New show on Leah Roberts disappearance - Page 3 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm pretty stumped on this one. Just watched the Disappeared episode. I don't know if this guy at the restaurant was involved or not, but they didn't have anything on him. Just that he was the last known person to see her alive.

I gotta give props to the sister for nailing which restaurant Leah visited.

Robbery seems unlikely given the huge wad of cash and possesions in the car.

I was pretty amazed she drove from NC to OR in 3 days.

I know they played up the whole soul searching angle quite a bit, but I'm not sure how going to a movie theater fits into that.

I think it is possible the cat may have been picked up as a stray and the person that did so wasn't aware of the significance.

At first I thought she crashed and got out of the car, but injuries eventually took their toll and she succumbed in the woods or nearby. Now I don't know.

Bumping for Leah.

I thought it was interesting that she saw "American Beauty" in the theater. That is a kind of soul searching movie, about a man who questions his entire life and starts changing everything. Just a food for thought.

She made that drive in 3 days. Could she have been sleep deprived and that caused the crash? If that was the case, she would have been seriously injured. I don't see her as just walking away from that one.

She was known to be a very friendly girl who made friends in coffee shops. I think she could have met someone who took advantage of her, and they could have gotten rid of her jeep in this way to make it look like an accident.

It's a truly sad case. I hope her family has answers someday soon.

I was very surprised to see her episode (of Disappeared) started in a coffee shop I've been to a thousand times. She probably went to the bookstore I used to work at right by it.

Its a really sad case... I think its very unlikely that she intentionally vanished to start a new life.

I agree. I do think that she needed some time for self-reflection. It seems as if she had gone through a tremendous amount of turmoil in the last known years of her life.

I'm split 50/50 on suicide vs. tragic accident. I understand the note she left said that she wasn't suicidal, but just the opposite. However, I have known suicidal people who have made the same comments. (Actually, when a person is acting all sorts of irrational and insisting they aren't suicidal is exactly when I start to worry about them.)

The whole thing with her car just throws me. If she perished in an accident, you'd think there would be a body. Or blood. Or something. Yet there is nothing....

I see the similarity, but there is over a decade between the 2 cases
