Leah Jean Van Schoick, a 17-year-old girl, was last seen on August 15, 1982, in Plantation, Florida. Originally from New Jersey, her family reported her missing after she stopped contacting them. At the time of her disappearance, Leah was living with a biker in Fort Lauderdale and working at a bar in Hallandale Beach. She was described as having blonde hair, hazel eyes, and notable marks, including a three-inch scar on her outer left thigh and a brown birthmark on the inside of her left knee.
Authorities have long suspected foul play in Leah’s case. The biker she was living with became a person of interest, but despite the suspicions, no one has been charged in connection with her disappearance. Over the years, Leah’s case has remained cold, and various investigative agencies, including the New Jersey State Police and the Broward County Sheriff's Office, continue to seek information.
Leah's case remains unresolved, and her family, as well as organizations like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, continue to hope for new leads. Age-progressed images of Leah have been released to the public in an effort to aid in locating her after decades of being missing. The investigation is still active, and authorities encourage anyone with information to come forward.
