In March 2000, 23-year-old Leah Roberts packed her white Jeep Cherokee, withdrew thousands of dollars, and left North Carolina on a cross-country road trip inspired by Jack Kerouac. Five days after she was last seen in Bellingham, Washington, a couple jogging along a remote logging road near Mount Baker found her Jeep wrecked at the bottom of an embankment. Leah wasn't inside.

There was no blood and no sign of injury. Her belongings were still in the car, including $2,500 in cash and a family heirloom. Blankets had been stuffed into the broken windows, as if someone had used the Jeep for shelter after the crash. Years later, a forensic examination revealed the starter motor had been tampered with, raising the possibility the crash was staged. Witnesses recalled seeing Leah at a Bellingham restaurant shortly before she vanished, possibly speaking with a man whose identity has never been confirmed.

More than two decades later, no arrests have been made and Leah has never been found. Was it foul play in the Washington wilderness, or did Leah walk away from her old life? What really happened to Leah Roberts remains unanswered.

Do you have a theory? Let us know in the comments.
