MO - Randy Lande for raping 8yo girl, Independence, 2011

[Missizzy]

Excellent point, LCoastMom. I figured that there had to be a PO. Many in Independence are calling for the Judge to resign. I have mixed feelings about that as I've read nothing but positive reviews about her. Could it have been an oversight? I don't know. But I do know that judges have to make life-changing calls day in and day out. Most likely there was something that caused her to lean this way. God only knows why she did. I'd like to hear a statement from her.

As for a PO, they are mandated to supervise. Unless this man had officially absconded, he most certainly was NOT supervised properly. He wouldn't have been allowed visit or stay in that home, have any contact with those children or even to drink. He'd be undergoing weekly UAs and periodic polygraphs to check for truthfulness. Someone dropped the ball.

Also a good catch about the mother never seemingly arriving at the hospital. Wouldn't that be LE's first call, after they got the child to the hospital? I don't know if we'll ever know how long the attack took place. I'm sure the child's memory is skewed due to trauma and alcohol. It could have been after the mom was taken to work. The girls could have stayed up very late as girls do on sleepovers and she might have thought it was the middle of the night. I hope to high heaven that the other girls were carefully checked over. One wonders why LC never screamed for "Mommy", instead of just crying. Maybe Lande told her that her mother wasn't there. That breaks my heart. I still can't get over the other couple leaving her.

 

[Missizzy]

Can anyone explain why these two casenet pages are different, concerning the probation? Note the cessation of probation dates and the comment about "suspended". Are they referring to his sentence being suspending or probation being suspended? I'm fairly sure that the one reflects the fact that he's been arrested but the other concerns me--1/24/11??? Does that mean that he successfully completed his probation years early or that he absconded and they issued a warrant for him and suspended his probation? When I checked his page on the registry on the day of his arrest, he was listed as "compliant". Hmmmm.

Have we seen this statement before:

http://www.thestar-herald.com/2011/02/09/7631/former-belton-man-charged-in-rape.html

Former Belton man charged in rape of Independence child

Feb. 9, 2011


"....Lande was due to appear in Cass County Circuit Court on Feb. 28 for a probation revocation hearing in connection with a criminal non-support conviction....He was convicted in 2009 in Cass County of felony non-support, but was granted five years supervised probation. Cass County Prosecuting Attorney Teresa Hensley on Jan. 20 filed a motion asking for the probation to be revoked, and a warrant was issued for his arrest on Jan. 24. Bond had been set at $25,000...."

So, this involves nonpayment of support and not the earlier rape charge. This might be why casenet says that his probation ended. This all sounds very curious to me. If there was a warrant, that might be why Lande made the statement, "I shouldn't have come back here." As if he thought that he was being arrested on a warrant for nonpayment? Right. With bloody bedding in his car?

 

[sfbaynancydrew]

That was one of most horrifying things I've ever read . I never thought I would say this, but I think that was harder to read than the Missouri sex slave.

I'm sitting here wiping tears. It's times like this I wish with all my heart I was somehow independently wealthy so I could set up a trust account for this baby to have everything she ever needs for the rest of her life.

I was pretty brutally attacked by a dog when I was a year younger than her and remember the horror of being covered, smeared and soaked in my own blood. At least in my case, it only left physical trauma, not the deep, psychological trauma she is going to have to endure for the rest of her life.

I hope this is "accidently" released into the general population in prison, at least for a good five minutes. Hopefully it would be his last.

Independence Rape Case Sparks Public Display

"The handful of people who stood with signs outside the Independence Annex of the Jackson County Courthouse for a convicted sex offender's appearance were frustrated and fed up...."

and

"...Among those in the group Wednesday afternoon were several people once related to Lande through marriage. A woman who asked that her name not be used told KCTV5 she had concerns about a sexual attacks on a child relative, one in 2003 and one in 2007, when the girl was in Lande's care. She said she told police and social service agency workers, but nothing came of it. "When it happened," the woman said about the child victim, "she couldn't name her attacker."

Soon after, another relative came to law enforcement to say Lande had molested her decades ago, when she was a child. In June 2009, Lande pleaded guilty to sodomy in that case. He was out on probation four months after sentencing...."

Lande rape case may alter law
Child rape forces lawmakers to look at state sex offender statute

This article makes it look crystal clear that the victim's mother MUST have known about Lande's status. Neighbors had been up in arms for months. The early reports stated that the victim identified her attacker as "Mom's new boyfriend". So consider this statement from the link above:

"...The assault allegedly happened at the home where Lande was living with friends. The victim, 8, attended a birthday party there for a friend and then spent the night, and according to court documents...."

If Lande was living there, it seems to me that the mother took the child to the home for the party and spent the night with Lande. The owners of the home had to have been aware of the community's concern. Neighbors were not being quiet about their discontent. I feel that there are a number of people culpable concerning this little girl's brutal attack.

I still don't think Lande was the boyfriend of the little girl's mother. Early reports said she was spending the night with the other little girls after a birthday party. Lande's girlfriend reportedly owned the home.

The police report states that she was asked if she knew who hurt her and she said yes, Randy. LE asked her who Randy was and she said "xxxxx's mom's new boyfriend". If she had said "my mom's new boyfriend" they wouldn't have had to white it out. IMO the name is whited out because it was that of an unrelated minor.

 

[Missizzy]

You might be right Chicana. I keep going back and forth on this. It seems like the reporters have made the assumption that it was the child's mother's boyfriend but I know the passage you're referring to. It's very confusing.

If you are correct, the child went to the house for a birthday party and spent the night and Lande was present. But Lande left at some point and took someone to work. Then there's the issue of a man in the basement.

I'm going to go over the Probable Cause again and study it more carefully. I really hope you are correct and the mother wasn't near by. But still, why would she not have known that a sex offender was in that home? The owners of the home knew. Why haven't they been charged? I feel, to some degree, they are complicit.

If I'm right,we don't know know if the mother knew he was staying there.

 

[Missizzy]

OK, it's very clear that there's a passage on what appears to be page 4 (it's not marked and is uneven) which says that the Paramedic Supervisor asked LC (seemingly in the ambulance) who had done this and LC responded, "___'s mom's new boyfriend". It would say "my mom's" if Lande was the child's mother new boyfriend. So I do think you are correct Chicana.

But look at page 2 of 5. It clearly states that a married couple were sleeping in the living room. I assumed they were the homeowners but maybe not. The woman woke the man up and asked him to find a crying child. Hold on a second. Why would a woman send her husband to check on three little girls, instead of going herself? That seems very strange...especially if they are not the couple's children but sleepover guests. Possibly, she thought it was their child? I don't know.

Then it says that "Randy W. Lande is friends with ____ who owns the residence and had taken her [someone in the home or not in the home?] to work earlier in the day using her vehicle."

The living room guy goes to check and confronts Lande in the hallway and is told she's not in the back bedroom but crying can still be heard. Living room guy heads to the basement to check--not there either. Is living room lady not up and checking by now? Finally both the man and woman confront Lande again and it is made clear that the child is in his room. For some unknown reason, the child is carried to the living room where she continues to bleed on the chair. It states they "all" noticed she was bleeding. Who is "all"? They then move her back to the bedroom. Why would they keep moving a bleeding child? At that point, Lande gets upset, rips up the bedding, presumably from under the child as she was already returned to the bed, and leaves as the living room guy heads to the basement to call 911. Who's in the basement? Why did he go there to call? Is the only phone down there or was he seeking privacy, to avoid a confrontation with Lande? And where, in God's name are those other two girls throughout this trauma. One is only four years old and the other is eleven. They must have heard. There was blood on the bunk bed.

Now that I've read it again, I'm even more confused. Unless, this report is truly skewed, the couple sleeping in the living room strike me as only marginally interested in the trauma this child is going through. Why? It was fairly late in the morning. Could they have been hungover or high? The woman is physically able to walk and move about as she's the one who answered the door. I'm must flattened by her response concerning the child. It's as if the little girl is the problem and not the monster who just fled the house.

And the question remains, who are the homeowners who Lande is friends with? Are they the couple in the living room or the person/people in the basement or someone not even living at the house? I've heard talk of a landlady who rents to RSOs. Is it her? And if he took the female homeowner to work early that morning, where was she sleeping that she missed the all night abuse? I see no statement about contacting the child's mother or her rushing to the hospital. Was anyone there for this victim, other than the LEO who stood by her side?

Lande used the female homeowner's car to take the woman to work. He then left the residence in it with the bloody bedding and the beer. That's the vehicle he was stopped in. There's some confusion about the type of car but it seems to be a 2001 maroon Oldsmobile Aurora (first described as an Alero) which had expired Kansas tags.

What a huge mess. My heart goes out to every single person working on this case. It's bound to take a toll.

And what about the child. Any word as to her condition?

 

[Missizzy]

A quick question. A heck of a lot of news sources are reporting this story using the phrase, "Mom's new boyfriend". Wouldn't there be a retraction or correction if this statement is untrue? The reporters can read the exact same document we're reading. I'm sure the news sources' attorneys have looked it over. Why would they allow a major mistake to stand?

 

[Missizzy]

I knew I shouldn't stay up so late and research this case. I dreamed about it all night long. But two things dawned on me. Check the birthdates of the children. The PC says the children had a sleepover after a birthday party. I assumed that the party was for one of the girls. That's probably incorrect as the other girls' birthdays are August 3rd and December 9th. LC's birthday is June 26th. Only one person, whose birthdate is listed has a birthday in February, when the rape occurred--Randy Lande on February 19th, the rapist.

My suspicion is that this birthday party was given for Lande and that very likely the adults partied until they were passed out. I think the fact that the children had a "sleepover" was for no other reason than convenience of the parents. I had always wondered about the age difference in the girls--4, 8 and 11. Having raised five girls, that's not a typical "party list". It is possible that a birthday party was for another child and that she and her family left but somehow I think the party was for the adults.

Secondly, it's stated that the three little girls slept in a bedroom together. Blood was found on the bottom bunk. I'm assuming that LC had the bottom bunk and that her attack started there or that she was taken out of the room for the rape and then returned bleeding to her bed. That would mean that, most likely, the 11 year old had the top bunk. What did this child see or hear? It doesn't seem as if she was assaulted too as there would be further charges. But having guests in your room or sleeping in another child's room would cause a little girl to sleep lightly, IMO. And what about the four year old? Was she on a pallet on the floor or was she sleeping in the bottom bunk with LC? I doubt that a 4 year old would be on the top bunk but I guess it's possible if the 11 year old slept with her. No other bed is mentioned and this is a small house with probably small rooms. What did that little one see or hear? I wonder if Lande gave all three of them some whiskey to knock them out. I wonder if some drinking by the girls might have been allowed at the party earlier in the evening. This next sentence is hard to type. I wonder if this wasn't some appalling birthday "present" for Lande.

Very good post. I think you've probably come very close to figuring out exactly how this happened. IMHO, I think it's possible that the other two girls had been abused by RL as well but probably not to the same degree (obviously). I imagine he knew he could only go so far with them b/c of the adults present in the house, whereas I wonder if he took more leeway with LC b/c she was not as familiar to him? Had no relatives there that night? Or maybe he had abused her as well previously but if the adults had partied and weren't paying attention then he took more liberty with her?

I'm sickened by this case and can't get it off my mind. It's absolutely horrendous.

 

[CHICANA]

Police said in the probable cause that Randy Lande was the boyfriend of the mother of one of the girls at the sleepover and was of no relation to the victim. Lande's girlfriend told FOX 4 that her daughter-in-law woke to screams, found the victim and called 911. That's when Lande took the sheets off the bed and left the home with a 20-pack of beer.




http://independence.fox4kc.com/content/independence-man-charged-raping-8-year-old

 

[Missizzy]

I now fully agree that, according to the PC, Lande was a friend's mother's new boyfriend. It looks as if the child's name ends with an "i" and is about 6-7 letters long. So, definitely not the mother's boyfriend as is reported in so many papers. I wonder why that hasn't been clarified?

If what the woman is saying is true in the link above, the PC is incorrect as it states that the man who was sleeping in the living room went to the basement to make the call to 911, after taking LC to the living room and then back to the bedroom. The child was described as crying, not screaming. The PC makes it quite clear that the man was the one who went looking for the crying child, not the woman. I'm afraid that there might be a little revisionist history there. FWIW, the homeowners or tenants should have known about Lande's history. The neighbors did. IMO, they set up disaster by having him in the home with three little girls.

And I strongly suspect that if the other little girls had been abused, there would be other charges. Surely they've been thoroughly interviewed by now. Undoubtedly, unless they were drugged or given alcohol, they would have heard or seen something. I almost wish they had been sedated.

I still want to see the PO's report. He/she has a good bit of explaining to do.

 

[Missizzy]

I believe this same scenario exists in many towns and cities. This is the way the system works here in Oregon. MO, at least, has the registry available to the public. We don't. We also have no laws on the books concerning where RSOs may live. IMO, we need a far higher level of cohesiveness and communication--between agencies and with the public.

http://www.examiner.net/news/x1694035036/Heacock-City-did-all-it-could-in-Lande-case

City did all it could in Lande case

"The city of Independence has no direct role or responsibility in maintaining sex offender registries, and city officials did all they could in responding to citizens’ concerns in 2010 surrounding registered sex offender Randy Lande, according to City Manager Robert Heacock.

The issue was discussed at the close of Monday night’s Independence City Council meeting. According to Heacock, in March 2010, Lande reportedly moved into the McCoy Neighborhood in western Independence. Several months later, neighbors questioned Lande’s residence near a church-affiliated child-care facility, addressing both Heacock and District 1 Council Member Marcie Gragg with their concerns. “In turn, we had the (Independence) Police Department fully look at that,” said Heacock, adding that staff examined whether Lande was able to legally live at the address in question. According to existing state statutes, Lande’s residence was within the law...."

and

"...The 8-year-old female victim attended a friend’s birthday party, and then spent the night, according to court documents..."

and

"...“The bottom line is under the state statute, we have not found – either at our level or at the state level – somebody who didn’t do their job in enforcing the statute as it was written,” Heacock said. The city of Independence Police Department is not required to maintain a registry of sex offenders and their residences, Heacock said. Instead, that responsibility falls upon the caseload of probation and parole officers...."

And may we now please see a report concerning just how those supervised Lande? Is this an ongoing investigation? I've not found a word about the PO.

 

[Missizzy]

I guess the sentence in the article linked above verifies that the victim attended a birthday party and then spent the night. It still does not clear up just who the party was for. IME, the birthday girl typically lives in the home where the party is celebrated. No child, though, as reported in the Probable Cause, had a birthday even close to February 3rd.

 

[QueenD]

Maybe he will meet up with Christopher Scarver in prison.

 

[Missizzy]

It's absolutely horrific to learn that the neighbors were specifically trying to get help with this man. My heart really goes out to them. They tried.

Neighbors Hope Child Rape Case Leads to Change in Law

"Residents in an Independence neighborhood are taking action and working to change Missouri sex offender laws after a registered sex offender allegedly raped an eight-year-old girl. They say that Randy Lande should never have been allowed to live in the house where he was registered, and some lawmakers agree.

The case was shocking, after the girl was found screaming and covered in blood, and eventually needing surgery for her injuries sustained in the attack at a sleepover at a friend's house. Lande is now in jail, facing rape and sodomy charges in the attack. "We've been fighting to get this guy gone," said neighbor RS. "Why was this allowed to happen?"

and

"....Independence Mayor Don Reimal, who also lives in the neighborhood, says that he knows why so many people were frustrated, and says that he supports changing the law to prevent sex offenders from living near church-based daycares...."

All this work is fine and good. However, this child was not snatched from the day care center. She was allowed by her parents to attend a party where this man resided. I have to ask why. MO is actually quite good about their SOR. Anyone can look it up. Here in Oregon, I need a name or an address and then I have to write to the State Police and ask if a person might be on the registry. The only offenders who are publicly known are predatory offenders and those who first offend as juveniles (no matter the predatory nature of their crime) are not included.

I want to know why a friend's mother allowed this monster around little children. Why didn't she let the other parents know just who their daughter was going to be spending the night with? From the reports I've read, it seems likely that one of the children lived in the home with Lande. Why would that be allowed? Where is the PO? Where are the logs concerning check-ins, where are the polygraphs to make sure he's not re-offending? Where are the interviews with his housemates?

People have spoken about everyone other than the PO. Where is he/she?????
