Leanne Bearden's Body Found

I wrote about her previously, "Missing Texas Woman Leanne Bearden May Not Be Missing: 'There is evidence that Leanne may have voluntarily left the area, and we understand this is a strong possibility...'"

And now at CNN, "Body of missing world traveler Leanne Bearden found in Texas."

Also at KENS-5 TV San Antonio, "PHOTOS: Search for Leanne Bearden ends in Garden Ridge," and the San Antonio Express, "Leanne Bearden's body found in Garden Ridge."

Missing Texas Woman Leanne Bearden May Not Be Missing: 'There is evidence that Leanne may have voluntarily left the area, and we understand this is a strong possibility...'

She and her husband travelled the world for two years, and damn, it's not farfetched to suggest she'd say "f-k this" after getting back into the daily humdrum.

I feel terrible for the dude, though. In seeking more adventure, she abandoned him, and that's pretty terrible and selfish.

At CNN, "Family: 'Strong possibility' missing woman meant to leave."

And at London's Daily Mail, "Revealed: Woman who went missing after two-year trip around the world may have run away over stress at returning to 'normal' life in U.S."

And at the family's Facebook page:

The Garden Ridge Police, Comal County Sheriff’s office, the Texas Rangers, and other agencies as well as a private investigator have conducted an extensive investigation including talking with many of Leanne’s family members and friends as well as many other people living in this area. They also examined Leanne’s computer and telephone, including emails, text messages, and phone records and contacts. The pressure of transitioning from her two year trip back into what we consider “normal” life seems to have left her very anxious and stressed. As a result of this investigation there is evidence that Leanne may have voluntarily left the area, and we understand this is a strong possibility.

If Leanne has indeed fled this area, she is extremely vulnerable. She left with only a few assets and is traveling very light. Although she is athletic, she is small in stature. Her mental and physical status is uncertain. We fear for her greatly. We urge anyone who might have any information about Leanne to contact the Garden Ridge Police department at 210-651-6441 or Private Investigator Charles Parker at 210-826-4052.

Please remember Leanne, the Bearden and Hecht families, and all of Leanne’s friends in your thoughts and prayers.
