Leah and Deckard Cain were first seen in town in screenshots of New Tristram from August 2010. Both are standing in a shadow near the very top of the screen in the images; a cropped version is seen to the left, with the levels turned up to make them more visible.
Prior to this official appearance, Leah made a sneak preview in an April Fool's screenshot with the [[Archivist]]. She was not initially recognized in the screenshot, partially since she's facing away from the camera, but her costume corresponds very well to the concept art of Leah seen in the Blizzard Museum at BlizzCon in August, 2009.
A fan realized this and pointed her out in September 2009, and a confirming comparison of the images can be seen to the right. [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/npc-leah-spotted-in-game/]
