Hi, crime junkies. I'm your host, Ashley Flowers. And I'm Britt. And the story I have for you today is one that I've wanted to tell for a minute now because I found it in a super interesting way. So back in 2022, I covered the case of Randy Leach on the deck. Except this is not that Randy Leach. It's a different. It's different.

So when our reporting team was out first diving into that case, we realized that there were two Randy Leach's that were missing people.

And it is finally time that I tell you the other Randy Leach's story. Because the circumstances are truly bizarre.

He goes to a graduation party, starts acting strange, but he doesn't know what's wrong with him.

And it's so strange that people don't want him to drive.

I mean, that's how bad it is.

One minute he's there, and the next, both him and his car are missing, have been missing for 36 years. And in those

years, rumors have swirled, rumors about a party gone wrong, rumors about a satanic cult, and a police

department that, as far as the family is concerned, didn't do everything they could have. This is the story of Ranty Leach. It's just after 6 a.m. on April 16th, 1988, when Alberta Leach wakes up in her Linwood, Kansas home, ready to get her Saturday started.

The first thing she does after climbing out of bed is to check on her 17-year-old son Randy,

because she knows that he'd been out at a party

the night before and she wants to ensure that her only child got home safely. Several sources report

that his curfew was 12.30 in the morning. Dad says he's usually home by one. Like, the latest he's

ever out was like 2 a.m. And according to the Lawrence Journal world, on most occasions, his mom would actually hear him

come in at night, and that would wake her up. Sometimes they'd even have a little late night

conversation, and then Randy would go to bed. But she didn't wake up the night before because she

never heard him come in. And she's realizing now that's because her son is nowhere to be found.

He's not in his room.

He's not crashed on the couch with the TV on.

And I'm sure her already building anxiety spikes when she looks outside and sees that her car,

the car that Randy was driving the night before, isn't there either.

She goes and wakes her husband, Harold, and they immediately start calling around to friends, but no one has seen Randy since the party the night before.
