    Police and probation services have admitted failings and “lost opportunities” in the Leah Croucher case, a pre-inquest review has heard.

    Ms Croucher, 19, disappeared while walking to work on February 15 2019 and no trace of her was found for more than three years despite a large search operation.

    The teenager’s body was discovered at a house in less than half-a-mile from where she was last seen after a tip-off from a member of the public.
