Rhiannon is just 16 and has been missing from her Winsted/Winchester,CT home that she shared with her grandmother. E mails and chats found on her computer indicate 3 boys named Jake,Nick and Sanji wanted to harm her. She,However stated in her note that they were going to help her run to Canada. Her friend posted on Websleuths that he felt she may have gone to with her father and twin brother somewhere in the south and her brother may be hiding her. This in unlikely as I'm sure even as inept as police were in this case they contacted her dad. Police to a break from looking for her for a week because the lead investigator was on VACATION . Yes you read that correctly vacation. That is inexcusable!! A whitness came forward to say say a girl fitting Rhiannon's description was sleeping in a dug out at a local ball field. Why did police not go there right away? Police have also made statements they believe she is dead. She said in her note she was in danger. h...
I understand Rand was an orderly at Willowbrook from 1969-1979. Has he been linked to deaths of any of the children residing there?
ReplyDeleteThis was during the timeframe when state budget cuts forced massive staff cutbacks at Willowbrook, with patient/staff ratios jumping from 4:1 to 30:1 and sometimes 70:1. Geroldo Rivera investigated in 1972 and found naked, starving and abused children on the overcrowded wards.
It would have been easy pickings for Rand and would explain why he has no crimal history from 1969-1977. It's unlikely he would have stopped offending during that time period.
Willowbrook was cloed in the early 1980s, which coincides with Rand's sudden crime spree, including the abduction of a group of 10 kids from a ymca for a day of plane watching at an airport.
Does Willowbrook have death records of residents, as the death rates from hepatitis and pnuemonia was very high during that time frame?
Did any residents go missing during the decade he was caring for this very vulnerable population?
I wonder if any of the staff or higher functioning residents have been interviewed about their recollections of Rand, or his personnel files reviewed by law enforcement. There is no statute of limitations on murder.
I forgot to mention his first conviction for a sex offense occurred in 1969 against a 9 yr old girl. He has two other known victims who did not press charges in the mid 70s.
ReplyDeleteI saw a Netflix show about this 😭
