============
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.
In this episode of Adventures with Purpose, we travel to Linwood, Kansas 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.
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.

This young man needs to be brought home to this precious husband and wife
I got the merch I love your videos
@@arrowheadhunter420 where did you post this photo?
I live in lawrence and im not sure if this means anything but i love your videos. I cant believe you guys are so close to my home. But there was a flood in 93 so take that how you will. I will stay tuned on this and provide what i know
I will check on my end of things in the data bases again.
All these years later, Mother still cries. The loss and pain doesn’t go away.
"Not knowing is always worse than knowing the worst."
Heartbreaking.
It never does if you don't know that guilt and pain and heartbreak will never go away until the day you die

My paternal grandmother (my best friend) lost her son at the age of four. My dad was born in 1935, so it happened prior to that. He ran across the street because my grandad was over there.
After my dad passed away, I was going through some of his things. Among the paperwork, photos and newspaper clippings, was the funeral home bill...for $50.00.
My grandmother never got over the loss. I’ve almost lost my daughter twice. I can’t imagine...
They are living a nightmare every single day. My heart breaks for them.
I can't imagine not knowing where my son is for 32 years. Her pain is palpable. My heart goes out to this family.
Me too. So sad and devastating.. 😢🙏
My deep empathy to you & all the fam... I wish the best to you all
Hi MaryBeth.
Right. "Palpable" has to be the right word, to describe the Mother/Grandmother. My heart, also goes out to this Family, also. 😢😢
Hopefully, after 32 Years of this person Missing, that Somebody can find answers, and give this Family, some Much needed Closure".
May God, give this Family Grace, and the Will to be Strong, and Keep the Faith", through this Horrible Situation.
Agreed. The heartbreak must be unbearable. If I recall, Randy was their only child. Saddening.
Did the psychic have time to get someone to scratch in the dirt the message Randy was here? There are a lot of deceptive tactics psychics use to induce credibility.
My sister went missing in 1974 at 25 yrs old. I still look for her when I am out hoping shes still alive. You never give up and continue to hope. My heart goes out to this family. ❤
I understand your pain... I will pray that Our Father Almighty help you locate her. Have faith. God said, “Ask abd you shall receive”.
Blessings 🙏
God Bless You. Just said a little Hope Prayer for you Kresta.
@@lilymargaret447 Thank you. Many blessings to you. ❤❤

What happened? Maybe you can share details and someone may know something
Unsure if you are aware or not, but Harold unfortunately passed away today. My heart breaks to know he passed without ever knowing what happened to his son, but they are finally reunited again after so long.
So sad, R.I.P.
Oh no.. how tragic 😔
Tragic every family deserves to know the truth about there loved ones please someone give information
They’re together again in Paradise.
He knows now❤️
Only 5 mins in and Mr and Mrs Leach are wonderful people, I hope they get resolution.
😔🥺 heartbreaking to imagine no closure so many years.
Yes, They are wonderful people. You know their son is loved by the whole family.
Agreed 100% im hoping so hard they find randy
10 minutes in, and they prove to be religious morons....sad
Amazing couple.
I was a police officer in the 80'S. It was a 2nd decade of hell. There was so much of a different mentality and so many directions to go with keeping up with cases. No money for the local government and a lot of auxilliary policemen. I am happy to see the word get out there about these cases. AWP, you bring puzzle pieces out to the world and enough puxxle pieces can solve a puzzle. I think you guys are legit. Thanks for sharing with the world.
Thank you
Too sweet..ty too...🇨🇦
Why is your name old fart are you like a old jokester or some thin
Just came across How great work your doing You are a blessing
Let me just say that you are a brave man oldfart43311 for admitting your profession. I'm from Canada and lived in the southwest rural areas of Kansas City, KS during the late 80's and early 90's. My eyes were opened so wide that they were almost popping out of my head at the things I heard and saw. I ca just imagine what you went through yourself on a daily basis.
I personally know the family, thank you for all your help. I went to school with Randy. Miss him.
Mary Stiltner: try speaking to Randy's spirit, to see if he responds to you? Ya never know. He might be wanting to reach out to someone who knew him.
Would you mind sharing what rumors were going around about his disappearance? There must have been talk among those your age at that time.
Everyone please be safe and blessed and keep this family in our prayers😔😔😔
Wait off topic but that’s cool we almost have the same last name lol
@@jordanstiltoner2915 very off topic but that is kinda cool
My father worked for Mr Leach on his dairy farm outside Linwood in the early 80's. I remember him from when he was a little boy. Prayers for the family to find the answer to what happened to him.
This is not the first murder Leavenworth County Sheriff brushed off in Linwood
I love that when families tell stories he's not afraid to hold their hand or comfort them. 💓
Your right. I’ve a strong tugging that he is an empath 🙏🏻
And even though he doesn't want to, he's not afraid to shed tears. Takes a strong man to let people see that.
❤💓
right so concerned ...and then moments later he asks them to show the pigeon photos. totally unnecessary they shouldn't have to go through every painful detail just for the audience sake
My son drowned in a quarry in June 1988, luckily he was hanging with friends and was found later that night. God bless this family.
Sending prayers and condolences to you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m so sorry Sue. I’m a mom with only one son. I can’t imagine losing my son. I wish you the best sue.
So very sorry for your loss.
So very sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss❤️
Harold passed away this morning. 😢
Praying for Alberta.
🙏🙏💖💖
😥
how do you know that harold passed away
@@lusfamily7229 There Facebook page and also Adventures with a purpose had a community post about it. You can also google it.
Saying a prayer for her and the entire family. Her tears are heard and counted by God. God bless her heart. 🌹
Bless them. Praying for Alberta 💕
The fact that the police refused to investigate screams cover-up.
These guys are so respectful to the families and sympathetic to their loss. Handle themselves professionally and really work to find solutions where law enforcement has failed to. Such an incredible group.
Jared is a slick engineer of a situation. If a guy can make a boat out of cardboard boxes .....he has some ingenuity He also has enthusiasm, ability, willingness and a heart for those poor souls who are without anyone to care about them anymore. He and Sam come to the "rescue" just like any other "super heroes". All they are missing are some silky capes with a big, AWP on the back. "Here they come to save the day.....we know that AWP is on the waaaaaayyyyyy". Watch out Spider Man, there's a new hero in town and it's surf and turf. (Sam and Jared).
@@vikkinicholson5880 JARED,SAM AND DAN DAN THE CAMERA MAN....YES...!!!OUR HEROES...!!!
I can't thank you Jared, Sam and everyone else that helped, enough. We greatly appreciate all you tried to do, to help Harold, Alberta and the Linwood residents. We greatly appreciated you and your team! God bless you!
Thanks Jerri for meeting up with us and taking care of food.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose Did Randy have a girlfriend or love interest at the time of his disappearance? Is it possible he left the party to see this person? If so, does that change what direction he might have headed in?

Linwood United, let's solve this
@@marystiltner4520 🙏💖🙏
10 years ago my dad committed suicide. The first responders told me "if you wouldnt have stopped at mcdonalds on your way home he would of lived" I was 17. I stopped because he told me on the phone he hadn't eaten. I bought him nuggets. Thinking he would be glad to have them. This may seem incredibly off topic. However just wanted some back story to say it moved me watching you hold that mothers hand so tightly as she painfully told you her story. It may seem so small but that support means the world. You're incredible at your job, and an incredible man. Thank you for doing the best you can to make a difference in these peoples hardest times. Hopefully other first responders are seeing your videos and will follow your lead. So future teenage mes have someone yo hold their hand in their hardest times.
My mum tried to commit suicide ,I remember the night before when I rang her she said she had a headache ,I told her take some paracetamol and she laughed .couldn’t get hold of her the next morning ,so I sent my husband round while I got dressed .he found her on the floor she had taken many paracetamol and half bottle of brandy .she did survive but her organs were damaged and she did suffer later in life because of it .she often used to say you should’ve let me go I’m a nuisance to you now .I would always say suicide is the most selfish thing you could’ve ever done to me ,I don’t care about how hard it is help you .it gave me a chance to really get to find out how she ticked ,I’m grateful for my extra time with her however hard it was sometimes .I can’t imagine the pain some people go through when a loved one commits suicide .....
I'm so sorry they would have even said that. Sorry for your loss.
The first responders should have never said such a thing to you. It was cruel and disgusting. I’m so sorry what you have been through.
It was certainly not your fault.
I wish you peace.
Saw that and i could tell it gave her great feel
sorry he told you that but it's not your fault. Some people say ignorant things we just need to make sure what they say has no major effect on us. sad but true
"We follow all leads" man, you're amount of respect you have for these families. Thank you for doing what you do
this is unbelievable, these people are helping solve cases like finding missing people and stuff, AND THEY DONT EVEN HAVE 1 MILLION SUBS?!?!?!?!?!
They're very close though!
They are not gamers or make up channels. Most of the new generation doesn't care about anything like this. but 793k subs is A LOT of people. The other channels with millions just make it look small.
Their channel was like 20,000 subscribers just a year ago. The original channel wasn't focused on solving missing persons cases, but pulling cars out of rivers for the environment and just scuba diving and cleaning up trash. That all changed when they stumbled upon a car that had a missing person in it. Then families with missing people started contacting them, asking for help. From there, Adventures with Purpose found a new purpose; solving missing persons cases! Especially ones where a car and/or person might be in the water. Jared bought an RV, a trailer, and hit the road with Sam. Solved 3 or 4 since then! And their channel is AWESOME! They need a TV show!
I'm trying to get them there, I have almost 5,000 friends, many are water protectors, protectors of the Mother Earth, Native American, like me, and/or missing/murdered advocates.
thats becuase these types of videos are not popular on social media.
I couldn't imagine living for 32 years not knowing where my kid was.. I wouldn't be able to function
33:25... a bag full of "body parts" and NOTHING was ever looked into ???? beyond weird.
exactly they need to relook at that ....they can do DNA testing now
He’s been missing almost twice as long as how old he was. This is extremely heartbreaking and I hope somehow the family can find some peace. Randy’s dad passed away so all I can hope for is that they are reunited and waiting for mom to tell her what happened to finally give her some peace.
You guys are so amazing, keep doing what you do, it really makes a difference and inspires all of us!
Thanks D. Tried calling to wish you a Happy Holiday Season, but your number didn't work. Give me a ring.
Yeah keep up the hard work
Yes!
It's fantastic what these guys are doing for families that need answers, peace, and closure. It's really heartwarming.
@@jonigrissett5265 l
What a sweet couple!! I can't imagine the pain and suffering they have had to endure all of these 32 years! And, WOW.....some kind of a fool sheriff's department! Apparently, they do not want this child to be found! My prayers go out to the families you help, but also that God will keep you guys safe while you are doing such a heroic job for others!!! I love your channel and love the help you give to others!
Someone knows what happened but refuses to come forward so sad. My prayers are lifted up.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the police department is involved.
@@ajc5298 there is always someone on here that has to pick at another person’s comments to jump down their throat and then to make themselves feel better!
@@texasgal2794 Hi, sorry for butting in this conversation but I don't think that's what they meant by that? From the way I read their comment I believe they're suggesting that the sheriff's department might have something to do with the crime and don't want to be exposed for it rather than foolishness and plain ignorance. I'm sorry if this comes off as rude in any sort of way as it is not intended
We have this in
Hampton Iowa!!!’ Thank you to AWP for discovering Ethan’s car in Franklin County Iowa !!!!
RIP Harold!!! Big hugs and prayers to Alberta!!! Harold is now with his son. 💗
This seriously breaks my heart this is the sweetest couple and don’t deserve what happened to them and how they have been treated. 😭
What a perfect example of "good american people". They are such sweet people. My heart breaks for this sweet couple. Jared is a very comforting man. I pray that they get the closure that they desperately deserve.
I think everyone in our area knows that Randy is not coming home. Please someone come forward and give these parents peace. Kids can’t keep secrets this long, but adults can. Thank you so much for helping these poor parents.
I’m not half way through the vid yet but In my opinion it’s pretty damn obvious he never left that party or fowl play left him there
Yes,they do definitely know and need to come clean about it to Alberta and to God to get their soul right with him...
No one will talk because they will be implicated. How can anyone know something all these years and speak now without being implicated? Those that know anything will take it to their own graves. The only hope is to find his car.
@@wandastevens3183 criminals don't give a damn about their souls. No one will talk especially if it was fowl play. All these years gone by, and if Randy did die because of fowl play, we may never know unless evidence is pulled up with the car. It can still have been an unfortunate accident.
This couple seems so genuine.You can see the love they have for each other,but you can see the pain.I can also see the hope.I can't imagine 32 years of not knowing. They're so strong. I really hope that they can find some answers. Thank you AWP for helping these families. I'm sure it means the absolute world to them.
ALWAYS tell somebody where you are going/who you are going to be with. It could help you be found faster if you are lost or give people a better idea of where you might be. Thank you guys for doing this for the family.
JARED = ONE OF AMERICA'S GOOD GUYS!!!
And one of the best, all day long 🙌
Jared shows so much compassion for the mission he is on in finding missing people and bringing closure to the family's.. I have to say these 2 videos made me cry, I cant imagine a mom and dads pain for all these years searching for their child..I pray Jared can help them and I pray they find closure...God bless them always... Jared the compassion you show is a gift from God, not many have it..
@@bendys4504 The viewers likely don't fathom how much work and effort and mental determination goes into doing this kind of "mission" work. A steady diet of it comes from a passion for the cause.
I'm in agreement! That goes for the whole team and other known and unknowns that want to collaborate with his team.
DNA investigation was in its infancy back then, but something doesn't seem right about this whole situation.
Yeah, those body parts and the fact that they didn't even try a DNA test with the family set my alarm bells off. Something is not right there.
There's a case in Canadian Texas like this. Boy missing and the investigation was in question bad. Even the state came to investigate the case. Like a year later a pack was found? next to a highly trafficked back road in the weeds. Really they had supposedly search this area very well . I think the case is still open. It's like there was a lot of missing information. Finally the story died except for the family
@@timbow50 i heard of this story
If there is still the old DNA on file it can still be tested. There is a lab that does cutting edge results now. They can take corrupted or partial strands to make matches. They actually work on cold cases like this. I'll have to look them up to find correct spelling of the name and the owner and post it later but it's something like Arthium Labs.n
Ik right seems like im missing something part of it doesnt really even make sense
Being from Kansas, I've known about and followed this case for most my life. I'm so happy ya'll were able to come help this family. ♥
I know I'm a little late, but I still donated to Randy's family. My heart breaks for them. I hope they find peace & the answers they deserve.❤💙❤💙❤💙 Thank you for being kind & respectful. You guys are awesome!
The pictures of their life... with Randy growing up... and suddenly he's just gone...
My tears and prayers for these precious parents...
I remember my cousin went missing after leaving L.A. to head back to Northern California. He would remain missing over ten years until search and rescue along with road crew retrieve his vehicle in a canyon off a mountain pass in a heavy vegetation area after the California fires. It appeared he went off the highway into this heavy vegetation area down a steep embankment. My uncle and aunt never stopped searching for their son. He was like a distant older brother.
Were your Aunt and Uncle still living to finally bring their son home? I'm so sorry that happened. We full time rv and I always think about that while we travel through mountain terrain.
Ru2yaz - My condolences. They only found his car, though?
Did they find his body in the car or just his car?? Either way, condolences to you and your family ♥️🙏🏼
Some vegetation is so heavy that it just swallows up cars.
Oh Lord I'm so sorry,I pray his remains were still in his vehicle when they retrieved it???
Gosh seeing the dad so sick and mom’s tear’s ripped my heart in shred’s.
Y’all are awesome!
What an adorable couple! It's nice to see they held together strong through their tragedy and I hope they get answers soon!
The mother's pain is still so raw after 32 years, its heartbreaking seeing her breakdown when talking about her son. I pray this family gets the closure they so desperately need. As always thanks AWP for all you do for families like Randy's 💜🙏🏼
I feel her pain. Although my daughter hasn’t been missing for 32yrs, she passed almost 6 yrs ago and the pain of losing a child, no matter their age, changes the very core of who you once were. You walk the earth the rest of your life with a broken heart. I can’t imagine ever being able to survive what these poor parents have.
I feel for her when I think of my grandson. If he ever turned up missing I know none of us would ever be at peace ever again. No rest when a part of your family is not there, like a broken chain.
Thank you so much for investigating this case. Randy is actually my cousin and is always missed within our family. The rumors and stories are unbelievable in the amount of them. I'm thankful that you guys were able to come out and help a part of the family try and get some closure.
Are prayers going out to your family. I just shared the story on my Facebook so i hope and pray that we can find him . i can't imagine if my son came up missing and i wouldn't wish that on anyone .
@@amymartens785 thank you so much
Did Randy have a girlfriend that he might have left the party to go visit? I can't help but wonder if this might have changed his direction and possible location
Hope u all get answers this new year x
Miss. Audrey,
Is this the case where a car was seen from overhead on a guy’s acreage, but he wouldn’t allow anyone to go onto his property?
You guys all do great work. I've been almost binge watching since I discovered your channel. The big thing that was never mentioned here was the 1993 floods. The entire Missouri River drainage, including the entire Kansas River Basin was inundated. A vehicle going into the smallest creek in northeast Kansas could easily have been swept all the way into the Missouri and eventually the Mississippi River, not to mention a body that did not stay in a vehicle. A huge portion of the land scape was changed by the flood waters. It's unfortunate that Mr Leach passed away without knowing the fate of his son.
OMG! This is unbelievable! This family are so lovely,they dont deserve this! This stinks of a cover up!Somebody knows SOMETHING!!!
God bless you!
In 1988 I was out running around, going to bonfires, partying and from 88 to now is a long time--especially for parents to wonder where their child is and what’s happened. There were a few times I was around some pretty sketchy people, but I will guarantee you this, someone (or a few) from that bonfire knows exactly what happened. Prayers for Mr. and Mrs. Leech that before they pass this world to another, they find answers they are looking for and can have some peace. 😢🙏🏼
Edited: **Mr. and Mrs. LEACH
Yes. It would be ideal if they can bring him home before they leave.
I feel though if that doesn’t happen- it be a promise he will come home one day. He will come back to them,I am sure in my heart and soul 🙏🏻💙
SINCE his Mother was told by the woman he left with someone..HOW WOULD SHE KNOW THIS? And the person he left with..wouldn't BOTH OF THEM BE in a vehicle w MISSING PERSONS, I AGREE, SOMEONE HAS TO KNOW.
You need to go tell everything you know to the parents if you really were there
@@truthstartshere.9214 I dont think her comment is saying she was there. Her comment is more about her experiences of her own parties in 88.
@@imjustsarge7730 Thank you. That is exactly what I meant.
Man, what you do really does you a lot of honor.
As someone from Linwood Kansas I’ve been recently doing a lot of research because randy is from where I live and this really sheds light on the case. I just hope the best for him and his family.
AWP deserve public support. These are a bunch of great guys comimg together to help total strangers. These men have families of their own and they sacrifice that time to be out there for those that call for their professional talents. Many blessings to this team and I will do all I can to support their efforts.
This is the area that is called “my neck of the woods”. I remember when he went missing. 😔 Thank you guys for giving these precious people your help! I lived in Kansas from birth to 2007. (Alot of years) Thank you again guys!!
Do you know what happened to him
@@happysunny80100, no one knows what happened to him. 😔 Well there are people who know what happened but it’s been told (speculated) that they’re too afraid to come forward.
@@DetectivesDaughter I'm thinking in 91 the water might of had a surge and pushed the car and remains further down stream that or somone found them in 91 and reburied them to remove evidence what I suspect could of happened
@@happysunny80100 LMFAO did you really just ask that? 😅😅
Don't ya think if they "knew" what happened to him we wouldn't be sitting here watching this video?

@The gardener LMAO you're too sensitive geezus
This post made me become a member, It's only $5 a month but for now that's all I have. Let's get you that gear. These families deserve it.
Thank you
Thirty two years of not knowing where your loved one is. I can't begin to imagine.
Loss and pain never ever go away when it comes to your children ! My heart goes out to these families that missing loved ones found or not !
It breaks my heart every time a case like this comes up. This case could’ve been solved long ago if the police or even other people like you were willing to step up and help. Sadly there wasn’t the technology back then that could’ve helped this case but luckily the family has you guys to help out. I always love and support everything you guys do. Love from North Carolina🧡
But there were divers but then that could've checked anyway when they heard of the case...
@@wandastevens3183 I agree
OR...novel idea...those involved step forward at least anonymously!
@@kellygreen7275 exactly! If anyone had stepped up maybe this family could’ve had more answers sooner rather than later
@@wendijones5942 yeah, I thought about that too, good point
Poor parents still holding hands after a 32 year nightmare what a loving family for this to happen to you can feel their sadness ☹️ hope one day they will be able to find out what happened to randy 🙏
I live in Lawrence, KS and remember this story so well. His picture was everywhere and we all were looking. They did everything possible to bring him home. It truly breaks my heart.
I live in Topeka and remember this so well also. I am glad they came out to try to find him. It breaks my heart. 💔💔💔💔 Prayers to the family.
When her husband grabbed her hand and said it’s alright I just broke down crying when they were talking about the morning of when they found out he was missing god bless you Jared and Sam and Dan for what you do and I pray for peace for the leach family 🙏🏻
I am so glad that you noted the condition at the bottom of the rivers and creeks that you visited. Linwood is only 38 miles from where the steamboat Arabia was unearthed 138 years after sinking. I imagine that in 32 years the same fate could have happened to Randy's car, especially considering the flooding that occurred in 1993.
It’s so heartbreaking watching these sweet folks. They’re still mourning for their son after all these years. The love and compassion AWP shows is incredible! God bless y’all for what you do.
It’s remarkable how invested the family friends are in resolving the mystery of Randy going missing. Something doesn’t sit well with me about the family where the party was in the night Randy went missing. One of the common things a criminal does to remove suspicion from themselves is to cast focus else where. Why was the family at the party location saying those things about Randy’s family, they didn’t know them, they were new to the area. Why would you say things like that about a family of a missing person, why bad mouth the family ? How big was the footprint at the sign in the mud ?
Your compassion for these families is truly a blessing for them. We need more people in the world like you ☺️
We had a family that went missing after a rain storm. They were found a year later in a creek bed that was beside a creek that usually was only inches deep. Their vehicle was half submerged in the mud/gravel. They were found by a hunter. They were still strapped in their seats and the baby in its car seat.
😢
So sad! Very sorry for your loss!
Oh god how awful 😞
So terrible 😢
😭
I've lived in the Northeast Kansas area my whole life and this story has been known forever around here. Hopefully someone will tell what happened to Randy. I don't personally believe he ever left that party.
I think around that house who hosted party
I think the two replies the lady gave Randy's mom. Was very odd. And that she just happened to be cleaning up a fire area. Very strange circumstances.
Same. My friend A's younger brother was nearly stabbed to death by a group of guys at a house party. He had just stopped by (probably looking for girls) & something must've gotten started somehow. Couple hrs later, A. gets a call that her brother's in the emergency room.
Y’all deserve your own show on a powerful network not just youtube. What you do for these families is a mission from GOD
I listened to a couple of podcasts about this case and its absolutely heartbreaking. Alberta and Harold have put so much time and effort in trying to find Randy and I hope they get their answers very soon. From what I remember from the podcasts, the cops are not helping and weren't helping them very much in the beginning so it makes me wonder what they are trying to hide especially where the lady said anyone that tries to look for Randy are told to back off . Very sad case like so many others out there. I sincerely hope they find him.
Maybe someone should report that police dept to the state to be investigated so they are fired And decent police take over but they definitely need to be investigated!! Or the cops who didn’t do their jobs maybe not the whole department
The police have to be involved in this one. The fact they introduced the family to a psychic that told the family exactly where to look for Randy's name etched into the mud is extremely suspect. As well as other private investigators being intimidated and even one killed? Someone with a lot of power doesn't want this poor family to have any closure.
Stay safe, guys. You're doing great things.
Yes I sensed its one of thr police officer is behind this.... amd doesn't want anyone to know ... why did they say to back off ..... this is sisbishous
I think the physic drew that in the mud to scam them out of money, sad
I agree I have a feeling that somebody in the police department or one of their children or relatives was involved in the Satanic cult and they want it left alone and they don’t want it investigated. My uncle died of suspicious circumstances and he was telling my grandfather that someone was following him and trying to get him and his daughter my cousin is a police officer and when my uncle died they told my cousin to leave it alone and stop trying to investigate it. And my uncle was found dead in his kitchen there was a trail of blood from his bedroom shower to the kitchen table and he was found dead Naked laying in the middle of the broken kitchen table on the floor with blood everywhere like he was reaching out for the phone and when the police came to the house they hurried up and had his body taken away as fast as they could and then they put undetermined on his death certificate 😏
And back in the 80s and early 90s the satanic churches were very popular with the teenagers especially the ones that were partying. And I think after they would sacrifice people they would burn their bodies it’s just too suspicious if it was an accident his car would’ve been found in the bushes somewhere in the woods somewhere in the water somewhere unless he had a bad ass car and he was carjacked and murdered
definitely, the fact they gave them a sham "psychic" is pretty shady if you ask me.
I came to your channel after another channel covered one of your searches. I enjoy your videos and I very much appreciate how respectful, patient and understanding you are with the families. Along with your professionalism when associating with law enforcement, even when at times they aren't being as such with you.
Thank you for being the wonderful people that you are.
My condolences goes to Harold Leach's family, it was such heartbreaking knowing he passed away without knowing the answer about his son.. May his soul rest in peace.. bless you Jared and team for your wonderful work
So let me get this straight, remains were found and police didn't try to figure out who it was? I get DNA profiling wasn't advanced like today, but to not have them to even try to get DNA later on? There is some shady stuff going on in my opinion with this whole case. God bless y'all for all you do. Prayers for Randy and his parents, my heart hurts for them.
It seems to me that certain individuals in the police or sheriff’s offices are actively trying to bury evidence or keep the truth from coming to light. They said something about an investigator turning up dead and others being told to get off the case. That is severely suspect.
Yeah the "bags of body parts" need to be checked against Randy's DNA...
@@aluzbrilhounaescuridao9486 Just as I thought...thanks...the evil sicko,deadly & stupid bloody underworld of people that should NOT be in this world ...they also need to be in prison for these murders...
@@aluzbrilhounaescuridao9486 This type of thing is why I used to move my kids around the state of Texas, so no one could or would be able to get a grip on them to stop their happy healthy lives from growing up in a nice place. I've definitely had a few battles but I hope that my kids know that I tried my best to take care of them. I surely didn't stay in one place when my oldest son was in pre K and his teacher said he's going to grow up to be a murderer?? We moved out. He drives semi trucks loaded with cattle across the country so that everyone can eat decent BBQ. :)
Cops dont care theres so much crime. Ya hear of 1 detective takes a case finds what happened, or is thst in the movies?
The sad thing is that somewhere I'm sure there is some sophisticated ground penetrating radar sitting in storage not being used that could be given or loaned to this Amazing bunch... maybe someone could help make that happen. Keep up the Great Job, I'll be looking forward to the next videos 👍👍
Sounds like they got rid of more than 1 person..../...
No matter how many years go by, the pain remains, especially when you never had closure. I hope this family finally finds some peace.
As a mom I couldn't imagine! The way you guys speak to the parents is amazing! Even just the theories they have had to hear of what may have happened to their son! Then to feel like your having to fight the police also! Its something that should never happen yet does All the time! Im so glad to see people like you guys
Shout out to your editor as well. They're putting out masterpieces every episode. You're entire production is getting better every day.
Branson Kayne Perry is an American man who vanished under mysterious circumstances from his residence at 304 West Oak Street in Skidmore, Missouri. please you guys are so close even a day would help out the mom no agencies offered much help he has no mom or dad left here the last time he was seen was cleaning the house for his dad's return from the hospital he went to the shed and was never seen again this is so close to home for me 💓 thanks for the likes I hope more people are aware now
Sending prayers 🙏🙏 that they are able to help.
Send them an email with this info! They are home with their families right now, but I know they are planning another trip out in January.
Send the details to AWP.
This was filmed back in October.
Praying you get help, and answers!!!
I’m from this area!!! I remember this story as growing up!! My parents were around his age! They knew of this young man. So sad for his family!
The compassion and expertise offered to this family is both moving and inspiring. Thank you guys for caring!
27 seconds in and my heart is broken for this family...I gotta watch this later 😢
There could definitely be a car buried under the sand considering the record flooding last year in that area.
Thank u was just trying to work that out if had been flooding so the car would or could be miles farther down stream then it's original location I've seen how strong the current of flood waters is they can move houses so not surprised if moved the car problem is though how much is left as it would of banged off those bridges and whatever else was floating down river
And we had the huge flood in July of 1993 so that could have really moved a car. I lost my home in that flood I know how high the water got and moved quickly. I wonder if they told the team about the different floods.
@@hnyweelz8771 so there's been 2 floods how far does the Kansas river go as that means most likely it could be in the next county if there's anything left with how much debris u find in flood water
@@hnyweelz8771 I've just messaged Leisek on Instagram see if he gets chance to reply asked him a genuine question mainly how much shallower would floods make the creeks with 2 floods and all the mud they bring ?
Thank you guys for actually caring! Tbh I wish someone would have cared as much as you back in the mid 1960's my great grandmother's brother drowned in the Wisconsin river around 13-15 years old and he has never been found. It would have been about 70 years ago but I wonder if you could still find a skull. These videos make me have hope that one day we will find a little bit of Edwin but chances are very low expecally 70 years under water
@@vwchick24 I never knew him, I was told about Edwin when I was growing up. Was told that Edwin is the reason my great grandma never learned how to swim.. She was 7-8 when she seen her brother disapear. Many people have sadly been lost to the wisconsin river along with the great Lakes. And i know that there is atleast a good 15 familes still womdering where their family member is under the water. Sadly I'm not the only one who has lost someone to water. My boyfriend lost his one cousin, she was found 2 weeks later since she was a skinner person it took her longer to float and the only way they could tell it was her was by her tattoo cause snapping turtles were munching on her. And I'm not talking about little chunks I mean chunks out of her the size of soft balls... Sad to know exactly where Edwin is... He is sediment....
i live in lawrence and i remember my grandma talking about him and the case growing up, ive always been so interested in what happened. i hope one day you guys find closure
What a great couple, my heartbreaks for them! I pray for you guys, you are doing amazing things!
Another great video, If Dan is your camera/drone operator I have to say, he is awesome! So professional makes watching other videos very hard. Kudos to him. And for you guys to show so much compassion for this family is so great. Even if you didn’t find Randy this time you have given this family hope.... and keeping this case alive. Love your whole crew! Keep doing what you do and be safe.
I have a cousin that has been missing since 78 or 79. His sweet parents have both passed on without any answers. Please read the book they wrote, Friday never came. He left home, LaGarge, Georgia heading to auburn university. He never made it to school. Kyle's last words were always, bye momma, bye daddy. I love you. I will see you on Friday. Friday never came.
How sad, Claudia. My sympathy to you and the family.
What state did he start ?? We need to get the state police or FBI into the picture here if this case is still unsolved.
Sorry to hear. It seems that some people got arrested for that case but Kyle or his car was never recovered.
i hope at least that his parents were able to get closure after their deaths in the afterlife... what a horrible thing for your family to go through... i am so sorry.
So sad and painful.i wish them comfort and closure.
J, you're such a special human. You and Sam and the entire team. God put you guys here to bring peace and light to people who cant find themselves. I'm so proud of you guys and I cant wait to see where this journey brings us. 🥇😊
I have been following the channel for almost a year now, i love what you guys do for people.
Hello from South Africa...stories like this is breaking my heart bit i am just glad the great guys from the AWP team is always willing to help families getting closure🤗
I've been watching your channel since you guys were cleaning up lakes and creeks and hunting for "treasure". I remember watching a video of you reuniting a lost item with its owner and was impressed by how you seemed happier returning the item than you did while finding it. Since then I've watched your channel evolve into something you never intended. Your unique skillset and compassion for others has transformed your channel into a long overdue and much needed service for families with lost loved ones. I know you never planned on this becoming your career and I can only imagine how difficult it must be to deal with so much emotional pain. You recently posted a video about how you needed to take a break and you actually apologized to us. Jared, two years ago you were simply a TH-camr who filmed dives for fun. You never planned to spend all your time traveling around the country, searching the depths for missing people while their loved ones watched nearby. I can't imagine the intense pressure you must be under, the frustration you experience dealing with local authorities, the nightmares you must have after the terrible sights you've been privy to and the loneliness you must experience spending so much time away from your family... and you do all of this for free. Take all the time you need. I miss seeing you happy and excited about reuniting people with their lost treasures. It's been a long time since your reunions ended in something other than tears. I'd love to see you post some light hearted, "treasure hunting" dives every now and then. My mom was a homicide detective and she forgot how to be happy after a few years. I don't want to see that to happen to you. I don't want that to happen to any of you. Take care and remember how much you are loved.
I miss these old videos. They had a way of really brining you into the lives of these families. These videos really captured the intense emotion. From the music to the raw footage.
This young man has been missing for SO many years. Thank you for helping the Leach family try to locate Randy or maybe even close the possibilities of where he is not.
So you're telling me Randy could've actually been found YEARS ago already with the bones they found, but they didn't even do DNA on them? So odd & weird, his parents are getting older & they need closure to find out what happened to their son! Thank you all as always for trying your hardest to find closure for this family!
Wait they found bones but didn't do DNA on them wtf...what if it was him...
@@millisagable1318 it’s possible unfortunately.
Its also possible there wasn't enough dna left in the bones to do any testing. Often times that is the case and they dont want to give false hope to the families by asking for dna before they have something to compare it to. However, with these dear folks getting on in age, if the case is considered cold, the parents may want to reach out to a detective and offer to add their dna to the case files incase somthing comes to light after they are gone....
Yeah, running dna costs money. Police departments ain’t spending money on that. Remember there are hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits in every department across the country. When people started getting wind of this, instead of tackling the problem, finding a solution & implementing it, they ran a disinformation campaign that claimed rape kits are abortions, god doesn’t want you to get a rape kit done if you’ve been raped, it’s stupid to get a kit done, it’s selfish to ask for one, selfish & stupid to insist it be tested, waste of time to enter the dna of rapists to a database, etc...
Yup, there are people, some may even be reading this right now, who actually believe that rape kits magically cause AbOrTiOn. Somehow, perhaps by magic, swabbing under fingernails, collecting clothing, swabbing around a vagina & cervix causes abortion or makes god angry or is somehow super evil, bad, selfish, etc...
It does not, it is not, it never ever will be.
It wasn’t until super wealthy folks, political donors & those who aim to keep US living in fear by poor & insufficient policing realized just how much money it would cost to test the kits & the even higher expense of going after rapists. That’s when the disinformation campaign began. They don’t want to pay for it, there’s profit when Americans live in fear. For US to live in fear, rapists need to be free to assault, repeatedly.
Unless it’s an election year, there’s no profit in going after & catching rapists. Rapists don’t usually own enough houses, cars, ATVs, boats, guns or other goods to auction off (to their friends & families).
There’s money here, corruption & money. There almost always is.
Poor mama. I can't imagine losing my baby. Hugs from here...
These types of cases breaks my heart for the family. Harold and Alberta living all these years no knowing what happened to their son is so terribly sad. I pray that one day they find what happened.
I love how you guys started showing the Google earth from the time the person went missing! 👍🏻
I really hope that the right person may have been there that night has this on their conscious and reaches out to you!
So sad they need closure
I love how they try to help each and every single family and posting on you tube where cases can be solved and people can call in and send in tips of the case because its refresh on thier minds ! I pray this is solved in the next few years !!! They need justice !!
Such a beautiful couple. I wish he could’ve received answers before passing but the beauty in knowing they never stopped looking. The fact y’all gave your time to get to know them, hear their story and gave a hand. ❤️
I hear all of these horrible stories that ended (or in our case began) with an innocent kid going to a party and I understand now my parents fears when I was a reckless teen. My heart goes out to these families, god bless them and god bless you and Sam for all that you do
real shit
I felt the same way...
seriously so scary to think about
"I understand now my parents fears when I was a reckless teen." Precious words.
I think about the Leach family frequently. Whenever I hear about a missing person or a body found. I continue to pray for some kind of closure for the family. May God provide the answers that this family needs.
Mrs. Leach broke my heart. To have lost a son and have no definitive answers is unacceptable. These lovely people deserve answers.
I’m so sorry for the parents that go through this. It’s every parents worse fear. I’m sure the pain never goes away. God bless you.
Honestly so thankful for what they do. Amazing people helping other families trying to find their lost ones. Amazing🙏
Sounds kind of strange that people are being told to back off or pulled off case from finding him. I think 🤔🤔🤔🤔 it could be a cult. Or a gang.
This is one of “those” cases for me. I firmly believe that Randy is in the water. What’s worrying is that after so many years the car has slowly washed down to the river. I wish this was done right after he went missing. As the mother of an only child I simply cannot imagine. I will donate.
