19-year old Leah disappeared on her way to work in Milton Keynes in February.

Leah went missing from her home in Quantock Crescent, Emerson Valley on Friday 15th February this year. She had not told her parents where she had been for 75 minutes on Valentine's night.

She was last seen in Buzzacott Lane in Furzton, Milton Keynes just after 8.15am and was walking towards work in the direction of Loxbeare Drive and Chaffron Way.

Leah disappeared the next day on her way to work in Milton Keynes. Her mobile phone and bank account have not been used since.

Three witnesses reported that a female that could possibly have been Leah was seen by Furzton Lake, another lake in the city on 15 February, between 9.30am and 11.15am. She was reported as being "angry, upset and crying".

A search of the lake was carried out but nothing was found.
