Just Subbed You Guys Are Great I’m New To Your Channel Keep Up The Great Work And Videos Help These Families Get Answers And Possible Justus (You Should Come Do The Detroit River And Bel-Isle Island) Dive It,You’ll Get Sooooo Many Guns Cars And Bodies Hey I’m Just Saying 🙂 My State Is Surrounded With Water And Plagued By Violence The Good Old Great Lakes Detroit, Michigan
@@PhilD22 You'll notice that we did make it up the river later in the video and searched under the bridge. It's the part after we spotted the car on the bank, before we went back to the car.
if the pig farm was there back then is it a possibility randy was given to the pigs and the car was given to flannagan as they never checked his back yard the car could be there
Because what they have is true Love, love is not a feeling, it is a choice to care for another person regardless what they have to offer you, true love is unconditional. Any one can choose to Love someone that they don’t like.
As someone who has a cold case in the family, I know the wondering, thinking, grief weights heavy I life. My heart breaks for this family. The worse part is also the rumors,gossip and mean spirited people who cast questions about someone they might not know. Thank you for what you do, it isn’t easy work, and there aren’t always answers. But sometimes no answer is an answer.
This is just so sad:(. During the last scene, while they're sitting down to dinner, you can see Randy's pictures on the front of the kitchen cabinets & all over. These poor people have lived almost their entire lives wondering what happened to their child & searching for him. They have never had any peace & that's just so sad. They never got to xperience their son going off & then graduating from college, or getting married & having children, all of the things that the rest of us parents get to enjoy. These kind & gracious people didn't deserve this. Life is just so unfair sometimes:(
I noticed those pictures too Linda. They love him so much and I'm sure Randy loved them. Too bad some evil people chose to harm Randy. His parents have tried so hard to get answers. Hopefully this case will be solved soon
Being an only child and kind of understanding if I left my family brings me a ton of pain.. watching this poor family. I want them to find the truth before they leave this world without knowing.. I want this to come to an end and see justice if this is indeed not an accident which even with all the stories being briefly talked about I bet you there is secrets in this community that need to be uprooted.
when you stop to think about it.....that is a long, long time to live in agony. They wake up each day and go to bed each night in stress about their missing son. They have to "live" it and suffer year in and year out.
I will pray for Randy's body to be found! So that his parents can lay him to rest properly. This case breaks my heart! Sending love and light to his parents. RIP! Xx
There’s just too many things lining up that points to a cover up. - Shows getting 0 cooperation from local authorities. - Flanagan’s “30 years ago” statement - Refusal to identify the found remains - The arson a short time after the disappearance - That Flanagan wasn’t investigated (even though that was last known location) If it looks like a cover up. Smells like a cover up. I think we found ourselves a cover up.
This comment needs to be on top. I am suspecting the same thing, way too many knots pointing over a cover up. So upsetting for the family to have to go through this.
@@axelbueso5547 ESPECIALLY that it’s rumored how several have vanished/died who were close to “solving” this case is just straight obvious it’s a whole cover up. Upsets me to know the Justice System is sometimes controlled by crooks who coward behind each other to direct false statements or say they cannot speak of the case any longer when it’s stupid to do, like bro, that’s not even your family member; let alone child; so what would you think? That everyone will move on without further questioning investigation & the very sketchy conclusions? They sitting around for long & getting comfy it seems, with Flanagan giving such an obvious pointer. 😒 they know they got ‘partners’ on their side.
This is an entriging story. This smells like a cover up all over it. Why no real help from the police? If the car isn't under water, where is it? I pray closure is brought to this family.
This is definitely a cover up. Randy Leach is a name that we know all too well around here. The PD is still cautious when Randy is brought up. In this area, you have 100's upon 1000's of acres of woods as well as the river and surrounding ponds to keep in mind. God Bless the Leach's and you all for hearing their call. Hopefully the family and those in the community are able to get the closure that is needed.
I'm from olathe ks and me and my friends talk about this case all the time. We all have our different veiws on this and we all love missing person case's
Why has nobody reported those cops for not doing their jobs?! Report them to the state level to be investigated and real cops be brought into that department!
I just read that, Jami, and I am so, so sorry for Alberta and for Harold's family and friends. Such a dear, sweet man! I had hoped and prayed, as so many, that this precious couple would find answers and closure during their lifetimes. May it be found for Alberta now. Praying God will use quilt and conscience on the people that know something so they'll crack and share the truth they know.
There is an open search going on right now for 2 young men and their dog that went missing in the Mississippi River at Vicksburg, Mississippi about 2 weeks ago. They found their boat, their lifejackets and their hunting bag. The boat motor foot had damage and the boat had a bad gash like it hit a rock jetty in the river. The boys haven't been located. The United Cajun Navy and the United Cajun Navy of Mississippi are on the river now actively searching for them. They are in need of someone with sidescan sonar. I wanted to reach out to you guys and let you guys know about the situation. The incident is on the United Cajun Navy Facebook page.
The house where the party was the people had just moved in a short time before. Two months after his disappearance they've moved out the house burns two days in a row and they find remains in 3 burlap bags by the river in the same time period. I would go to state level to have the investigation reopened.
What if that was his body and LE didnt even bring him home when they had a chance? The truth is the cruelest when those who should be trusted with upholding our laws are breaking them???? And for what? What are they gaining in exchange? Nothing is worth the years of suffering for this family! Thank you AWP for bring this story to the present, making more people aware of this tragedy. (On a side note for financial reasons i had to cancel my membership. I’m still watching every single adventure. I hope to rejoin after New Years. $5 is not much coin to give to keep your adventures going each month.)
I'd contact someone over the local LE, obviously they have evidence that could be laboratory tested and known for sure. I would hate to think that they had Randy's body in those burlap bags for all these years and never tested those remains with all the advances we have available today. Someone above the locals needs to be contacted!
We released an episode a few month back trying to signal boost Randy's case. Thank you for selflessly putting in great work to try to help bring him home and bring attention to his story. I really hope this leads to closure for the family.
Did any body that attending that party from years ago related to anyone in the police department or fire department! I think it’s really creepy that the police department and the fire department were so cold to these people about finding their son.!!!
I'm sure there is a story there to be told. I think law enforcement in that town is hiding a lot of there own criminal activity. The Fire department included. Somehow this investigation would have exposed them. A graduation party in a small town would have been known about by many. For what ever reason I think the law was in on the drug delivery that day. Could have been a case of Randy knowing too much. His grandma's brother is a , or was a cop in another town. He should try to get a leak down the line from another cop. The cops don't want to spend time and money searching for someone when they already know where he is.
The Leach Family are the strongest people I’ve ever seen..The amount of pain & loss they have endured throughout the last 3 DECADES is astonishing. It’s so wrong. It’s gut wrenching. It’s inspiring. It’s absolutely unbelievable. They need answers. They need THE TRUTH FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT & they NEED justice for Randy. Sending prayers of continued strength & renewed hope. May The Lord help them have closure & peace. God Bless you Jared & Sam. 🤍🙏🏻🌟
I’m a pond hopping bass angler and it’s so crazy to think about what could be at the bottom of so many ponds around the country.... You guys are so awesome. Keep up the good work! Truly inspirational
Yes with the possibility of a corrupt law enforcement entity if enough people push for the FBI to step in being as theres a large amount of drugs involved then they would possibly start looking at local law enforcement as allegedly being involved by allowing it to happen and getting money for their letting it happen i know of a few that have been caught for that very thing one of them was the older sheriff in my county so yes if they can get the county residents to band together speaking to the FBI as well as the state pd then it could push the FBI to finally step in
When Jared read the article about the last time I did this was 30 years ago, my jaw literally dropped. This poor family. Someone definitely knows something. 😢
I remember this when it happened. I lived close to the Leach’s. I have also lost a son in Topeka. There is nothing worse than losing a child. It never gets easier. Especially when there is no closure. God Bless this family. God Bless you and Sam. I pray God finds a way for closure for all of you. Thank You for what you’ve done ❤️🙏🏻
My thoughts and prayers go out to Alberta and Harold. I can’t imagine how they have carried on all these years. Thank you for helping them. Can’t believe they didn’t do more with the body parts they found. Not getting the help and cooperation from the law inforcement must make it so much harder on the family. Hope they finally get some answers.
Someone knows what happened. I hope this exposure re-highlights this case and someone comes forward. Yes, it is possible to call in an anonymous tip. Great job, guys! You cleared a lot of area in a couple of days. Hope someone can search that one piece of river, where the dogs hit, with GPR. Hoping this lovely family may be able to bring their son home soon. ❤️
Please please please to the Pearson who knows what happens to randy wmif you have concerns tell the police parents and the dive team were the car and boy is he had a hole life ahead of him a lovely looking lad his parents don't deserve it the want answers and a clouesevif if you have any guilt tell police department ana the spealist team who been helping the parents they need answers miss Susan cailceta 073897620120 44 01516450705
At the end of this my take away is that I hope that the river where the cadaver dogs signaled can be searched below the silt layer. There are still unanswered questions there. You guys did so much work on this and it's amazing to see. Your teams is doing amazing work.
@Jeremy Mitchell I believe cadaver dogs can tell the difference between human and other remains. Also the magnetic detection machine showed an anomaly there too.
@Jeremy Mitchell I'm pretty sure that they are only supposed to hit on human remains, but I am not sure. Hmmm.. guess I have something to check into! Lol
@Jeremy Mitchell cadaver dogs only alert to human scent… Animals or fish would not set them off… And that older man said that the old cemetery the dogs alerted to so if they can sense DEF from decades previous that’s pretty amazing
Omg the police did these parents so much wrong. I'm wondering if a kid or nephew from a cop had something to do with this case. This is so wrong. I hope they get answers before they die. Bless them. Thank you for your service guys. At least there are area's cleared out now.
Right? Or the police officer themselves? The officer was drinking and driving then hit & killed him? Or pulled him over, lost his temper & shot or beat him dead? Something strange because there's too much defensiveness here on the police side of things
@@irisheyes5890 everybody is entitled to their own opinion based on the evidence they've heard. Yet, I'm sure there is a lot more to the story that we havnt heard...
This is such a cover up I really hate when there are corrupt law enforcement involved. It sounds like they want to hurt the parents to keep them from asking questions. I really feel for this family. Noone deserves to be treated this way. I hope these videos will get other people and other law enforcement involved and they can get some answers for this family. We are thinking about you all the time. Bring Randy Home!!!!
When a child goes missing or dies ,it is extremely hard to overcome .I hope this couple is able to find their son before 1 of them dies ..I hope ALL of their needs are met !
These poor people need closure. You can tell they are getting old and may not have a lot of time left. Feel so sad for them. Appreciate all you do to help people. You guys are heaven sent.❤❤❤
Suzann Churchwell all I can think about is the peace they will both have when they are met by their son on their way to heaven. There’s no way he’s still alive
The missing person AND the car would've been found long ago if this was an accident. It seems obvious to me he was murdered. Pressure needs to be put on the police to investigate the guy's property where the car was last seen or hire a P.I.
@@serenarod812 what the Pi was murdered? I did not catch that. Very suspicious thing in it's self. Not to mention the pi license was looked at. Like someone wanted to road block this PI.
Right! My thoughts were that flannigan was in league with the local PD, probably slingling drugs to some of the law enforcement, he got mad and killed Randy and bc the law enforcement officials were privy to flannigans shady dealings, they helped him cover up the killing to save their asses. That's the only logical scenario that makes sense to me
One thing is for sure these recovery divers are a God send to the families of the missing..I pray for your continued success in finding these people..God Bless You
You are correct to what you are saying if the pig farm was there that many years ago. Pigs eat everything even bone! Because a pigs stomach is the only stomach that I know of on earth that can break down the bones because of its stomach acid.
I wonder if the family has checked whether or not Flannigan has any close relatives on the Police Dept....I heard the older gentleman you interviewed say that he would never think Flannigan would do that, but people said the same thing about Chris Watts. I guess is Flannigan has a lot more to do with this poor kid being missing.
I also have a brother who was found hanging from a tree w his hands and feet tied behind his back... It was deemed a "suicide" by police. I also have another brother who has been missing for 30yrs. Totally unconnected. Crappy world we live in. Just to show how dilligent police are about solving crimes... My van was stolen and a year later the sheriff called to ask if i had found my van.
I remember when this happened, because I am from Leavenworth, Kansas - right down the road. I didn't know Randy, but it was just so surreal. I am not a religious person but I do offer up love and light to Alberta and Harold in hopes that they will get the closure they so need. Thank you to the entire Adventures With Purpose team for shedding some light on previously unanswered questions. Stay safe and keep searching for those that are lost. 💗🌻
Amy please contact the directors of aventures purposes and see if it’s possible that they could use a drone and to scan and search the area of the property of where that home was the scene of the crime/ the burned home since you’re close and nearby there maybe you could serve some type of purpose in the investigation of this case,thank you.
You are poking a bear. Somewhere, somebody is alive with a memory that won't quit. Hit 'em again!If one person is silent, it's up to the person who has a little memory ... a memory upon which so much is still riding. Somebody is alive, and knows.
I’m sure that these people who want to report to law enforcement about Randy’s whereabouts & the person or people involved in Randy’s disappearance, maybe has a death threat against them & their loved ones, if caught snitching the mother ****er(s) out to law enforcement.
You guys are great!!! Watching you all the way from Italy 🇮🇹. What's leaves me perplexed at times is the way local police officers/sheriffs are treating You. Out of 10 3 are giving you the respect you deserve; 5 they allow you to do the job only because they have no choices but not to happy to have you around, and 2 are just some piece of work.
I can’t stop thinking about the woman saying, “Mrs. Leach, can I get you a beer?” From everything I’ve read about her, she seems so sketchy. I’m learning so many new things about the case from these videos. I hope Mr. and Mrs. Leach find answers.
I agree and why after months later the house got burned sounds like they wanted to cover up some evidence in the house maybe they ditched Randy’s vehicle but his body was hidden inside the house somewhere or Flanagan property. Something is fishy. Hope and pray the family gets answers soon.
What you guys do is amazing. You are being a great service to families of missing people and helping clear the cold cases backload. Wonderful bunch of guy's.
It's nice to see someone use this platform for something good. It's great that you use the monetary aspect of youtube to help you do such a great service! God speed!
When we look at the number of views your stories on Randy Leach have garnered, we have to hope something good comes from this. With more people aware of the story and on the alert, it's possible more leads will pop up. It's possible someone will find evidence that relates to the case to help get it solved. I just read Randy's father, Harold Leach, passed away yesterday. I grieve with all who are grieving this dear man. I had prayed Randy's parents would get the answers and closure they were seeking before they passed. Hoping still this will occur in Alberta Leach's lifetime. So very thankful for the time and attention you have given Randy's story. You have done your best, explored every possibility and given your all. Heartfelt thanks to this fine team. Keep doing what you do. It makes a difference.
I'm highly disturbed that a teenager goes missing and the local law enforcement didn't even search the property his car was parked at. secondly ther're investigating the private investigator the family hires, why wouldn't you welcome him with open arms?
Usually, in a case like this the corruption goes all the way up the ladder (sad to say). I'm going to pray for this dear, sweet family. One day they will be reunited with Randy and there will be no evil force that will ever separate them again. And those responsible for his demise will have to stand before Their Maker and be held accountable (wouldn't wanna be in their shoes!) x0x0
The comment of Flanagan about not being as angry as he was (when he killed his girlfriend) in over 30 years has so much weight to it. That’s more than enough to warrant an interview, and Police could play psychological tricks on Flanagan by saying “we now have enough evidence to get you a further life sentence, however the jail term will be reduced if you tell us where to find Randy”. Flanagan thinking he’s making a plea when his comment indicates that the guilt is still a burden now, needs added pressure to get the answers.
The police seem to be involved in this somehow or the governing officials or their family members somehow the whole town is tight lipped and the police run people out of town if they find out they are helping
Not sure of his current sentence but if it’s already life the da could offer immunity in exchange for answers to that. I’m sure the family would just like closure vs a drawn out court case.
OweyJ20 that is going to be a problem. If Flanagan has anything to do with the disappearance of Randy Leach then he is some how connected to the police cover up.
It's police/sheriff's like this that really give police a bad reputation. The good old boys network should be dismantled. I strongly believe that 99% of the police in this country are good and fair people, but when things like this are going on, it slowly erodes the trust and respect that the public has given to the force. I sincerely hope that someone steps forward and helps this family out. Maybe once these old detectives and officers retire, the new ones can step up and solve it... or maybe they'll grow a spine and heart and offer up the information they've gathered and tell them what they know.
I live in a rural county in the mid-Atlantic. Our Sheriff's Department has a Facebook page and is always posting pics of deputies by name doing good things, including having caught a criminal, along with all sorts of community safety information. I find it strange and telling that in 2020 the Leavenworth KS Sheriff Department doesn't have Facebook page of their own and on the county page there are only 2 posts from the Sheriff in the last month, both announcing traffic enforcement weekends accompanied by the same photo of a police car. Jeez, not all cops are undercover, why are they so antisocial?
@@GlamorganManor I think that the old guard is stuck in their ways and they refuse to advance or move into the 21st century. On top of maintaining their good ole boy network
Just found y'all recently and wanted to tell you how much I enjoy watching what you are doing. You are providing a wonderful service to families who've lost loved ones where the authorities can't seem to locate them. I admire you and wish you all the best...Bec from Knoxville, TN
Decades ago, my brother was the unofficial leader of a group that was involved in small time drug dealing. It came to pass that if my brother said something about someone or something that he liked or disliked, a corresponding action would occur soon after. Examples: They were at a bar in a different state and he said he absolutely loved the bar top. Month later when he came back from a trip, that bar was in his house. Another time he made comments about a guy that was being a real &$$&)#@ to him. A week later that guy was "mugged" and ended up in the hospital in critical condition. So, just because this guy said he didn't do it, doesn't mean his friends didn't.
Sounds like a sub plot of the book Lincoln Lawyer. The friends located a suspected offender and were beating him. Matthew Machonehey walked away saying I need him in the ICU, not the morgue. So, maybe your story can add some logic to this. Small towns have their own judicial system. Either way, this family is searching for closure. Naysayers have a way of influencing families in that closure is a myth. But it isn’t.
@@janiceseaver7301 closure is always tough. At 24, someone entered my brothers home and shot him in the head. Police knew he was a small time drug dealer so little to no investigation was done. Cash was taken but bags of drugs were left in plain site by the murderer and the police. 40 years later, I still wonder what really happen.
Crazy that I live 20 minutes from all this. There’s another case Jack Shultz that has been missing from Desoto Kansas for over 30 years. My fellow cross country team runs on a route named 95th and edgerton. That’s where jack used to live. This is where we run our long runs at. If you run far enough you can make it into Linwood or Eudora. My dad was a former police officer and worked on the cold case. One morning jack slept on the couch and his dad heard a honk at 5 am. Someone picked up jack and he never returned. People said that they saw him at a party the next night. Could he have been at party as Randy? My dad brought cadaver dogs and drained one of the ponds on this route. There was nothing. To this day the case is cold. And from what I know they didn’t even try on this case. Basically just gave up.
I read comments from his nephew and they believe Dan Flannagan is responsible for his disappearance too. Flannagan was with him the previous night according to the nephew’s comments. They were supposed to go to California together for work. Someone supposedly picked Schultz up at 5 am the next morning and he was never seen again. The nephew (Erich Schultz) said a detective later told him that his uncle’s id was found on Flannagan’s property.
There's someone who knows..especially when the ponds, creeks and rivers ect. have been ruled out! It's clear that the person with knowledge should at the very least come forward and give this family the closure they deserve. so they can at least lay their son to rest. its been 32 yrs !
It does seem fishy how so soon after Randy went missing a possible crime scene burned to the ground and another possible crime scene was never investigated. So sad.
As a father (I live in the UK) of a 6 year old boy this hit me hard. I guess Randy's family keep refreshing this page. I truly hope the family find their lad.
I began watching when Nicholas Allen was found, from all the way up here in Ontario Canada. I think you all are great for doing what you do. I pray for this dear family, that they will get some answers. ❤️
My heart absolutely breaks for this family, unfortunately missing person cases are left to sit with so many unanswered questions. My cousin has been missing since 9/26/11. To say I feel for this family is an understatement. I hope that someone provides them the closure they deserve.
I, too, understand what it feels like to have a beloved family member go missing. I’m sorry for what you’ve been experiencing and I am sorry that this family is also experiencing it. My heart is with each of each of you. 💔
The older couple are so loving, caring, and supportive toward each other. They have such sweet spirits even through all the misfortune of losing their son.
The fact that they didn’t identify the body parts that were found and it wasn’t ruled out that the body parts were him makes me think they did belong to him and this is a cover up. The car in my opinion is almost certainly somewhere in the Kansas river probably under the silt layer where the cadaver dogs sensed something.
I wonder what happened to those body parts? Maybe if they took DNA samples from them, they can test them and either rule them out as belonging to Randy or not. At least it will bring some closure to the family.
I know, I got up early this morning and remembered they were going to post the second half. I looked on TH-cam and saw that they had posted it 11 seconds before I looked for it. I was really hoping they would have answers for the family today. 😥
When Mrs. Leach said that the woman asked if she wanted a beer I got a feeling that the woman new something more then she wanted to lead on. And why didn't the police ask the guy who was in jail about what he was talking about the 30 years thing? The whole time I had a feeling that it wasn't a accident and he was killed. Im sorry watching these make me really not trust police. The police have let this family down and it makes me wanna cry.
If this flanigan character had a lot of car parts and stuff on his property back then he's the type of guy that would know how to disassemble and scrap a car without anybody knowing and with a big pig farm in the area at the time that's a perfect place to do dispose of a body because the pigs would have gotten rid of any evidence of a body being dumped
@@vis9340 don't faint in a pig enclosure. Pigs have been known to be used to rid a crime of its victim. something to think of when eating that juicy ham or those bacon strips. Sorry, but its true. I'm a vegetarian so not a problem for me.
At this point there should be an anonymous tip line so one of the people that knows what happened can at least let them know where the body is to see justice for their loss could never replace him but to know where his remains are they could give him a proper burial someone that knows please make an anonymous tip please
I agree💯% ! But make the tip line somewhere other than law enforcement! A private person's tip line! I love how people are stepping up to help each other out, when law enforcement doesn't do their job!! They do say anonymous tips can be made to Jared's p.o. box!
RIP dear Mr Leach...A beautiful family ...I hope you are holding Randy in your loving arms and can guide the wonderful Adventure s with Purpose to bring him home for Alberta 😭❤️❤️Much love and respect
Oh my god, this is heartbreaking... Adventures With Purpose, Thank you for giving these parents some answers - even just clearing areas that hadn't been checked.. Hopefully someone, with even the smallest bit of information, gets in contact with you - that could lead to something huge.. No one deserves to go through this many years of knowing absolutely nothing about their child and how or why they disappeared... Jared, Sam and Dan, thank you for what you do!! Best wishes from Co Dublin Ireland ☘️💖😊🇮🇪
Hey so I was watching something about him. TH-camr (Jerrie Dean). There’s spot where there’s a car in the woods right of the back road. I think you should go watch it and mark the place off. The video is called (Has google earth found the car of Randy Leach).
I can't give enough accolades for you guys. And for the rest of the world, this video my friends is the definition of portage. God bless you guys for all you do!
There was up to 150 people at the party.. You’d think someone would speak up 32 yrs later .. Obviously they have no conscience and love seeing his family in so much pain and living this nightmare for 32 yrs.
Hiya Jared & co. I'm absolutely addicted to your shows. It's a fantastic Service you all provide. I heard you say that there an AWP here in the UK. I'm in Scotland and never heard of anything like this. What a great team you have, from videos in the making to driving around USA, to showing compassion the families, friends as well as each other. Please keep safe. Best wishes from 🏴 Betty S.🏴 In bonny Scotland.
Randy has the sweetest parents that needs answers and one day they will know whether in this life or the next, God bless them and you guys for your kindness and hard work to this family.
I have messaged you guys on Facebook and I have some information I found online that I don’t know if you guys knew about I would like to get a hold of you
You guys are amazing. Keep doing what you do to bring missing loved ones home to the families who mourn and live with the pain of them being gone everyday of their lives. 🙏❤
You don’t see people gathered around the table much anymore... even though the conversation was sad, it was nice to see ... what a wonderful family ... Blessings to you all... prayers for the family
Still so horrible to go threw what families like this have. It's amazing to see people like you and your team dedicate so much of your life trying to bring lost souls home and closure for the loved one's. Hero's and Great Humans, I hope my son grows up to be men like you guy's. Thank you from a poor lonely fan with siblings that have passed away way to young. Keep up the amazing work and giving hope most of all and answers, closure for families and just letting folks like this great family there is other people who cares and willing to help.
@@TheBeingReal lmfao keep telling yourself that miserable human lol so glad im not wasting my life with hate and being a internet troll. Your gravestone would probably say, Internet Troll who spent his Life on the Net thinking he wasn't a sad human that trolled people spreading his hate and thinking he was right by wasting his life correcting spelling mistakes not considering that not everyone cares what others may think someone else interpret's a spelling mistake lmfao what a joke troll, so take your narcissistic behavior to someone who cares lmao 🤣 have fun wasting your life troll
I can't imagine what his family's been through for 32 years. My heart goes out to them!!!! I have 1 son and can't even understand how they feel or function day to day,so so sad!!
@adventures with Purpose. WOW. You all never cease to amaze me. What a loving bond you all made with this amazing family. Sam Sam the adventure man and Dan Dan the CAMERA man. Thank you. To this wonderful family keep the hope. You all are AMAZING.
Two questions I'd be asking: did law enforcement have any kids at that party (who may have been involved in Randy's disappearance), and was law enforcement getting a cut of the drug trade in their county? 🤔
And since he knew that one guy and that he tended to like a girl that was involved with drugs, it's not unlikely that he knew more of the whole drugs situation than he should have. The poor guy probably knew too much... I don't think they will ever find the car either. Maybe not even his remains. But let's hope for this wonderful family
You can tell these are good people, sending prayers to this family, they need closure! The fact the police did not search or question Flanagan, speaks volumes!! My gut tells me dirty cops helped cover this up bc Flanagan should’ve been investigated within the first 48 hrs! Thank you AWP for showing love & compassion to each investigation y’all cover! Merry Christmas & God Bless! 🙏
i feel that Flanagan character was a confidential informant for the cops and they gave him a get out of jail free card for it, covering it up to make drug arrests to feed their egos
Dirty characters like Flanagan don't survive for long, unless there's an inside connection. Quite possibly the cops were on "the take" of drug deals done by this character, and that's why nothing was ever resolved. Flanagan had a trump card when it came to covering up the crime.
I lived in Linwood and my brother was in Randy's class . So we have lived this sad story, all of our adult life. I am disappointed and appalled at the Leavenworth County Sherrif's Dept for the way this was handled. They mentally ruined some people by not investing their time in the investigation. They followed ridiculous leads instead of focusing on the area of the party. Just ask my brother. He was investigated and harassed by the so called authority. Unfortunately, Harold passed away, a few days ago. If LCSD had anything at all, to share with this family, they should have done it a long time ago. Not sure how those officers sleep at night.
@@melissavickery2236 Oh trust me on that.. and when you live in a small town and you don't have the money to get a good lawyer it's not right and the longer it goes on you really want to make them pay for it but even if you don't get any money out of it it would just the satisfaction that they got caught and they get in trouble I just keep praying and my heart goes out to these people and now that the father has passed away God bless them I hope they find something soon
I feel like right off the bat telling ppl who are looking for a missing person not to come back to your property when its a possible sight is red flags enough
Sounds like the authorities have been covering up or over looking alot over many years. Hopefully this story has a long awaited good ending and all those that know or have hidden evidence can all pay the price
Wow, I lost my father-in-law 3 years ago and to see Bill, it's like I'm looking right at him. Being 58 and having been my grandmother's pride and joy I've grown up with a HUGE respect fire our older citizens. My heart is ripped up knowing that Randy's parents, Harold and Alberta, will probably NEVER really know what happened to their only child. But if Randy is gone, they must have received some kind of peace knowing that they had an angel on their shoulders giving them the strength to hold fast all of these years. Wow a pig farm.... Anyone who knows how swine react to God knows that they are carnivorous and will eat ANYTHING... Easy way to dispose of a body. Flannigan could still have done this. This whole case smells of foul play. I totally agree with Jared.
This story just gets stranger and stranger as more details are told. Hopefully the case will be solved at some point. Harold and Alberta need answers. Jared, Sam, and Dan are truly special for jumping in to help as much as possible. Your videos keep getting better and better so keep up the good work! Only have one small criticism....Dan, you should have removed your hat while in the Leach home as a sign of respect. To people their age it matters. I realize you're young and probably didn't realize but try to keep it in mind in the future. Love you guys!
With the renewed support by viewers like you, Harold and Alberta have opened a GoFundMe in asking for help to further the search efforts of Randy. If you have the ability, please help them out and donate today. Thanks! www.gofundme.com/f/v9pnsr-in-search-of-randy-leach

@@PhilD22 You'll notice that we did make it up the river later in the video and searched under the bridge. It's the part after we spotted the car on the bank, before we went back to the car.
I donated it’s not much but may God bring your son home.
I prey they find out soon🥰 Love from Australia
if the pig farm was there back then is it a possibility randy was given to the pigs and the car was given to flannagan as they never checked his back yard the car could be there
Most marriages don't survive a missing child, but there's so much love and affection between those two. It's heartwarming.
I am watching with tears just running down my face - What a beautiful couple - and Jared ...The warmth shone through you
True 💕
Because what they have is true Love, love is not a feeling, it is a choice to care for another person regardless what they have to offer you, true love is unconditional. Any one can choose to Love someone that they don’t like.
Let's be honest, most marriages don't survive a missing t.v. remote these days.
I think it's more of that if they don't make it then their child is truly gone
I read that Harold Leach died in January not knowing the fate of his son. I do hope they were reunited in heaven.
@@aleesac5414 they said he could have been the victim of devil worshippers, an unwilling sacrifice.
@@andrealegonidec7057 my bad! thanks for correcting me
this is one of the reasons I really do hope heaven is real
I wish somehow Mr. Leach could tell his wife from beyond the answer he now knows.
God bless this mom now & bring her son home .Harold knows now .
As someone who has a cold case in the family, I know the wondering, thinking, grief weights heavy I life. My heart breaks for this family. The worse part is also the rumors,gossip and mean spirited people who cast questions about someone they might not know. Thank you for what you do, it isn’t easy work, and there aren’t always answers. But sometimes no answer is an answer.
🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
My family's cold case has gone even colder. God Bless this family for still holding each other with love and hope.

Agreed. To her it happened yesterday my heart goes out to this family
GOD BLESS them both🙏🏾🥲
Poor dear! 😥
@@marciakipp1137 in though you ment a animal but yup god bless
May God bless her and give her strength as days and years gpne by.
This is just so sad:(. During the last scene, while they're sitting down to dinner, you can see Randy's pictures on the front of the kitchen cabinets & all over. These poor people have lived almost their entire lives wondering what happened to their child & searching for him. They have never had any peace & that's just so sad. They never got to xperience their son going off & then graduating from college, or getting married & having children, all of the things that the rest of us parents get to enjoy. These kind & gracious people didn't deserve this. Life is just so unfair sometimes:(
Makes us appreciate how blessed we are x
I noticed those pictures too Linda. They love him so much and I'm sure Randy loved them. Too bad some evil people chose to harm Randy. His parents have tried so hard to get answers. Hopefully this case will be solved soon
Being an only child and kind of understanding if I left my family brings me a ton of pain.. watching this poor family. I want them to find the truth before they leave this world without knowing.. I want this to come to an end and see justice if this is indeed not an accident which even with all the stories being briefly talked about I bet you there is secrets in this community that need to be uprooted.
when you stop to think about it.....that is a long, long time to live in agony. They wake up each day and go to bed each night in stress about their missing son. They have to "live" it and suffer year in and year out.
Heartbreaking.
I will pray for Randy's body to be found! So that his parents can lay him to rest properly. This case breaks my heart! Sending love and light to his parents. RIP! Xx
Amen Linda. I'll be praying with you.
Joining with prayers 🙏❤
Amen. ❤ RIP sir!
There’s just too many things lining up that points to a cover up.
- Shows getting 0 cooperation from local authorities.
- Flanagan’s “30 years ago” statement
- Refusal to identify the found remains
- The arson a short time after the disappearance
- That Flanagan wasn’t investigated (even though that was last known location)
If it looks like a cover up. Smells like a cover up. I think we found ourselves a cover up.
This comment needs to be on top. I am suspecting the same thing, way too many knots pointing over a cover up. So upsetting for the family to have to go through this.
@@Vulsix yea i agree its really fishy plus ppl who knows what really happe are scare to speak were probally threatend or are helping to cover up
how fricken sad. This does smell of foul play somewhere along the lines! I was hoping for a more positive outcome dang it.
@@axelbueso5547 ESPECIALLY that it’s rumored how several have vanished/died who were close to “solving” this case is just straight obvious it’s a whole cover up. Upsets me to know the Justice System is sometimes controlled by crooks who coward behind each other to direct false statements or say they cannot speak of the case any longer when it’s stupid to do, like bro, that’s not even your family member; let alone child; so what would you think? That everyone will move on without further questioning investigation & the very sketchy conclusions? They sitting around for long & getting comfy it seems, with Flanagan giving such an obvious pointer. 😒 they know they got ‘partners’ on their side.
This is an entriging story. This smells like a cover up all over it. Why no real help from the police? If the car isn't under water, where is it? I pray closure is brought to this family.
This is definitely a cover up. Randy Leach is a name that we know all too well around here. The PD is still cautious when Randy is brought up. In this area, you have 100's upon 1000's of acres of woods as well as the river and surrounding ponds to keep in mind. God Bless the Leach's and you all for hearing their call. Hopefully the family and those in the community are able to get the closure that is needed.
I'm from olathe ks and me and my friends talk about this case all the time. We all have our different veiws on this and we all love missing person case's
Why has nobody reported those cops for not doing their jobs?! Report them to the state level to be investigated and real cops be brought into that department!
@@mazieg7072 cause no one would care that's why, they don't want the hassle, or it's a cover up for a cop
RIP Harold!! He is now with his son. Big hugs and prayers to Alberta!!! 💗
I just read that, Jami, and I am so, so sorry for Alberta and for Harold's family and friends. Such a dear, sweet man! I had hoped and prayed, as so many, that this precious couple would find answers and closure during their lifetimes. May it be found for Alberta now. Praying God will use quilt and conscience on the people that know something so they'll crack and share the truth they know.
Did not know. Harold and Randy are together again. Alberta will do the same .
🙏
Wait what. 😳sad time's
So sad
There is an open search going on right now for 2 young men and their dog that went missing in the Mississippi River at Vicksburg, Mississippi about 2 weeks ago. They found their boat, their lifejackets and their hunting bag. The boat motor foot had damage and the boat had a bad gash like it hit a rock jetty in the river. The boys haven't been located. The United Cajun Navy and the United Cajun Navy of Mississippi are on the river now actively searching for them. They are in need of someone with sidescan sonar. I wanted to reach out to you guys and let you guys know about the situation. The incident is on the United Cajun Navy Facebook page.
His email is on his youtube page under about. It is jared @ trevari dot com
How doesn't any Navy have that already?

I say the same thing every time I hear that too! Great minds....
Them reaching for eachothers hands those several times just melts my heart
The house where the party was the people had just moved in a short time before. Two months after his disappearance they've moved out the house burns two days in a row and they find remains in 3 burlap bags by the river in the same time period. I would go to state level to have the investigation reopened.
What if that was his body and LE didnt even bring him home when they had a chance? The truth is the cruelest when those who should be trusted with upholding our laws are breaking them???? And for what? What are they gaining in exchange? Nothing is worth the years of suffering for this family! Thank you AWP for bring this story to the present, making more people aware of this tragedy. (On a side note for financial reasons i had to cancel my membership. I’m still watching every single adventure. I hope to rejoin after New Years. $5 is not much coin to give to keep your adventures going each month.)
Or the FBI
Alberta has tried and was denied.
I'd contact someone over the local LE, obviously they have evidence that could be laboratory tested and known for sure. I would hate to think that they had Randy's body in those burlap bags for all these years and never tested those remains with all the advances we have available today. Someone above the locals needs to be contacted!
all way too suspicious, esp. the arson fire.
This team deserves to be recognized for the countless hours of dedication to help bring closure to so many families. God bless you and your families!

Randy might have saw something he shouldn't have, sending prayers to the family!
We released an episode a few month back trying to signal boost Randy's case. Thank you for selflessly putting in great work to try to help bring him home and bring attention to his story. I really hope this leads to closure for the family.
They were a family of hospitality. Well mannered and kind
This is obvious from how they treated the crew. Such a sad case. Hopefully one day his family will get closure.
Did any body that attending that party from years ago related to anyone in the police department or fire department! I think it’s really creepy that the police department and the fire department were so cold to these people about finding their son.!!!
I was thinking the same thing!
I'm sure there is a story there to be told. I think law enforcement in that town is hiding a lot of there own criminal activity. The Fire department included. Somehow this investigation would have exposed them. A graduation party in a small town would have been known about by many. For what ever reason I think the law was in on the drug delivery that day. Could have been a case of Randy knowing too much. His grandma's brother is a , or was a cop in another town. He should try to get a leak down the line from another cop. The cops don't want to spend time and money searching for someone when they already know where he is.
@@carlabryan277 I think he was driving intoxicated and ran into water. Very common and people at the party said he was acting under the influence
Its a small town, more than likely someone is related
@@aquarianlight1880 - in a small town, just about everyone is related to everyone else.

The Leach Family are the strongest people I’ve ever seen..The amount of pain & loss they have endured throughout the last 3 DECADES is astonishing. It’s so wrong. It’s gut wrenching. It’s inspiring. It’s absolutely unbelievable. They need answers. They need THE TRUTH FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT & they NEED justice for Randy. Sending prayers of continued strength & renewed hope. May The Lord help them have closure & peace. God Bless you Jared & Sam.

I’m a pond hopping bass angler and it’s so crazy to think about what could be at the bottom of so many ponds around the country.... You guys are so awesome. Keep up the good work! Truly inspirational
the FBI needs to interrogate the retired Detectives before they die
I agree..an outside agency need th o investigate both Randy's disappearance and the local law enforcement agency.
Yes with the possibility of a corrupt law enforcement entity if enough people push for the FBI to step in being as theres a large amount of drugs involved then they would possibly start looking at local law enforcement as allegedly being involved by allowing it to happen and getting money for their letting it happen i know of a few that have been caught for that very thing one of them was the older sheriff in my county so yes if they can get the county residents to band together speaking to the FBI as well as the state pd then it could push the FBI to finally step in
Wishful thinking, 0% chance the FBI would look into a cold case like this
@@A_New_View I have a friend in the FBI and he's a respectful and honerable man, don't label everyone with your distain
FBI is one of the most corrupt branches of government
When Jared read the article about the last time I did this was 30 years ago, my jaw literally dropped. This poor family. Someone definitely knows something. 😢
Just giving families who are missing a loved ones a forum to talk helps them so much. Your team is a group of heroes
I remember this when it happened. I lived close to the Leach’s. I have also lost a son in Topeka. There is nothing worse than losing a child. It never gets easier. Especially when there is no closure. God Bless this family. God Bless you and Sam. I pray God finds a way for closure for all of you. Thank You for what you’ve done ❤️🙏🏻
My thoughts and prayers go out to Alberta and Harold. I can’t imagine how they have carried on all these years. Thank you for helping them. Can’t believe they didn’t do more with the body parts they found. Not getting the help and cooperation from the law inforcement must make it so much harder on the family. Hope they finally get some answers.
Someone knows what happened. I hope this exposure re-highlights this case and someone comes forward. Yes, it is possible to call in an anonymous tip. Great job, guys! You cleared a lot of area in a couple of days. Hope someone can search that one piece of river, where the dogs hit, with GPR. Hoping this lovely family may be able to bring their son home soon. ❤️
Please please please to the Pearson who knows what happens to randy wmif you have concerns tell the police parents and the dive team were the car and boy is he had a hole life ahead of him a lovely looking lad his parents don't deserve it the want answers and a clouesevif if you have any guilt tell police department ana the spealist team who been helping the parents they need answers miss Susan cailceta 073897620120 44 01516450705
At the end of this my take away is that I hope that the river where the cadaver dogs signaled can be searched below the silt layer. There are still unanswered questions there. You guys did so much work on this and it's amazing to see. Your teams is doing amazing work.
👍
@Jeremy Mitchell I believe cadaver dogs can tell the difference between human and other remains. Also the magnetic detection machine showed an anomaly there too.
@Jeremy Mitchell I'm pretty sure that they are only supposed to hit on human remains, but I am not sure. Hmmm.. guess I have something to check into! Lol
@Jeremy Mitchell I disagree cadaver dogs are trained to identify HUMAN remains so other remains will not be indicated by the dogs.
@Jeremy Mitchell cadaver dogs only alert to human scent… Animals or fish would not set them off… And that older man said that the old cemetery the dogs alerted to so if they can sense DEF from decades previous that’s pretty amazing
Omg the police did these parents so much wrong. I'm wondering if a kid or nephew from a cop had something to do with this case. This is so wrong. I hope they get answers before they die. Bless them. Thank you for your service guys. At least there are area's cleared out now.
That is what I am thinking too.
Right? Or the police officer themselves? The officer was drinking and driving then hit & killed him? Or pulled him over, lost his temper & shot or beat him dead? Something strange because there's too much defensiveness here on the police side of things
Aweful speculations of police when these commentors don’t even know the police facts.
@@irisheyes5890 everybody is entitled to their own opinion based on the evidence they've heard. Yet, I'm sure there is a lot more to the story that we havnt heard...
Probably covering up a murder
How heartbreaking 32 years they've been waiting. Stiil waiting.
This is such a cover up I really hate when there are corrupt law enforcement involved. It sounds like they want to hurt the parents to keep them from asking questions. I really feel for this family. Noone deserves to be treated this way. I hope these videos will get other people and other law enforcement involved and they can get some answers for this family. We are thinking about you all the time. Bring Randy Home!!!!
I have to agree on the Corruption of law enforcement we've had something like that down here in Canadian Texas not too long ago! y'all will find him.
When a child goes missing or dies ,it is extremely hard to overcome .I hope this couple is able to find their son before 1 of them dies ..I hope ALL of their needs are met !
These poor people need closure. You can tell they are getting old and may not have a lot of time left. Feel so sad for them.
Appreciate all you do to help people. You guys are heaven sent.❤❤❤
Suzann Churchwell all I can think about is the peace they will both have when they are met by their son on their way to heaven. There’s no way he’s still alive
Yes, you are right. That will be a wonderful day. 😇
The missing person AND the car would've been found long ago if this was an accident. It seems obvious to me he was murdered. Pressure needs to be put on the police to investigate the guy's property where the car was last seen or hire a P.I.
They did the p.I was murder
I agree.
@@serenarod812 what the Pi was murdered? I did not catch that. Very suspicious thing in it's self. Not to mention the pi license was looked at. Like someone wanted to road block this PI.
The FBI needs to get involved this is obviously a cover up by small town cops
Right! My thoughts were that flannigan was in league with the local PD, probably slingling drugs to some of the law enforcement, he got mad and killed Randy and bc the law enforcement officials were privy to flannigans shady dealings, they helped him cover up the killing to save their asses. That's the only logical scenario that makes sense to me
One thing is for sure these recovery divers are a God send to the families of the missing..I pray for your continued success in finding these people..God Bless You
Was the pig farm there when he disappeared? Thats an easy way to get rid of a body, pigs eat everything
Yes all these stories n running these guys in everydirection....Need more searchers..❤❤❤❤❤
You are correct to what you are saying if the pig farm was there that many years ago. Pigs eat everything even bone! Because a pigs stomach is the only stomach that I know of on earth that can break down the bones because of its stomach acid.
@@justingraham2109 hyena as well
That was my instant thoughts aswell definatly worth more research into that pig farm. Who owned it had access what equipment they had etc.
@@justingraham2109 Sharks (like the Great White) do as well. Just thought I'd add that in there, lol.
I wonder if the family has checked whether or not Flannigan has any close relatives on the Police Dept....I heard the older gentleman you interviewed say that he would never think Flannigan would do that, but people said the same thing about Chris Watts. I guess is Flannigan has a lot more to do with this poor kid being missing.
I agree
I believe so
The ones that you wouldn’t feel would do something like this are usually the ones that will be the first to do it!
Yea it sounds like that or a offices kid was there
Cover up for sure
I also have a brother who was found hanging from a tree w his hands and feet tied behind his back... It was deemed a "suicide" by police. I also have another brother who has been missing for 30yrs. Totally unconnected.
Crappy world we live in.
Just to show how dilligent police are about solving crimes... My van was stolen and a year later the sheriff called to ask if i had found my van.
So sorry for your troubles.
@Chester, You're story makes me never want to complain again. God bless you !
So sorry to hear this I’ll keep u in my prayers ❤️😭xxx
Oh sorry for yr lose😔
Your brother didn’t commit suicide he wouldn’t tie his own hands and feet
I remember when this happened, because I am from Leavenworth, Kansas - right down the road. I didn't know Randy, but it was just so surreal. I am not a religious person but I do offer up love and light to Alberta and Harold in hopes that they will get the closure they so need. Thank you to the entire Adventures With Purpose team for shedding some light on previously unanswered questions. Stay safe and keep searching for those that are lost. 💗🌻
Amy please contact the directors of aventures purposes and see if it’s possible that they could use a drone and to scan and search the area of the property of where that home was the scene of the crime/ the burned home since you’re close and nearby there maybe you could serve some type of purpose in the investigation of this case,thank you.
You are poking a bear. Somewhere, somebody is alive with a memory that won't quit. Hit 'em again!If one person is silent, it's up to the person who has a little memory ... a memory upon which so much is still riding. Somebody is alive, and knows.
I worry about the safety of those who would come around and "poke the bear'.
I’m sure that these people who want to report to law enforcement about Randy’s whereabouts & the person or people involved in Randy’s disappearance, maybe has a death threat against them & their loved ones, if caught snitching the mother ****er(s) out to law enforcement.
You guys are great!!! Watching you all the way from Italy 🇮🇹. What's leaves me perplexed at times is the way local police officers/sheriffs are treating You. Out of 10 3 are giving you the respect you deserve; 5 they allow you to do the job only because they have no choices but not to happy to have you around, and 2 are just some piece of work.
I can’t stop thinking about the woman saying, “Mrs. Leach, can I get you a beer?” From everything I’ve read about her, she seems so sketchy. I’m learning so many new things about the case from these videos. I hope Mr. and Mrs. Leach find answers.
I had same thought
I agree as well
@@TheBustedNut and the triple arson
I definitely agree it seems a bit off
I agree and why after months later the house got burned sounds like they wanted to cover up some evidence in the house maybe they ditched Randy’s vehicle but his body was hidden inside the house somewhere or Flanagan property. Something is fishy. Hope and pray the family gets answers soon.
I would love to see you guys have your own tv show on tv... I would totally watch you guys every week. I love yall, and love what yall do...
What you guys do is amazing. You are being a great service to families of missing people and helping clear the cold cases backload.
Wonderful bunch of guy's.
It's nice to see someone use this platform for something good. It's great that you use the monetary aspect of youtube to help you do such a great service! God speed!
A outside detective needs to look into a head sherif and investigator and also one of the firemen from the original time of this
When we look at the number of views your stories on Randy Leach have garnered, we have to hope something good comes from this. With more people aware of the story and on the alert, it's possible more leads will pop up. It's possible someone will find evidence that relates to the case to help get it solved. I just read Randy's father, Harold Leach, passed away yesterday. I grieve with all who are grieving this dear man. I had prayed Randy's parents would get the answers and closure they were seeking before they passed. Hoping still this will occur in Alberta Leach's lifetime. So very thankful for the time and attention you have given Randy's story. You have done your best, explored every possibility and given your all. Heartfelt thanks to this fine team. Keep doing what you do. It makes a difference.
Hopefully in Heaven!!!
Amen 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I'm highly disturbed that a teenager goes missing and the local law enforcement didn't even search the property his car was parked at. secondly ther're investigating the private investigator the family hires, why wouldn't you welcome him with open arms?
I'm guessing drug money funds the police there...
no local pd wants to be shown up by out of towners, esp. when they are private citizens doing the job of the authorities.
Maybe the cops and Flannigan had a deal. “You don’t harass me about this kid and I won’t blow your coverup on the underground drug trafficking”.
FOIA time people for all agencies involved, KBI, police, sheriff, Fire, EMT.
Usually, in a case like this the corruption goes all the way up the ladder (sad to say). I'm going to pray for this dear, sweet family. One day they will be reunited with Randy and there will be no evil force that will ever separate them again. And those responsible for his demise will have to stand before Their Maker and be held accountable (wouldn't wanna be in their shoes!) x0x0
I love how AWP is so gentle with the families. They deserve their own TV show. I truly hope this family gets some answers 💕🇨🇦
The comment of Flanagan about not being as angry as he was (when he killed his girlfriend) in over 30 years has so much weight to it. That’s more than enough to warrant an interview, and Police could play psychological tricks on Flanagan by saying “we now have enough evidence to get you a further life sentence, however the jail term will be reduced if you tell us where to find Randy”. Flanagan thinking he’s making a plea when his comment indicates that the guilt is still a burden now, needs added pressure to get the answers.
The police seem to be involved in this somehow or the governing officials or their family members somehow the whole town is tight lipped and the police run people out of town if they find out they are helping
Its the whole town like you said but its a bad vibe around there while they were at the town...…
Not sure of his current sentence but if it’s already life the da could offer immunity in exchange for answers to that. I’m sure the family would just like closure vs a drawn out court case.
OweyJ20 that is going to be a problem. If Flanagan has anything to do with the disappearance of Randy Leach then he is some how connected to the police cover up.
It's police/sheriff's like this that really give police a bad reputation. The good old boys network should be dismantled. I strongly believe that 99% of the police in this country are good and fair people, but when things like this are going on, it slowly erodes the trust and respect that the public has given to the force. I sincerely hope that someone steps forward and helps this family out. Maybe once these old detectives and officers retire, the new ones can step up and solve it... or maybe they'll grow a spine and heart and offer up the information they've gathered and tell them what they know.
You hit the nail on the head. The Leachs need answers and the good ole boys network is refusing to give any answers.
I live in a rural county in the mid-Atlantic. Our Sheriff's Department has a Facebook page and is always posting pics of deputies by name doing good things, including having caught a criminal, along with all sorts of community safety information. I find it strange and telling that in 2020 the Leavenworth KS Sheriff Department doesn't have Facebook page of their own and on the county page there are only 2 posts from the Sheriff in the last month, both announcing traffic enforcement weekends accompanied by the same photo of a police car. Jeez, not all cops are undercover, why are they so antisocial?
@@GlamorganManor I think that the old guard is stuck in their ways and they refuse to advance or move into the 21st century. On top of maintaining their good ole boy network
Just found y'all recently and wanted to tell you how much I enjoy watching what you are doing. You are providing a wonderful service to families who've lost loved ones where the authorities can't seem to locate them. I admire you and wish you all the best...Bec from Knoxville, TN
So sad I cried watching this.
Decades ago, my brother was the unofficial leader of a group that was involved in small time drug dealing. It came to pass that if my brother said something about someone or something that he liked or disliked, a corresponding action would occur soon after. Examples: They were at a bar in a different state and he said he absolutely loved the bar top. Month later when he came back from a trip, that bar was in his house. Another time he made comments about a guy that was being a real &$$&)#@ to him. A week later that guy was "mugged" and ended up in the hospital in critical condition.
So, just because this guy said he didn't do it, doesn't mean his friends didn't.
Sounds like a sub plot of the book Lincoln Lawyer. The friends located a suspected offender and were beating him. Matthew Machonehey walked away saying I need him in the ICU, not the morgue. So, maybe your story can add some logic to this. Small towns have their own judicial system.
Either way, this family is searching for closure. Naysayers have a way of influencing families in that closure is a myth.
But it isn’t.
@@janiceseaver7301 closure is always tough. At 24, someone entered my brothers home and shot him in the head. Police knew he was a small time drug dealer so little to no investigation was done. Cash was taken but bags of drugs were left in plain site by the murderer and the police. 40 years later, I still wonder what really happen.
Crazy that I live 20 minutes from all this. There’s another case Jack Shultz that has been missing from Desoto Kansas for over 30 years. My fellow cross country team runs on a route named 95th and edgerton. That’s where jack used to live. This is where we run our long runs at. If you run far enough you can make it into Linwood or Eudora. My dad was a former police officer and worked on the cold case. One morning jack slept on the couch and his dad heard a honk at 5 am. Someone picked up jack and he never returned. People said that they saw him at a party the next night. Could he have been at party as Randy? My dad brought cadaver dogs and drained one of the ponds on this route. There was nothing. To this day the case is cold. And from what I know they didn’t even try on this case. Basically just gave up.
Do you know how old Jack was at the time of his disappearance?
@@crystaldockery7308 I do not
I read comments from his nephew and they believe Dan Flannagan is responsible for his disappearance too. Flannagan was with him the previous night according to the nephew’s comments. They were supposed to go to California together for work. Someone supposedly picked Schultz up at 5 am the next morning and he was never seen again. The nephew (Erich Schultz) said a detective later told him that his uncle’s id was found on Flannagan’s property.
@@crystaldockery7308 he was 37 when he went missing in November 1994.
So Flanagan is a known murdered and all of these tie together with him! I'm done.
Thank you for your patience with the elders, and your diligence in the search.
There's someone who knows..especially when the ponds, creeks and rivers ect. have been ruled out! It's clear that the person with knowledge should at the very least come forward and give this family the closure they deserve. so they can at least lay their son to rest. its been 32 yrs !
In a case like this, that "someone" is perhaps known to be a "someone" to not mess with if you don't want the same fate.
I feel this is gonna be one of those cases that they take to the grave, that or tell on thier last breath, so sad
It does seem fishy how so soon after Randy went missing a possible crime scene burned to the ground and another possible crime scene was never investigated. So sad.
As a father (I live in the UK) of a 6 year old boy this hit me hard. I guess Randy's family keep refreshing this page. I truly hope the family find their lad.
I began watching when Nicholas Allen was found, from all the way up here in Ontario Canada.
I think you all are great for doing what you do.
I pray for this dear family, that they will get some answers.
❤️
My heart absolutely breaks for this family, unfortunately missing person cases are left to sit with so many unanswered questions. My cousin has been missing since 9/26/11. To say I feel for this family is an understatement. I hope that someone provides them the closure they deserve.
Praying
❤️
So sorry to hear about your cousin xx thoughts are with you & your family
I, too, understand what it feels like to have a beloved family member go missing. I’m sorry for what you’ve been experiencing and I am sorry that this family is also experiencing it. My heart is with each of each of you. 💔
So sorry! I hope you all get answers as to what happened and where your cousin is. 🙏🏼
The older couple are so loving, caring, and supportive toward each other. They have such sweet spirits even through all the misfortune of losing their son.
I hope they will find Randy and bring him home to his loved ones. Its never easy losing a loved one especially a child.
The fact that they didn’t identify the body parts that were found and it wasn’t ruled out that the body parts were him makes me think they did belong to him and this is a cover up. The car in my opinion is almost certainly somewhere in the Kansas river probably under the silt layer where the cadaver dogs sensed something.
This is such a huge piece of the puzzle. Sue that police department and get the Feds involved.
I wonder what happened to those body parts? Maybe if they took DNA samples from them, they can test them and either rule them out as belonging to Randy or not. At least it will bring some closure to the family.
I recon cops could of eaisly got rid of a car if they wanted to
Very corrupt
Ryan Black I think your right.
Aww what a sweet woman to welcome yous and feed you all, such an endearing couple I pray their prayers are answered, thank yous all!
Such a sweet couple, god bless them, I hope they end up with answers.
Man was really hoping they found him my hearts hurting for them
I know, I got up early this morning and remembered they were going to post the second half. I looked on TH-cam and saw that they had posted it 11 seconds before I looked for it. I was really hoping they would have answers for the family today. 😥
Sending prayers to the family in their search for answers. That cow was really answering sam
When Mrs. Leach said that the woman asked if she wanted a beer
I got a feeling that the woman new something more then she wanted to lead on. And why didn't the police ask the guy who was in jail about what he was talking about the 30 years thing?
The whole time I had a feeling that it wasn't a accident and he was killed.
Im sorry watching these make me really not trust police. The police have let this family down and it makes me wanna cry.
Me too
Same
How deep are cops involved cause honestly they could be best at making things disappear
I totally agree
Some cops have the best intentions, but many are corrupt masons, that hold tremendous power and prestige with evil people. Crazy sad times
If this flanigan character had a lot of car parts and stuff on his property back then he's the type of guy that would know how to disassemble and scrap a car without anybody knowing and with a big pig farm in the area at the time that's a perfect place to do dispose of a body because the pigs would have gotten rid of any evidence of a body being dumped
... so pigs are carnivores too ⁉️🙀⁉️
@@vis9340 pigs eat anything and everything
@@judygrobowsky6291 ... wow, I didn’t know this 😕❗️
@@vis9340 don't faint in a pig enclosure. Pigs have been known to be used to rid a crime of its victim. something to think of when eating that juicy ham or those bacon strips. Sorry, but its true. I'm a vegetarian so not a problem for me.
Vi S pigs will eat you alive even your bones
Jared, you guys have to help these beautiful people. Don't give up please. They are such touching people they need closure.
The quality of your videos and editing are phenomenal, thank you for what you do, Awesome job.
I love the people in the Midwest,,, truly the heart of the Country❤️
Watching this ep from a cottage here in Sweden and this ep is the best I’ve seen so far. What a loving family and you guys are so warm and gentle.
You gave these people hope and the feeling we care. And we do care.
This is one of the things that parents should never have to deal with.
At this point there should be an anonymous tip line so one of the people that knows what happened can at least let them know where the body is to see justice for their loss could never replace him but to know where his remains are they could give him a proper burial someone that knows please make an anonymous tip please
I agree💯% ! But make the tip line somewhere other than law enforcement! A private person's tip line! I love how people are stepping up to help each other out, when law enforcement doesn't do their job!! They do say anonymous tips can be made to Jared's p.o. box!
Agreed! And fliers put around all of the town making the locals aware of the anonymous tip line.
Sounds like higher up authority needs involved still today
RIP dear Mr Leach...A beautiful family ...I hope you are holding Randy in your loving arms and can guide the wonderful Adventure s with Purpose to bring him home for Alberta 😭❤️❤️Much love and respect
Oh my god, this is heartbreaking... Adventures With Purpose, Thank you for giving these parents some answers - even just clearing areas that hadn't been checked.. Hopefully someone, with even the smallest bit of information, gets in contact with you - that could lead to something huge.. No one deserves to go through this many years of knowing absolutely nothing about their child and how or why they disappeared... Jared, Sam and Dan, thank you for what you do!! Best wishes from Co Dublin Ireland ☘️💖😊🇮🇪
The Kansas River is a sand moving machine. 30 yrs of silt being moved could bury a house easily.
Hey so I was watching something about him. TH-camr (Jerrie Dean). There’s spot where there’s a car in the woods right of the back road. I think you should go watch it and mark the place off. The video is called (Has google earth found the car of Randy Leach).
I can't give enough accolades for you guys. And for the rest of the world, this video my friends is the definition of portage. God bless you guys for all you do!
I bet whoever was with him at the party knows what happen. Thats a sorry excuse for anyone who called him friend. Prayers for family
There was up to 150 people at the party.. You’d think someone would speak up 32 yrs later .. Obviously they have no conscience and love seeing his family in so much pain and living this nightmare for 32 yrs.
Hiya Jared & co.
I'm absolutely addicted to your shows. It's a fantastic Service you all provide.
I heard you say that there an AWP here in the UK. I'm in Scotland and never heard of anything like this.
What a great team you have, from videos in the making to driving around USA, to showing compassion the families, friends as well as each other.
Please keep safe.
Best wishes from
🏴 Betty S.🏴 In bonny Scotland.
Randy has the sweetest parents that needs answers and one day they will know whether in this life or the next, God bless them and you guys for your kindness and hard work to this family.
I have messaged you guys on Facebook and I have some information I found online that I don’t know if you guys knew about I would like to get a hold of you
What'd you find
You guys are amazing. Keep doing what you do to bring missing loved ones home to the families who mourn and live with the pain of them being gone everyday of their lives. 🙏❤
You don’t see people gathered around the table much anymore... even though the conversation was sad, it was nice to see ... what a wonderful family ... Blessings to you all... prayers for the family
Still so horrible to go threw what families like this have. It's amazing to see people like you and your team dedicate so much of your life trying to bring lost souls home and closure for the loved one's. Hero's and Great Humans, I hope my son grows up to be men like you guy's. Thank you from a poor lonely fan with siblings that have passed away way to young. Keep up the amazing work and giving hope most of all and answers, closure for families and just letting folks like this great family there is other people who cares and willing to help.
Through, not threw. 😆

I can't imagine what his family's been through for 32 years. My heart goes out to them!!!! I have 1 son and can't even understand how they feel or function day to day,so so sad!!
@adventures with Purpose. WOW. You all never cease to amaze me. What a loving bond you all made with this amazing family. Sam Sam the adventure man and Dan Dan the CAMERA man. Thank you. To this wonderful family keep the hope. You all are AMAZING.
Thank you so much!
Two questions I'd be asking: did law enforcement have any kids at that party (who may have been involved in Randy's disappearance), and was law enforcement getting a cut of the drug trade in their county? 🤔
And since he knew that one guy and that he tended to like a girl that was involved with drugs, it's not unlikely that he knew more of the whole drugs situation than he should have.
The poor guy probably knew too much... I don't think they will ever find the car either. Maybe not even his remains. But let's hope for this wonderful family
Two excellent, succint questions!
Prayers go out to the parents of Randy ...it so sad ... thx you gor all your royalty guys..the dedications is absolutly a blessing ..
You can tell these are good people, sending prayers to this family, they need closure! The fact the police did not search or question Flanagan, speaks volumes!! My gut tells me dirty cops helped cover this up bc Flanagan should’ve been investigated within the first 48 hrs! Thank you AWP for showing love & compassion to each investigation y’all cover! Merry Christmas & God Bless! 🙏
i feel that Flanagan character was a confidential informant for the cops and they gave him a get out of jail free card for it, covering it up to make drug arrests to feed their egos
Dirty characters like Flanagan don't survive for long, unless there's an inside connection. Quite possibly the cops were on "the take" of drug deals done by this character, and that's why nothing was ever resolved. Flanagan had a trump card when it came to covering up the crime.
Is it bizarre that details like bags of body parts, arson, etc., weren't included in the original information given?
Something is def. fishy!!
Dirty Cops & local politicians getting big side check not to bust the drug ring! jmo
@@Buttertoast665 yep. It happens everywhere and not enough people are morally correct people to fix it that have the power to fix it
I lived in Linwood and my brother was in Randy's class . So we have lived this sad story, all of our adult life. I am disappointed and appalled at the Leavenworth County Sherrif's Dept for the way this was handled. They mentally ruined some people by not investing their time in the investigation. They followed ridiculous leads instead of focusing on the area of the party. Just ask my brother. He was investigated and harassed by the so called authority. Unfortunately, Harold passed away, a few days ago. If LCSD had anything at all, to share with this family, they should have done it a long time ago. Not sure how those officers sleep at night.
@@melissavickery2236 Oh trust me on that.. and when you live in a small town and you don't have the money to get a good lawyer it's not right and the longer it goes on you really want to make them pay for it but even if you don't get any money out of it it would just the satisfaction that they got caught and they get in trouble I just keep praying and my heart goes out to these people and now that the father has passed away God bless them I hope they find something soon
My heart goes out to these parents, and these good people who are helping 32 years later..
I feel like right off the bat telling ppl who are looking for a missing person not to come back to your property when its a possible sight is red flags enough
Sounds like the authorities have been covering up or over looking alot over many years. Hopefully this story has a long awaited good ending and all those that know or have hidden evidence can all pay the price
That police department needs to be reported to the state to be investigated! Bad cops need to be thrown off the force!!
Oh karma to all who know something or refused to help and covered up evidence.
Wow, I lost my father-in-law 3 years ago and to see Bill, it's like I'm looking right at him. Being 58 and having been my grandmother's pride and joy I've grown up with a HUGE respect fire our older citizens. My heart is ripped up knowing that Randy's parents, Harold and Alberta, will probably NEVER really know what happened to their only child. But if Randy is gone, they must have received some kind of peace knowing that they had an angel on their shoulders giving them the strength to hold fast all of these years. Wow a pig farm.... Anyone who knows how swine react to God knows that they are carnivorous and will eat ANYTHING... Easy way to dispose of a body. Flannigan could still have done this. This whole case smells of foul play. I totally agree with Jared.
This story just gets stranger and stranger as more details are told. Hopefully the case will be solved at some point. Harold and Alberta need answers. Jared, Sam, and Dan are truly special for jumping in to help as much as possible. Your videos keep getting better and better so keep up the good work! Only have one small criticism....Dan, you should have removed your hat while in the Leach home as a sign of respect. To people their age it matters. I realize you're young and probably didn't realize but try to keep it in mind in the future. Love you guys!
