Hello all!

I just learned of this case and the fact Leah has not been found. She apparently was sick and went to the park to end her life. However, she left home at 8:30 PM(could barely drive) and went out on a freezing night to end her life. Husband found her car the following day. Curious to know if anyone has any further info. Not much on the web and oftentimes, it can be foul play by someone close to the victim. She was a Pillsbury and her death would be a good paycheck for someone. Let's keep Leah's name out there and find her.

Leah Pillsbury was 40 when she was last known to have been in Portland, Maine, in early January 2023. Police say she was last seen at about 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 4, 2023, in Portland’s Deering neighborhood and was reported missing by her husband the next morning at around 8:00 a.m. It appeared she had left her home sometime overnight.

By about 9:30 a.m. family members had located her car at Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth, a coastal park with rocky shoreline and walking trails. Portland police were assisted in the ensuing search by Cape Elizabeth police and fire, Maine State Police, Maine Marine Patrol, the Maine Warden Service, and Scarborough police. Teams searched the park, shoreline, and nearby waters, but initial searches did not locate her.

Police later said Leah remained missing and, at that time, did not suspect foul play and believed there was nothing the public could do to help. Land searches were paused while occasional water searches continued as weather allowed. Does anyone have information about Leah’s movements on the night of January 4 or about activity at Two Lights State Park that morning?
