Surely you can see that members can become upset or offended and thus start to dislike posters who push certain agendas on a website like this one. I appreciate your contributions to this board very much, that is why I do not want to see members become upset with you due to your agenda pushing. I just do not think this board is the appropriate channel for such comments. Hopefully you will be objective and agree with me. No disrespect intended at all sir.

Thank You

Any plans on voicing objections to what you consider left-wing agenda? I'm against ALL extreme positions!

I am not excusing their actions by any means, but society needs to do more for the mentally ill among us. I do not know what it is like to have evil impulses, I have been fortunate in that regard, but I do not think the answer is to lock up everyone who succumbs to such impulses. I do agree that until more treatment options have been developed, we must incarcerate these individuals to protect society. Hate and rage towards offenders will not solve the problem.

You're right. Hate and rage won't solve the problem. But chances are, neither will any form rehabilitation. The longer they are removed from society, the better. A sex offender will always be a sex offender. They're a danger to society, and are not too different from other violent offenders. They are the way they are, and no matter what treatments you give them, they will not change or become less likely to re-offend.

What if, God fordid, some loved one of yours got attacked by a sex offender?Would you want them just treated, and be given no jail time? Sex offenders need to be removed from society so that they can't harm anyone else. More often than not, a sex offender is a leopard that doesn't change its spots.

I noticed that it reads "05.23.05" at the bottom of the page. That would mean May 23, 2005, so the page is clearly updated as of that date. Clearly, that page is far from outdated.

Yesterday I looked him up on the internet and one picture and summary popped up, indicating he was still at large.

Thankfully, they found this creep. He was hiding out in Israel! Maybe those women will find some justice now.

I'm amazed but pleased that the country gave him up.

[JenniferS.]

the unsolved mysteries wiki says he is still wanted. .Guess is his family is hiding him that's why he hasn't been found. They defended him on the show in letter read on the show. everyone knows Randal seems to think he was set up because Denise 's father in police officer. Denise's side believes her. Randall probably has all kinds of people hiding him.

Wouldn't the statute of limitations have run out on this case a long time ago?

[Sewan23]

Rewatched this segment.

Who wants to bet this guy was killed and buried on some remote corner of farmland?

[Gelatinous Goo]

In reply to the last two posts, if the answer to James' post is "yes", then the odds of the answer being "yes" to sewan's question rise drastically. He would have shown up by now. I'm guessing that not many people would be missing this creep.

There is always a chance (even if a remote one) that when Randall Utterback fled, he took up residence in another country.

Frederick Russell, Ira Einhorn and Alex Kelly (and I am sure others) did just that. In fact, Russell, Einhorn (and again, likely others) were even captured in another country.

He is a wanted fugitive so I don’t know that it would apply to him. I think it might change if he was never arrested and charged in the first place. I’m not 100% sure, but I think that was talked about before either on UM or on the other thread.

According to reports online it says that he was imprisoned without bond before he escaped. he never went to trial. I think that was a big factor for me for those that defended him in the other thread. If he is innocent why did he escape and never return? Why did he not present his side of the story in a trial? interesting that a judge did not allow him to be out on bond. He would have been out of jail by now if he had been convicted and sentenced.

Oh, I just watched that episode. He was a dentist named Dr. Steven (maybe Stephen) Frank. OMG that guy is such a CREEP!

I doubt it. According to Denise, he ran her off the road, fired some gunshots in her direction and then dragged her into his car and drove away while her legs were dangling on the ground. The re-enactment alone means the guy was extremely dangerous. I can't see how the statue of limitations is gone for potential attempted murder.

I think what might have happened is that he probably spends less than 10 years in jail for this if he just takes the stand and defends himself. There could have been things that came out that paint a bit more favorable light on Randall, who knows, we never heard him try. But if he just takes off like a coward and never returns and probably has the help of his family then we may never see him and to me that just shows he is guilty. For me the charge would be attempted murder wouldn't it? How does that expire?

Probably not. Although none of the crimes he was likely charged with would not have a statute of limitations this long, if charges were filed while he was in jail (very likely, otherwise I can't see him being held for 6 months) then that would satisfy the statute of limitations requirement that the state bring charges.

The fact that he never turned up is interesting. I would think hiding him for that long would become impractical, although possible. Given his obsession with Denise I find it doubtful that he kept away from her of his own volition for this long. I also don't buy his supposed innocence, the pattern here and fact that he fled the law speaks volumes.

Given his behavior though, I think its quite possible he fled to some other place and tried this same garbage on a girl who's father was not to be so easily trifled with, and met a violent end that way.
