The mother of a teenage girl who went ‘missing without a trace’ has made an emotional appeal to her daughter who disappeared three months ago.

Leah Croucher, 19, hasn’t been seen since February 15 when she posted one last Snapchat video as she walked to work in Milton Keynes.

Her parents, Claire and John, said they are now ‘not surviving, just existing’ as the hunt for their daughter continues.

Claire said she fears Leah may have run into trouble or done ‘something wrong’ which is why she has not returned home.

In her appeal in The Sun, she said: ‘Whatever it is that has caused you to run away, please let us help or fix it.

‘If it is us, then tell us what we have done and if it is someone else, tell us and we will help you.

‘We just want to hug you.’

The parents spoke out about Leah to mark International Missing Children’s Day.

Leah was last seen by family members at 10pm on Valentine’s day before she left the family home the next morning and never returned.

She was last seen on Buzzacott Lane, Furzton, at about 8.15am wearing a black coat, skinny black jeans and Converse.

The 5ft 2in young woman has been described by Thames Valley Police as being of slim build with below shoulder length brown hair, and sometimes wears glasses.

Three people reported possible sightings that morning near Furzton Lake, triggering a major search, but police didn’t find any trace of her.

Since February 15 her social media accounts and phone have not been activated and there have been no withdrawals from her bank account.

The officer in charge of the search, Chief Inspector Neil Kentish, said: ‘Our officers who are investigating Leah’s disappearance have never dealt with a case like this before.

‘It is extremely rare for someone to go missing without leaving a trace, but this is what has happened to Leah.’

Anyone with any information on missing Leah should contact police on 101 quoting Thames Valley Police reference 4319 004 9929.

Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
