Summary

It’s the day after Valentine’s Day in 2019, and Leah Croucher is walking to work as usual. But the 19-year-old Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England resident never makes it to the office. At first, it looks as though it may be a stranger abduction, but as police investigate, they find that Leah had been displaying out of character behavior in the days and weeks leading up to her disappearance. Could Leah’s secrets have led to her disappearance? Three years after she was last seen, her family, investigators, and internet sleuths are all trying to figure out if Leah walked away on her own, or if she was betrayed by someone close to her.

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Leah Croucher, please call 101 and ask for Thames Valley Police, quoting reference 43190049929. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through their online anonymous form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
