A date has been set for the inquest of Buckinghamshire teenager Leah Croucher nearly five years after her disappearance.

Ms Croucher vanished on February 15, 2019, and police confirmed in October 2022 that human remains found in the loft of a house in Furzton, Milton Keynes, belonged to the 19-year-old.

The force said it had now ‘completed its investigation’ into her death and a file has been submitted to the coroner.

The inquest will take place on June 19-20 at Milton Keynes Coroner’s Court, with a pre-inquest review hearing having already taken place, police said.

In a statement, her family said: “They said: “Today went as expected, and we are happy to have a date for Leah’s inquest.

“There is a lot of information yet to be shared with us and our legal representation.

“We are looking forward to seeing that.

“We have nothing further to say at the moment.”

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: “Thames Valley Police has completed its investigation into the death of Leah Croucher and a file has been submitted to the Coroner for their consideration within the coronial process.

“As these are active coronial proceedings, it is not appropriate for us to comment further on the investigation until the inquest process has been concluded, so as not to prejudice any findings.

“On behalf of Leah’s family, we would ask that their privacy is continued to be respected.”
