Ensuring a search for would be given high priority, &/or heightened concerned public interest looking for.<br />I see it done all the time in Amber Alerts, in reference to adults or children. Sometimes vague, others very specific. E.g., "Life or death urgency. suspect is a threat to self & child. Intent to physically harm was indicated." <br />Or in other missing cases: <br />"Person may be in need of medical [care/intervention]" ~ She [requires/ dependent upon] daily medication a/o treatments for a chronic health condition." ~ "May be in a fragile mental state." ~ "Is suffering from [confusion/ depression] ~ "May appear distraught/ violent/ withdrawn.]"<br />Point being, if they were SO concerned about the "stigmas" associated with depression, Evidently only as reflection upon the JB family-- there is much that could have been said, even vague, to suggest & instill some life or death urgency. Easily said without really jeopardizing Leeann's privacy. However, priority should have been finding ASAP, by any means. Not the slim chance of bruising pride.<br />But they didn't. In fact they or *he, made significant effort to engineer an opposing theory. And evoke a consensus that LB just *walked away*, "of her own free will." And as I see it, used very calculated details to trickle out, conjuring up others as he perceived needed, all to spin his false narrative. And while doing so, fed the illusion that Leeann was alive & well, & was choosing not to be found. <br />Based on the tragic outcome, he went well beyond any rationale, to now claim an alternate ending was "expected"??! Like so many other aspects of this case, suspicious words & actions by, only perpetuated outside perception of his involvement in her demise.<br />I don't believe police would advise releasing such inaccurate information. Considering it would have the reverse effect. If believed she left & in hiding, most strangers would want to respect her privacy. Feeling she was escaping from someone/something, warranting. <br />Yet police were so quick to exonerate JB, and Abandon the search, Simultaneously. I honestly thought It was a ploy, to put JB at ease. To then monitor under his radar, & wait for his lead to the body. Granted I neglected small-town LE corruption as a factor!<br />Anyhow I'm still not buying What he's selling!

If statement analysis is a true type of "analysis" then it needs to have rules and consistency. What I see here is someone stating their opinion based on (in some cases factually incorrect) news reports, and then sorting through the words to back up their opinion. <br /><br />There is a functional reason Leanne Bearden took that backpack. There is a huge and very good reason that the family did not immediately share with the public that she may have been depressed, and this decision was made after consultation WITH the police. The request for people to search their property was also a suggestion made by local law enforcement, who asked the family members being interviewed to put out specific information and make a few search-related requests - heck, this information is publicly available and still people overlook it because it doesn't fit their prejudice. <br /><br />It doesn't really matter what you think YOU would do, because if you were missing your wife, desperately worried, afraid her depression might have sent her over the edge but hoping her depression just made her run away to think, and the police sat down with you and told you how to phrase your statement so that in their experience all bases would be covered and the missing person wasn't sent further into shame or fear by having their "possibly suicidal" tag glued to their back, then perhaps you would reconsider your own imagined impulses in the case.<br /><br />There is so much misinformation here there's no way you can draw logical conclusions. Leanne's family was an intimate part of the investigation, along with Josh's. The people who have been posting anonymously here pretending to be 'friends' of the family are not - they are using information that has been published and rumors that have been speculated about, not real information about Leanne or the investigation.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-27332620233402610102014-02-21T15:32:17.142-05:002014-02-21T15:32:17.142-05:00Funny how last night the Justice for Leanne FB pag...Funny how last night the Justice for Leanne FB page did a 180 & the admin made a post to that effect & he posted there during the day, someone commented on another thread here about him bringing his ashes home yesterday and he's just thinking about FB.

I could see it if her intention wasn't to commit suicide when she left the house, but she must have taken the rope with her, which would void that idea, so no clue. It's never been said though that she did take rope with her. Could it be that she left the house not intending to take her life (if that's what happened) and gotten rope from somewhere? Or do we even know she used rope? She could have hung herself with a piece of her clothing or even with the backpack strap, couldn't she? It's just been assumed she planned this & took rope with her. If she did use a piece of clothing or the backpack strap, if she indeed hung herself, I'd be inclined to think it's not what she planned when she left for her walk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-39828261185672596132014-02-18T03:42:16.459-05:002014-02-18T03:42:16.459-05:00I was thinking maybe she took the backpack to have...I was thinking maybe she took the backpack to have something there for when she was found to identify her, but why did she take $60?
