Just nine months after the 19-year-old disappeared, her brother was found hanged in his apartment
The traces of the 19-year-old Leah Croucher went missing on the morning of February 15, 2019 as she left for work. But she never arrived and her parents, Claire and John, reported her missing.
Investigations into Leah’s fate continued, while yesterday evening, the authorities located skeleton which is believed to belong to the 19-year-old as the backpack with her personal belongings, which she was carrying before she disappeared, was also found next to it. However, forensic investigations are continuing in order to establish whether it is the missing person.
Also to identify the culprit, the investigations turn towards one pedophile who had been convicted of assaulting two teenagers and who appears to have lived at the house in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, in whose garden the bones were found.
As reported in an extensive report by the Daily Mail, the police are thoroughly searching the £490,000 detached house which is located in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire and is about half a kilometer from the girl’s home. The attacker’s parents, however, told the Times that they had moved before Leah’s disappearance and had not seen their son “for years”.
In the meantime, the neighbors also claimed that the single-family house had been vacant since 2019.
It was also revealed that the young woman regularly passed by the house on her way to work. According to sources cited by the British newspaper, much of the forensic work has focused on one of the ceilings of the house as well as the abandoned van located outside the detached house.
The convicted pedophile’s parents told The Times the family had moved before Leah went missing. His mother also told the newspaper that they had not seen the convicted sex offender “for years”.
Tragic irony
Just nine months after the 19-year-old disappeared, her brother was found hanging at his flat in Bletchley, Milton Keynes. He was rushed to hospital where he died two days later.
