Leah Irene Harding, 31, vanished from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in the spring of 2015. She was last seen on April 30, 2015, at a BP station in Baraga; she lived in South Range and had strong ties to Nisula and L’Anse. Family members say she stopped all contact after that day and her disappearance was not reported for about two weeks when she failed to attend a school event for her young daughter.

The last person known to see Leah was her boyfriend, Camiel Van Haecke, who told investigators he dropped her off at her mother’s home after an argument; Leah’s mother disputes that account. Van Haecke was identified as a person of interest but has not been charged in this case and was later jailed on unrelated burglary charges. Leah’s phone was found near the North Otter River with battery and SIM removed, her bank accounts were untouched, and no confirmed sightings followed. Foul play is suspected and the Houghton County Sheriff’s Office lists the case as open; a court declared Leah presumed deceased on July 12, 2023.

If anyone knew Leah’s routines, her movements around Baraga on April 30, 2015, or saw her that day, what information can be shared with investigators?
