Randy Leach

Randy Wayne Leach (born July 25, 1970) is a missing person from Linwood, Kansas, United States. He was last seen in the early morning hours of April 16, 1988 at a graduation party. Despite the closeness of the nearby communities of Linwood and DeSoto and the coverage received from surrounding cities of Kansas City and Lawrence, no evidence has ever been discovered that has led to the whereabouts of Randy Leach.
Background
At 6:30 PM (CST) on April 15, 1988, Randy Leach left his parents' house with the intention of driving to Lawrence to purchase some wax to protect the paint of a recently bought riding lawn mower. It is unknown whether Randy arrived in Lawrence as he turned east, toward Linwood when leaving the house. He was later going to a graduation party held by classmate Kim Erwin less than five miles from the Leach residence. Randy was last seen, waiting for the restroom between 1:15 AM and 2:00 AM. A friend was supposed to drive Randy home but when the friend returned to the party after driving others home, both Randy and the Dodge 600 he drove there, were gone.
Randy's parents, Harold and Alberta, woke up at 6:00 AM and noticed Randy was not home yet. A Topeka man who offered to help the Leaches find Randy was found dead along with his wife. Topeka police ruled it a murder-suicide.
The 1985 Dodge 600 Randy was driving has also never been found.<ref name="LJWorld 4/1998" />
