I think it's pretty obvious what happened to Randy. He was sacrificed in a satanic ritual. All the info is right there. Just put 2 and 2 together.
At the rural Leavenworth County home of Alberta and Harold Leach, memories of their only son linger. There's the sign on the side of the garage that includes Randy Leach's name. There's his old bedroom, now an office, with his track medals and some old toys still displayed.
"He had race cars on the wall," his mom Alberta sighed. "I changed all of that, but that didn't help."
Their only son has been missing, now presumed dead, for 28 years. He disappeared from a party on Friday, April 15, 1988. He arrived alone, but witnesses recall him being "messed up," according to newly obtained police and investigation records from that era.
Over a three-month period, FOX 4 Investigative Producer Lisa McCormick worked with Professor Matthews and two honor students to build a timeline, based on documents FOX 4 had obtained. For Matthews and his students, that timeline revealed shortcomings in the investigation that shocked them.
"I would ask him, why didn't you?" Matthews said of the Leavenworth County sheriff who headed the investigation. "What was your rationale behind not doing these fundamental textbook activities.
That sheriff, Terry Campbell, now a private investigator, responded with a written statement.
Leavenworth County Undersheriff James Sherley says he probably would have done things differently 28 years ago, but adds he believes the case was handled with good intentions of finding Randy Leach.
Even so, frustration continues to build for Randy's family, who formally had him declared dead, and don't expect to see their son again. They just want answers and closure before they're gone. Alberta calls not knowing the hardest part.
"We've got to know."
