A woman whose body was found three and half years after she went missing was likely to have been killed by a sex offender who took his own life soon after she disappeared, a police officer told an inquest.
Leah Croucher, 19, who had a black belt in martial arts, was last seen walking to work in February 2019, Milton Keynes coroner’s court was told on Wednesday. Her remains were discovered in the loft of a house in October 2022 in Furzton, Milton Keynes, after a tip-off from a maintenance worker.
