Thank you to Randy's parents, Harold and Alberta Leach, for their support in bringing us into their family to help find Randy here in Linwood, KS to help bring him home.
Special thanks to Larry and Betty Wilson, along with their daughter Elizebeth. Thank you!
In this episode of Adventures with Purpose, we travel to Linwood, KS from Oregon in search of Randy Leach who has been missing for 32-years.
Missing Since: 04/15/1988
Missing From: Linwood, Kansas
Classification Non-Family Abduction
Sex: Male
Race: White
Date of Birth: 07/25/1970 (50)
Age: 17 years old
Height and Weight: 6'3, 220 pounds
Clothing/Jewelry Description: A blue pocket t-shirt, blue Levi's jeans, white low-cut sneakers and white socks.
Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian male. Brown hair, blue eyes. Randy has a mole on his left ear.
On April 16, 1988, Harold and Alberta Leach of Linwood, Kansas reported the disappearance of their son, Randy Wayne Leach, to the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Department.
Subsequent investigation determined that Leach was last seen in the early morning hours of April 16, 1988, at a high school pre-graduation party given by a classmate in rural Leavenworth County, Kansas.
Leach had driven to the party in his mother's gray 1985 Dodge 600 4-door sedan.
During the course of the investigation, no one was located who saw Leach or his vehicle leave the party.
To date, neither Leach nor his vehicle has been located.
The investigation to date has produced sufficient information to believe that Leach has been the victim of foul play in this missing person case.
The deeper we got into this investigation, the stranger it became.
Was Randy part of a sacrifice?
Was he taken out for witnessing a drug shipment gone wrong?
Did he end up in the trunk of his mother's car and driven across state lines to be disposed of in a car shredder?
Is there a police cover-up in this small rural community?
While we feel there are people who know what happened to Randy, there also is a reason they have not come forward.
Even though Harold and Alberta would like to find out who is responsible for Randy's disappearance, the only thing they want more is to find Randy.
Larry and Betty have set up a FB Page in Search of Randy Leach.

Gut feeling is Kim Erwin knows a whole lot about what happened that night. If she has any ex-boyfriends or ex-husbands who can be tracked down, it'd be worth talking to them in my humble opinion. Same goes for her mother. With the passage of time, loyalties and values change. Love and prayers for Randy, LeAnn and the Leach family.
I was a television and news reporter years ago and am very critical of current day news reporters. You Jared are one of the best interviewers I have seen in years. Professionals could learn a lot by watching you. Thank you and Sam for all that you do for all the people you have helped. And Leanne is such an intelligent, acute, insightful person. She has nothing to feel guilty about. I'm sure she is still wary and cautious in her life. Murderers and drug-dealers might not like attention called to their past dirty deeds. My heart and prayers are with you Leanne. My deepest sympathy to Alberta and the family. So sorry Harold didn't get any answers about his son before he passed.
God Bless You LeAnn
Don't alienate your kids while they're growing up. I love hearing that Randy had a bond he could go to his parents about anything. Unconditional love
Yeah sometimes you are born into Sociopaths and Narcissists that rarely care more than of themselves. I often wonder how different my life might have been had I not. We don't always get what we want in life. Its just a sad fact of it.
Good advice
To me Leann is such a hero, she has kept the facts fresh in her mind, and I am sure she has been a comfort to Randy's family by also trying to keep his story out there. You are one courageous woman, and I applaud your big heart!!!
@Donnita Coble what makes you say that?
Or she has her story so well scripted like an actress she can resite it word For word, I'm not saying she has anything to do with it, and I think she really did care and still does but there is just something....
@@cornishpixie6918 got that feeling she knows more than she telling.. maybe wanting a certain person to come out and confess…
God bless you Leanne✡️♥️✝️🙏
Why did she lock him in the car?
Makes zero sense.
When my dad was 18, his girlfriend, her sister, and her sister‘s boyfriend all went over the side of a bridge in (Late 80s maybe early 90s.). they had stopped at my dads house a couple hours before to try to get him to go along but he decided to stay home. The boyfriend was drinking and driving and ended up going over the side of a bridge. My dad‘s girlfriend and her sister died. The boyfriend survived. I remember hearing him tell me about as a little kid having to walk up and down the river bank searching for her. 💔 they found both sisters a few days after the crash
I can’t imagine losing both daughters in one night. And then having to search for them.
😥
I lost my babysitter the same way. RIP Renae Kidd I will never forget you
A sad story .Drinking & driving is always a bad idea. Thank you for sharing.
@@smoothlyamusing1502 😭
Even if someone could send a message or note anonymously just let Randys momma know where her son is.
May Harold rest in peace as well.
W love you Alberta. Sending hugs and love to you.
Yes, exactly! There's anonymous tip lines!
My heart and prayers go out to Randy's mom and having to find answers for her son and losing her husband just recently.
You're not responsible Leanne love. Hugs hunni. You did really well on this interview Jared, so much respect and compassion as always, I hope who has done Randy wrong, step up and own up Xx
The thing that I find odd is that more were not looking for him that evening, and it was even stranger that no-one went by his home to check on him, nor to inform his parents.
Here are my totally unprofessional thoughts about that case. I still believe some of these teens from back then know something. He is not buried under the house, who would burn the house if someone is buried in the basement? Danger of being dug out when the ruin is torn down. No, you would want this house untouched as long as possible. BUT that "party" family moved shorty after? That is really sketchy. I would have looked into anyone who was involved in that party and moved away after Randy disappeared. I hope they find him some day or someone comes forward. 💕
Am i the only 1 who noticed she vaguely mentioned a boyfriend & that they'd argued at the party & the b/f left early. Is it not possible the b/f returned while she was inside & found Randy in the passenger seat of her car & something ensued from that? & she may have never even suspected that & naturally the b/f would go to great lengths to keep it from her IF he was involved or knew anything about it because of Randy being her friend.
Idk i'd just like to hear more about the b/f. How long was she dating, how well did she know him, how long did he stay in that town afterwords, etc. because in my opinion that IS a very plausible scenario that wasnt even mentioned.
From her description of Randy not being able to put his hands in his pockets to find his keys, I can't imagine he could have any capacity to start driving at all. If he was slipped something like a "ruffie"...who would have done it?!
Thank you LeeAnn for sharing the information you know. Hope he is found and the family gets answers!🕊
Or have the capacity to unlock the car door and use the handle to get out if his fine motor skills were not functioning
The description sounds like the effects of an LSD drug. Someone could have put it in his food or his soft drink and then watched it take affect and took his keys. He was trying to leave and then Leann ran into him and she noticed him not functioning and put him in her car to keep him from hurting himself, and while she was at the house waiting to use the bathroom, Kim’s drug dealers got to Randy could have knocked him out and put him in his car and drove him somewhere and killed him and disposed of his body and probably drove his car to the next city and disposed of it. It would be good for the police to find that girl, Kim and do surveillance and then an interview.
So it's seriously doubtful that Randy drove anywhere. If he couldn't even put his hands in his pockets, how the hell would he insert a key into the ignition, let alone drive? Personally, I don't think he ever left that farm.
Yeah I agree. I just have to wonder what happened to his car.
I kind of wonder if he didn’t die of alcohol poisoning there and the property owners got scared and drove him in his car somewhere and dumped it in the Kansas River
@@Alex-mq3jt especially with the underage drinking element involved! 🤔
Sounds too me like someone drugged him and took the car..maybe to go get more drugs or something. Maybe when they came back later they discovered Randy on the ground dead or floating face down in the pond. If he was dead floating in the pond they probably wouldn't have noticed until day break. He's probably buried on that farm somewhere. Just a guess
The drinking age was 18 back then?
I think it's safe to say were all invested at this point. Whatever I can do to help, I'm willing to do. Randy deserves to be found. Breaks my heart man 🥺
I’m with you
My husband is fixing his boat to maybe start looking.
For those who know something they need to put themselves in Randy's parents place. This could be your son or daughter missing or grandchild. Its past time for them to speak up. God bless this woman for trying to look out for him and looking for him.
Jared this is a good interview. LeAnn did a great job telling the story of that night. It gave me a real idea of what things were like the night of the party. Randy has a good friend in her. I’m so sorry that she feels guilt because he went missing in those 15 minutes. It’s not her fault. Please continue to shine a light on this story. Please help Jared, Sam, Dan, the Leach family and friends bring Randy home. Hugs to Alberta and the AWP Team from Australia ❤️❤️🐨❤️❤️
🇦🇺💜🇺🇸💚
Something, when she said about Randy saying he was gonna turn people in over drugs and the ages of the people, isn't sitting right. I honestly think foul play is involved here and it is 100% over drugs.
It's possible what your saying is true. A lot of Law inforcement are involved in the drug scene. Could even be a cover up. May explain the poor investigation.
@@NelyQueen Yes...in earlier interviews before this one...somebody said something about several guys after graduation joined the police department...what does that say?....cover up,for the ones that committed this murder...!!! Yes they're in on it ,and it needs to come on out...!!!
How about the at least three people maybe more she thinks are involved? Well who are the three people? I think maybe Adventures with a purpose have already talked to people that already know more than they are letting on.
😢
The drug his ass I just wonder what they've done with him that quick?
LeAnn..please stay safe. You did not let him go without trying to locate him. It speaks volumes as to who you are as a person. I am sure that you have rattled some cages! Keep the faith! AWP is not going to give up! Love to you and Alberta!
I pray someone comes forward rather it’s anonymous or openly just to bring these sweet peoples sons home so they can have peace
She's a wonderful lady who took the time to look for him. God bless you! You did more
for him than anyone else.
I lived in a small town from the late 80's - late 90's. It was common knowledge that the County Sheriff was the biggest drug dealer in the surrounding area and there were several people who "mysteriously" ended up missing/murdered. Could be a similar situation here.
I think law enforcement is completely corrupt in the Dylan rounds case ...I believe they are covering for their money maker in Dylan's killing... they have someone in jail and I believe he's the Patsy meanwhile nobody else is being investigated in that town...
This whole case just breaks my heart. I so badly want Randy to be found so his mother can get answers. I'm sad that Harold didn't get any answers before his passing. I can't imagine how Randy's Mother and family feels not knowing all these years. I'm sure they are so grateful to have AWP by their side to help. You all are SO appreciated. LeAnn,thank you for doing this interview,so that maybe more answers will come out.
How do you know his dad passed?
@@hizgrase the newest videos on the case...look them up!
@@hizgrase if he was a senoir in the 80s w leann look at her bruh her parents and his would all be ☠
@@z240m3 Whaaa?
I’m loving this “series” but I don’t think it was an accident. I feel so bad for his family. Everyone deserves closure!!💕
She was the last friend too see him alive & she doing everything she can to find him.
Thank you for caring.
Someone else saw him afterwards & took him out of car.
Please someone just let them know where their son is. They need the remains, for closure.
Yes, other people had to see him to give him the drug and likely saw him after. She is the one who is helping and tried to help. I can almost guarantee there is someone with a guilty conscience who gave a drug to a young man and didn't want to go to prison.
@@wishingb5859 Owners of the house who moved shortly after. My take on this is that is them ❤️
@@janeedoe I'm leaning towards that too. Randy could've passed away on their property and given the adults in charge were providing drugs and alcohol to minors and now add a deceased minor on top of that, seems like it points to them disposing of his body and car so they wouldn't get in trouble and be held responsible.
Hope Randy is found soon and brought home.❤️
No one could have taken him out of the car....according to her, she had the car doors locked.
Randy Leach was a popular, tall (6"3'), good-looking Linwood High School senior athlete back in 1988. I hate to play devil's advocate or FBI profiler 🙄 BUT for the sake of being thorough (and "checking off all the boxes"), law enforcement throughout the U.S. follow a specific procedure once a missing person is reported. However, this investigation wasn't taken seriously by local police (initially) so PRIORITY to PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE EVIDENCE was not done. Still, local police say Randy was "last seen" at a well attended rural pre-grad party (the home burned to the ground by the time police got to it). SO... if what LeeAnn is saying is true and SHE was the last person to see Randy Leach alive, do detectives at the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office and Kansas Bureau of Investigation have all of this...? Do they know Randy was in her car minutes before he went missing? 🤨 Have they done forensics on her car? 🧐
Randy was not popular. He was not hated, but not popular and not an athlete. It’s pretty well known the house was burned down by one of Randy’s family members. His best friend was the DD for everyone that night supposedly. Same guy who apparently has never had anything to do with the Facebook page and everything else Randy’s classmates put on. Which includes the party host and the guy who was the “lead suspect” until 2005.
This was an accidental death, and a cover up situation. Just so many red herrings because of bad police work and Randy’s family taking matters into their own hands. They need a confession. That’s the only way this will be solved.
I can’t get anything done since I found these videos. I spend all my waking hours watching them. Cry every day over the families loss and sadness.
It's Alberta's car that seems key to solving this case, if he was trippin so hard he couldn't find his pockets, he would struggle to drive, so if his car isn't located driven off a road into a body of water, why wasn't it still parked on the neighbour's drive when everyone turned up looking for him the next day.
So... someone got rid of the car.
Or his girlfriend had the keys and was totally involved.
Or in the cave that was filled in later? If he couldn't find his pockets, he was not driving.
Yes, the same person or persons who got his keys somehow and slipped him a drug. Who owned the house and property where the party was held? Odd that there was a pond dug behind that house. Is it possible that his body and car was hidden temporarily until the heat died down, then the pond was dug on the property. What was done with the dirt? Is it possible that the body was thrown into the body of water where the cadaver dogs hit? The car was later hidden with the dirt dug up to make the pond or the body was moved there at the time the pond was dug and then it was filled with water or the car was was placed in the pond at that time from it's hiding place . That pond was never searched by anyone. Whoever burned the house down and benefitted from the insurance money was still active around the area after the fact of Randy going missing. The root of all the evil is connected to drugs and there was a drug dealer and later mudererer who neighbored the party house!!!
It sounds like Randy was TAKEN from LeAnn's car. He couldn't even find his own pockets, let alone figure out how to open a locked car door. He was removed from LeAnn's car. I don't think he's local. Feels like he was taken far away, his vehicle was either dumped / scrapped / parted out then destroyed. I feel like you're gonna have to widen your search considerably, go further from this area. His "new" girl friend, the people he threatened. That's the key! ..Just a gut feeling I have after hearing all of this...,.Suspicious........shady...
Tru and he didn't have his keys on him.
Wow so many twist to this
@@yepme6484he threatened a select few which gave them reason to eliminate him. NEVER reveal your plans to anyone.. I hope they find the guilty ones!
If the car was locked, how would someone get it open unless they had some type of tool -- and would know beforehand it was needed, or, perhaps they somehow got Randy to unlock it or open the door.
That’s what I thought too. I mean it just doesn’t seem like he could have unlocked the car door.
I think your getting close. Its what LeAnn left out that brings the following questions.
1). What were she and her boyfriend arguing about that night?
2). Where did her boyfriend go after arguing ?
3). Were any of her boyfriend's buddies at party?
4). When she left Randy in her car while she got in line to bathroom did she tell anyone Randy was in her car and she's taking him home was her boyfriend still their?
5). What lakes or ponds did her boyfriend and his friend who lived accross the street from party hang out at?
6). Another RL video it mentioned in a county next door a bag with human body parts was found and never identified who was it?
I believe it's possible unusually drunken or drugged people acted on exaggerated jealousy that may have led to Randy's death. And I think LeeAnn suspects this possibility as well and that's where some guilt may lie.
It's possible she is coming forward to both bring attention to whom she thinks is responsible or distance herself from a conspiracy or both.
Sorry but in investigations like this everyone is suspect. We are all still grateful for her coming forward regardless of any possible outcome
Very well done Randy. I thought your interview was compelling and your style is you. Don’t question how you roll because you are good. Jumping in with whatever is on your mind is exactly the clarification your audience is needing too. All the best to you and your troop of support folks 😘
@@maryjocully8806 Randy was the victim.
@@resarm5007 thanks for correcting that
Did her boyfriend have a car..or pick up truck? She mentions "car or truck" somewhere in interview. Old cars can still be traced to owner by numbers on frame of vehicle. Wondering if the old 50/60s truck found at strangers pond is connected to case(?)
@@Phoenix8Rising Apparently Randy usually always drove a truck and LeeAnn (this lady) said she’d mostly only ever known him to drive his truck. On this day/night Randy drove his mum’s car. It was his mum’s car that also disappeared when Randy did.
Wow very insightful and extremely credible, unbiased and believable witness. Condolences to his family. RIP Harold. So sorry he didn't get his answers here but I'm sure he has them now ♥
This reminds me so much of my cousin who went missing from a party in October of 2006. Foul play is suspected. His big red truck went missing too.
This just breaks my heart. I hope that this video and the fact that Harold is now gone loosens some lips and gives this family their loved one back. Prayers going out to everyone involved.
What a sweet lady. The fact she looked for him so long at the party shows she’s always been a caring person.,
Yea know I don’t believe any of her story
I feel that LeAnn is very informative and willing to share what she remembers. The cold case police, AWP, anyone who can help, needs to interview her again and again. Maybe the perfect question will arise, that reminds her of the answer needed to find Randy. Also, if you find the people that did this, you have a better chance of finding Randy.
Hi. Just found your videos by accident. I believe in your mission and thank your AWP team for taking on this life- changing work. I'm honored to be a gear supporter! 💯
God Bless You Randy and Harold. Please reveal where Randy is so he may be layed to rest with his Dad and his mother may have some solace.
Oh whoa, LeAnn is very courageous, if people were warning others off who were investigating Randy’s disappearance, she could be targeted. Please keep tabs on her, she is obviously still struggling with the whole situation.
I agree
sometimes going public is the best protection , hopefully Leanne has given names to people and that knowledge will keep her safe
I feel absolutely horrible for Randy's mom. Not only losing randy but loosing her husband too. I feel terrible for her. She is such a strong lady.
God bless you for keeping this cold case alive and not giving up it’s so frustrating I feel so bad for his mom
My heart just breaks over this case and the fact that Harold had to leave this world never knowing what happened to his son and that he had to leave Alberta behind to carry this burden of not knowing alone. I am so glad that AWP, LeeAnn and so many others are coming together and trying to bring Randy home. I pray he is found soon!
Has anyone on here also watched this? ruclips.net/video/BlSYR8sViUg/видео.html
A private investigator needs to get involved.
Adventure with a purposes is the best dive team in the world THANK YOU GOD and Jared
I don’t want to imagine being the last person known to see someone alive. I really feel sorry for that burden she has carried for so long.
She wasn’t the last to see him alive. The murderer was.
Alberta, LeAnn, Jared, AWP YOU ALL HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC JOB LOOKING FOR RANDY TO BRING HIM HOME HAROLD&RANDY R.I.H.P 🕊 ❤🕊 LEANN YOU DONT EVER BEAT YOURSELF UP BECAUSE RANDY WAS IN YOUR VEHICLE AND HE DISAPPEARED AFTER BEING IN YOUR CAR GOD WILL REVEAL WHAT HAPPEN GOD DOESN'T SLEEP
She was a very good friend she wanted to make sure he got home safely. Hopefully they can find him and put him to rest.
I wanted to call BS on this, considered giving it a pass, glad I didn't!
It is easy to recognize that LeAnn is doing this running on memory, which I must say is quite good given how many years have passed.
I am a few years older than Randy would be, I graduated in 1982, but my memories of some of those days are not as easily remembered these days. It sure did take me back and sounds so much like the parties in my neck-of-the-woods back in the day.
I truly hope his mother Alberta finds the answers, enough ime has passed, someone needs to come forward.
Be at Peace Harold. 🕊
She is a very brave and extremely loyal friend to the missing lad. I pray, very soon, Randy is found and brought home. 🙏🏼💛
I’m glad they are now doing cases where suspicious circumstances may be involved this is an even bigger help to people 😊
This is just heartbreaking, I pray Harold is with his son now and rests easy, My love and prayers for Alberta that the Lord wraps her in his arms to give her the strength to keep going, I pray Randy is brought home soon
God bless you Lee-Ann going over that night again with AWP I can’t even begin to imagine how you have felt all these years, thank you Jared,Sam, Dan and everyone else involved in their efforts to bring Randy home 💕
@@GrapeApe2018 LeeAnn I’m so sorry that happened please don’t blame yourself, it wasn’t your fault, I feel this case close to my heart as I’m the same age as you all, hopefully Alberta will have answers soon 💕
Her boyfriend lived near the party house?
Her boyfriend left mad
Maybe he seen Randy in her vehicle and did something out of anger/jealousy
Why was she so involved in helping him and locating him that night, respectfully saying- it doesn’t seem “normal” to be that concerned .
Just a wild theory, I’m no detective and do not know her at all.
My thoughts exactly! It was a moment in the interview totally missed. LeAnn should have been asked what the fight with her boyfriend was about. That got my attention immediately
When a friend is a true friend you do this...especially when she knew he didn't do drinking and drugging, she knew she needed to get him away...when she got him to the car she should've just took him on home...by the way....that druggie girl Theresa,after he got missing and Leeann didn't say anything about seeing her anymore...hhmmm....I'll have to ask Leeann about if she saw her after Randy went missing...
I understand what you are saying about bf. I am concerned for other's welfare and safety and was so in my teens, as well. My brother's friends called me, "Florence", as in Nightingale
I would search high and low for a friend who I know was so messed up they couldn’t walk and got out of my car. I would have done the exact same thing she did .
My exact thought...
I dont know kinda sounds like she knows exactly what happened to him or she just putting rumors together but she is pretty precise on details.
So much...want to see randy come home. Love his dad and mom. Such sweet people. Im sorry dad passed away. AWP do awesome work and help in so many different ways, Thank you!
does no one think that this is a wierd story? so she was making her rounds to say goodbye and was on her way to her car when she saw him standing there wasted and searching for his keys, she then puts him in her car locks the doors and suddenly she needs to go inside to toilet for 15min? its obviously something fishy about that, then she comes out and sees that he is gone and his car is gone? and starts searching around the house for 45min even when his car is gone? after that she starts driving around for another 45min to search for him? my gut feeling is that she is involved and knows what happend
Id of driven past his house i would think to make sure he wasn't already back home vs continuing to look all over....
Yes RIP now Harold. You have your answers. God bless Alberta. Praying she has the strength to keep the faith. Harold is with you all to help locate Randy 💖💖💖✨✨✨
She’s a strong women to have carried such quilt for so many years, she’s a good friend. It’s not your fault my friend.
She did so much more than you usually hear anyone did when they get separated from the one who ends up missing. She's such a great lady.
@Donnita Coble You have no idea what happened to him so to say that she had something to do with it is just ridiculous. Plus she had no reason to harm Randy.
@Donnita Coble IF you know that for certain, that would mean that you're withholding evidence and information that you should be coming forward with. But I seriously doubt you have any honest knowledge whatsoever of what happened to Randy. It looks like you're simply trying to be another internet troll (and failing miserably, BTW). If that's the case, it's past time for you to stop harassing people here.
Thank you for doing this. I was so moved by her story, and thought, that has got to be tough living with that guilt knowing he disappeared and that you looked everywhere you thought of to look. That's all she could do. That is too much guilt to carry. God Bless.
If there were other people involved in Randy’s disappearance and involved in drugs makes me wonder if they’d still be alive today to give Randy’s mom answers? 🙏🏻💔
I really hope they find him... It really sounds like foul play happened.
You can feed a human to pigs and you will never find evidence of the pigs eating a person.
@@michelekutner4229 because it was up the street
She said she thinks there were at least 3 people involved in the MURDER, I think she knows more than she's letting on, just my opinion?
I am 30 minutes in but I would like to share my own gut feelings. I know there is so many comments that this may never be read, but please don't take this personally. I don't know why, but from what I have heard so far.. this interview is bringing gut feelings of survivors guilt. If LeeAnn or family is reading this, please don't feel offended by my comment, as I said, gut feeling that is likely completely wrong, but you know what they say. I feel this is too cut and dry.
Timeline. 15 minutes from locking him in the car to no trace ever again. Scary. I can't imagine what that would be like. Weighing the situation, is it more likely that within 15 minutes someone disappears from the face of the planet? Or is it more likely that an hour and a half gives enough time to make that happen? I don't think LeeAnn had anything to do with the outcome NO MATTER WHAT. But.. one of the most common symptoms of survivors guilt is staying as close and as involved in the case as possible. You want to be a part of it, you throw yourself into the search, into the family because of the guilt of knowing more about what may have happened.
Simple details left out are also the MOST CRUCIAL details that would help solve his disappearance. I feel terrible for bringing any doubt into this situation as an outsider, so PLEASE. Feel no offense to this as I'm talking out my ass. Something is nagging me about nobody else having as much interest into this case as much as LeeAnn. I grew up in kansas, I know what these rural parties are like. How does she know nothing of Flannigan? NOTHING? Okay, even in small towns, if you don't hangout in certain crowds, you can be removed from certain people. Yes. But Flannigan was a neighbor and she talks of being friends with Erwins and living within walking distance.. Flannigan was also a fairly well known person in many groups from what i've heard. Weird. Not impossible, but unlikely.
The part about saying she thinks it was somewhat "local", not KC kids that were involved, but maybe in relation to this girlfriend at the time that was involved with a rougher crowd. It may mean nothing but it gives a separation of events. Kind of a "No need to look that direction" kind of feel. I was involved with bad crowds in highschool. I can tell you that nobody, even and especially people involved with drugs, would care enough about somebodies straight and narrow boyfriend to want to "take them out". Druggies in highschool fear cops and don't want any other reason for them to be looked into by police. They hang with their own crowd and if somebodies boyfriend isn't into drugs, they would try to stay away from a possible witness/narc.
Using GHB/Roofies in highschool to get someone messed up on accident or on purpose doesn't happen, maybe with older crowds and women, but people (especially highschoolers or other low-income druggies) aren't going to waste EXPENSIVE drugs in a small town to do whatever may have made him disappear within 15 minutes.
@@TwoAPTMLMusicProductions the mob was and probably still is very active there. I live about 30 miles away from there, and it's well known to be the case. Even the police are involved in these small towns. Used to get weed from a cop in my town year's ago, until they got busted, but it's been known to be far worse where this crime happened. Back in the 80s all the big players were there. There's an ammunition plant that is close and was in operation Back then, so you had a lot of shady characters around. The mob is still there, and there are a lot of powerful families close by in KC. This community is within spitting distance of every single disgusting thing that happens regularly in large cities. There's even a local rap artist that mentions this area in a song about some gang troubles. The shady people are there, and still in business.
@@TwoAPTMLMusicProductions using GHB/roofies can and is using to mess up guys too.
@@rustyreese4006 that explains why they denied access to their property to the divers.
Randy disappeared and never heard from again. What could it be but murder?
Giant red flag, the afternoon after he goes missing the girlfriend is asked whats going on? and she starts crying and goes back into the house...?!.....The police really need to talk to the girlfriend again.
YES,the girlfriend,her crying afterwards...says that SHE KNOWS AND SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND WHERE HE IS...!!!...also the girl,Kim Irwin and her mother who live at that house that the party was held at ...that mother mixed the spiked punch ...it happened...they saw ...they know what happened,that's why they moved so quickly...and they know whose behind Randy disappearing...!!!
@@wandastevens3183 Yes you are correct "Kim" 👍
Agree!!! Go interview the girlfriend...
The girlfriend had to have told one her friends something. They need to speak out
@@wandastevens3183Just some clarifications as I've read, He wasn't said to have been dating Kim Erwin. He had recently broken up with a Pam. Theresa is supposedly who he was recently hanging with at the time- in the yellow car that's been mentioned in other stories.
I think she may have more information than what she is telling you... I'm not trying to be mean. Hope the family will get there answers soon.
Thank you AWP for sticking with this as long has you have. My heart aches for his mom. I hope that this will give her somepiece of mind but she still deserves to know exactly what happened.
TO Randy's MOM: I believe Harold and Randy have been reunited. ❤ Hopefully you're law enforcement will NOW be able to discover what happened that night and give Randy and you the justice you deserve. Love and prayers for you. ❤❤❤
AWP does gods work...I’m a proud member of your channel.
I'm getting the whole "I know what you did last summer" vibes from this story. Not neccesarily from the interviewee but just in general. Wish someone would just come forward.
On episode 3, you found a big crate in the water. Did you check the inside of that crate? If Randy was met with foul play, then he could be in the crate.. just a thought
Good take on the case!
I thought about that too.
Thank you guys for a sensitive interview. My heart breaks for you all. Sending prayers, love and healing. Hope this interview goes the extra mile in bringing Randy home.
You can hear the guilt when she talks about, oh Leeann it's not your fault!! I believe it was all planned and there was nothing you could have done and if you'd have tried you might have been "missing" too.. I just hope someone's conscience gets to them and they come forward so that everyone who cares about him can be at ease!!
It might not come out until that person is on their deathbed finally admitting to it in hopes God will save their soul from hell...that's not cutting it...nope....ALBERTA NEEDS HER SONS REMAINS NOW...Randy just didn't know that it's literally a threat when you tell drugsheaded pushers that you're gonna screw up their little sideline business with that little ho if you don't let her go...and ALL the contacts in her long list of buyers...sounds like that list was that drug pushers big bankroll...with those idiots they don't think before they jump on it...
Just today I just heard about this young man Randy. Randy may have been drugged this lady said he wasn't into drinking or drugs. This is what led me to believe that he was drugged. Someone had taken his keys out of his pocket. She said she locked the car All but the passenger side. She was only gone 15min. A lot happened in 15min and no signs of Randy. It had to have been foul play . He didn't have his keys so he didn't drive his car as a matter of fact he was in no condition to drive. However I believe he was willing to get out of the car. No sign of a struggle. It's been over 30 yrs. How does anyone think he would up the water.
Don't blame yourself it seemed like you were the only one who cared. I think everyone was to messes up. Did the police ever question the people at the party and the people giving the party. Contributing to a minor. .
Please, please if you know anything about what happened to Randy, just get it off your chest. Just anonymously let Alberta, Leann, Jared (adventures with purpose) know what happened. How would you like it if this happened to you, your child missing without knowing for all these years, heartbreak! So it today and let someone know!
Thank you for posting this. It really humanizes the story and shows the broad meaning behind the work you are doing. I am so impressed by you folks.
I'm a new member and live a little more than an hour away from Linwood, Kansas. My heart breaks for this family. You guys do an amazing job. What a vocation!! My son would be so excited to meet you. Maybe next time you're in Kansas???
I believe Randy died after passing out whether in her car or his, and some people did some things they're still not talking about.
Yeah I’m a little suspicious with her story. I think it’s weird her Bf supposedly left the party early
@@topher3178 right. I’m wondering where did he go?
Let us pray that a few people will be brave and step up to do the right thing 🙏
I just cannot imagine the horror of not knowing what happened to my child! My sympathy goes out to these people!
If Harold has any power in heaven as an angel, he will lead these guys to his remains for his wife!! Bless the family, and close friends!
The mother who bought the alcohol should have gone to jail and been sued. She was responsible for Randy’s safety and she let all this happen😡
I still think he's in Strangers Creek buried way under the mud. AWP hasn't been able to get anyone with that special equipment that could locate a car way deep in the mud. They have been trying.
after 30 something yrs, he would probably be under 6 ft of mud and sediment by now the car would be rusted to pieces and his bones would already been scattered.
True...or his body could be put into the septic tank at the party house or drug dealers house next door...I think nat Erwins house ,because she moved so fast...just like we think Heather Elvis's body is put into the Moorer's septic tank because they've searched that pond and she's not there so the only other explanation is into that home's septic tank ,but by law they can't check that...they don't have the permission...her car was found okay,she was taken from her car by the Moorers....running around with the husband,he had a jealous, violent wife...
@@wbuttry1 True...
I believe this is classic dui and off the road
I cant even remember what happened 10 yrs ago in that kind of detail. Her memory is amazing.
I bearly remember yesterday but when it comes to worry concern a lose you tend to go over it in your head for years.
I feel so bad for Leeann and I am sure Randy would have not wanted her to have carried this with guilt her for the past 32 years.
In doing a bit more research from the area and time, there were a couple others who vanished in the area. There is Brinkley who is serving time for the others disappearance. His friend at the time said those other guys missing were put into steel drums welder shut and dumped in the Missouri river next to where the casino is now. Might be an area worth checking and of course barrels are different than cars. Not sure but maybe an idea. BLESSINGS to AWP for helping try to bring some closure to Randy's family.
Wow that kinda makes some sense
What casino? There are more than one. But I think they might all be pretty close together. Been a while since I was in that part of KC.
@@marlene2996 If their law enforcement is anything like some of the others in these videos, then, "no".
If that’s the case then where is the car?
This is so heartbreaking! For her to carry that responsibility for 32 years is just awful. I hope he gets found. The family needs closure and so does his friend.
I would check on lee-Ann old boyfriend she did say he was mad that night maybe he came back to the party that night and found randy , also said her boyfriend at the time good friend lived next to the party house. She knows way to much about this, she’s the closes thing to the truth. I pray randy mom gets peace and the truth of what happened that night.
Good point. Jealousy makes people do crazy things. Someone spiked his drink. And someone who can't even put their hands n their pockets isn't going far or driving and on ghb your n and out of conciousness. 15 min she was gone and that's plenty of time to get him next door. She didn't know he was driving his mom's car so the boyfriend could have went back and got it to get rid of and no one would have even known.
I felt her boyfriend did it too. She got nervous in morning when Harold showed up and her bf did too. Why ??? He did it and she knows it.
What’s weird is the keys. If she’s telling the truth and she searched every pocket then other people are involved, someone would have had to go searching for the keys and there would have been witnesses in the house. Or someone took his keys because he was to fkd up to drive. Very suspicious
Did her boyfriend own a pick-up? Maybe the one AWP found in the tree at Stranger Creek? Just a thought..
Given LeeAnn's care and concern for her friend on the night I have a feeling that her need for the bathroom probably saved her life. Anyone who had no qualms about administering what she suspected was given to Randy would have had no problem "disposing" of her too. LeeAnn you survived to continue to stand up for Randy and justice on his behalf. It seems like you did everything and more that you could have. Don't judge your teenage self by the knowledge and experience that you now have as an adult.
It’s strange that she was at the party with her boyfriend, yet she was leaving alone in her car which she put Randy in the passenger seat where he was missing once she exited the house from the bathroom, and find it even stranger that she chose to conduct a long search along the roadways and at the second party! I’m a retired police officer and maybe it’s just the cop in me that thinks that way as nothing can or should be overlooked, especially when a bunch of graduating age students gathered at parties where alcohol and drugs are involved!
Very strange indeed. Having been a young male at one time myself, there is no way I wasn’t going home or somewhere else with my girlfriend to get some “action”. Certainly not letting my girl drive some annihilated random dude home alone either.
I was thinking about her boyfriend too. But who had his keys? Girlfriend?
Possible scenario is Randy did manage to get out of the car on his own (or girlfriend found him). Whoever had his keys drove off with him. Stole the car and did something to Randy when he raised hell about it being his mom's car?
@@ldqa2737 Her boyfriend could have taken the keys from her. Was he ever questioned? The argument between them could have been a motive for her boyfriend to do something.
She locked him in her car. How did he unlock the door to get out when he had no fine motor skills.
LeeAnn said in the interview that her boyfriend left earlier in the evening as they had been arguing.
This story has hit my heartstrings from the very beginning. I feel so bad for Alberta and for Harold passing before he is found. Poor leeann.
She wants to find him so bad. Randy needs to be brought home. We love you Alberta will find Randy.
It's so sad that after all these years Randy Leach still hasn't been found. Someone definitely knows what happened to him and where he can be found PLEASE SPEAK UP IT'S WAY PAST TIME RANDY IS BROUGHT HOME. EVERYONE HERE HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS ALL DESERVE SOME PEACE.. My heart breaks for everyone family, friends and all involved in searching for Randy my prayers go out to you all. God Bless you all💔😢🙏🙏🙏
She is involved
I think she knows a lot more than she's letting you know 🤔
Wow! She remembers an awful lot, considering this happened so long ago. LeeAnn has a memory of steel.
That’s how it is when you get older, I’m 52 and I can’t remember what I had for supper last night but I can remember 30 years ago.
Correct age takes recent memories but easy to temember way back- 52 is young- think - me 84- so far I have a very good complete memory of everything- keep wondering when will losing it start
I think that the reason Leanne(my middle name) remembers like it was yesterday, is that she was so close to the sequence of events at the party, not to mention not leaving Randy, and staying with him until she saw that Randy was not in her car when she got back!!!!! Another thing, it sounds like she overheard more than MAYBE she was suppose to and it could possibly put her in danger.I pray it doesn't and that our Father God puts his angel's around her and keep her safe from any harm🙏🙏🙏👱♀️👱♀️👱♀️👱♀️
@@marlenecardinahl9346 Some never lose their faculties or memories. You sound like you never will.
This is a very good interview and I pray you do more of them. The one question I wish was asked is was her boyfriend back at the party finding Randy in her car? I doubt that would end well. But it sounds like any small town in USA that has more unspoken crap going on then the facade they all want everyone to see. Bold and brave woman, I pray the truth will be known soon.
Condolences to Alberta and family . Thank you Leanne for stepping up to the plate in sharing ur story of Randy's last hours. I hope you have inspired others that may know something to help piece more missing pieces to the puzzle. Prayers for justice to prevail for Randy. Great interview Jared of AWP💯💯💯👍👍👍👍
So she saw him at 1:30 and searched for an hour an a half which it would be 3:00 now then went home and got in the house at 3:03 yea ok...
My heart goes out to the family and to Leanne as well . It would not be easy knowing you were probably the last person to see Randy . God bless the Leechs and rest east Harold . You deserved to know where you son had gone . Hopefully this will put the pressure on those who know the truth . Adventures with Purpose , Jared , you are amazing kind souls ❤
This whole interview give me guilty vibes.. how would he be taken out of the car if it was locked and he didn’t have the keys? And just in case she would be involved she would have an easy hour an a half alibi while she was “searching” for him. Would she have taking his keys of him and moved his vehicle because she said he lost his keys if that was so how would somebody have moved his vehicle in a couple hours without the keys.
agree.. so she was making her rounds to say goodbye and was on her way to her car when she saw him standing there wasted and searching for his keys, she then puts him in her car locks the doors and suddenly she needs to go inside to toilet for 15min? its obviously something fishy about that, then she comes out and sees that he is gone and his car is gone? and starts searching around the house for 45min even when his car is gone? after that she starts driving around for another 45min to search for him? my gut feeling is that she is involved and knows what happend
@@lyxxor absolutely I’d be willing to bet she knows exactly what happened
Well if you two are guys, then you might forget since it was a party there was likely a line for the bathroom especially for women. I could see the time thing easily true, and he drove his moms car instead of his usual truck. People probably didn't know he drove her car there?
@@lyxxor she said there were a couple people in front of her in line to the bathroom.
@@shalynn2577 so what if there was a line? She said she was going around the house to say goodbye to everyone before she went out and saw him? then she instantly needed to pee even tho she havent drink anything? Why not go to bathroom when ur walking inside saying goodbye before leaving?
Leann!! You are an amazing person to have even gone as far as you did to find him that night. 32 years later you are sharing a story that you probably relive over and over. Do not blame yourself for what happened... you are helping to fill a lot of blanks. You are appreciated 💕
So great to hear from first hand account of someone that was there Harold has answer but Randy's mom is still left in the dark hopefully someone else comes forward to help close this case
P
Glad I stumbled across a video of yours. I look forward to seeing new videos and rewatching older ones. You guys are the definition of courageous.
She is all of us. Growing up doing school things. Hugs dear.
LeAnn has an incredible memory. She has total clarity on events that transpired 32 years ago.
What a great interview...sending out much needed prayers
God bless y'all
Great job guy's
