Not calling it a murder means you don't 'catch' an unsolved murder on your stats... this was a big theme on the TV series The Wire

I didn’t realise this thread had jumped into suppositions. Although I was more of a lurker on here, I appreciated people’s previous thoughts on Leah as they always thought of her and everything she would have been. It was as much a shock to me as any of us when she was found. Let’s remember her as an innocent person who happened to walk into the path of an animal

It was apparently some handymen or estate agents who found the bag and/or body if I remember correctly.

The whole thing has been a nightmare for them from day one.

The Sun says ’cleaners’, but the DM said ‘member of the public’ - both not the most reliable sources hence the mixed reporting

Leah 'remains' found where paedo lived 3 years after cops knocked on door

I believe initial quotes from law enforcement said "member of the public" - basically a generic term to avoid identifying the witnesses.

I see that article contains the usual nonsense about how police should have searched all houses in the area, as if they have the power to do that.
