New Info in the Tammy Lynn Leppart disappearance?

[LooksLikeCRicci]

Okay, before you all blast me for this....

Yes, I am aware I'm posting a link to a celebrity gossip blog. However, I will say this-- I've been reading this dude for years. He's had the inside track on every single major sex assault story for the last year (Matt Lauer, Jeremy Piven, Bryan Singer, Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein, etc.) He had been talking about all of these guys well in advance of any sort of mainstream accusation.

He posted this blind item today.

As you read the comments, the overwhelming opinion is that the subject of this blind item is BQ, aka "Beauty Queen" Tammy Lynn Leppart.


Thoughts?

99.9% of his description matches up. The only error was her being kicked out of her friend's car in the middle of the night, which it wasn't. It was the middle of the afternoon. But that's a minor mistake in a otherwise perfect match.

If you didn't say you've read this guy's posts for years and his accuracy, I would think he was someone connecting dots out of thin air for entertainment.

This....is very interesting. Should we pm this link to Tammy's sister?

If you read the comments on the page, several posters have mentioned Tammy's sister and I believe at least ONE of them were going to send her the link...

I caught the same error you did, about "middle of the night." I had the same response you did, which is that it's a pretty minor error.

I'm in touch with a crime blogger who knows Tammy's sister. I've sent the link to him and he can hopefully pass it along to her if he thinks it's credible.

I want this to be real ever so much. However, the inner skeptic in me has so many questions. Perhaps I’m just playing Devil’s Advocate here, but several things have crossed my mind after reading that blog entry a couple of times.

1. Whomever posted that had way too much intimate knowledge of both of the murders he/she spoke about considering:

A) Two of the principles of the first murder (the victim and the witness) have been deceased and/or missing for nearly 35 years. The third principle (the killer) has been deceased for nearly 10 years.

B) One of the principles of the second murder (the victim) has been deceased and/or missing for nearly 35 years. The second principle (the killer) has been deceased for nearly 10 years.

2. Even if the information is true, why post this now out of the blue? Especially since the suspected killer has been deceased for nearly a decade and you no longer have to worry about any retaliation?

3. Can we confirm that Paul Land ever lived in Florida or at least spent enough time there to be trolling around Cocoa Beach stalking Tammy? Everything I’ve seen about him shows that he’s a NJ guy that resided in SoCal for a bit but that’s all. I mean, can we even really confirm that they even had any sort of relationship? You would think that if they did have any sort of legitimate relationship that it would would have been known by her friends and family. If so, wouldn’t he have been a prime suspect from the beginning? His name being thrown in just seems very random at this point.

Sort of on topic...

Here’s a brief interview Dick Clark did with Paul Land on American Bandstand in 1980:

His acting career pretty much fizzled out after his first and only major role in The Idolmaker. He just seems like such a random, flash-in-the-pan guy.

I thought about this too. Seems improbable that he'd be out cruising around just waiting to snatch her. How would he know she would have an argument with the other boyfriend? How would he know that she'd be willing to go with him, especially after she saw him murder someone?

Everything about this theory does fit, though. It would explain why he disappeared from acting, as well as a probable suspect with a decent motive, and the reason behind Tammy's breakdown. FWIW, Spring Break was filmed in Florida in late 82, and released in March of 83. Tammy disappeared in July of 83, so it wouldn't surprise me if Land remained there (if he actually was involved in the drug trade), since it was Florida in the 80's, the hotbed for drug trafficking at the time.

It could be it was kind of a "crime of opportunity" that he saw her. IF he was hanging around in the area, he could've been driving by and saw her walking or whatever, and decided to pick her up, and the rest happened from there. Kind of like with Megadeth Shirt in the Deborah Poe segment. He, in all likelihood, happened upon an empty store and decided to try to get into the cash register, then someone came in and he had to play along. He didn't go there specifically to rob the place, but the opportunity presented itself. In this case, he wasn't specifically waiting to grab Tammy, but he saw an opportunity.

Just my tuppence.

Amazes me that website is able to get away with their innuendo, guess because it is but doesn't name anybody is how, but the comments section of every post is insane speculation throwing names out there publicly. Reads like a crazy conspiracy site-the commenters going on about the Illuminati & Satanic Cults etc. Somebody else here a while back posted a link to it where they were implying that the little girl from Poltergeist was sexually abused to death on the set of a kids only show which lacks any credibility.

??? The little girl from Poltergeist was Drew Barrymore, who is still alive. The other daughter in the movie was Dominic Dunne's daughter, Dominique, who was murdered by her boyfriend a few years later.

But if you're saying that sexual abuse can't happen on a kids only show, well, I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona I can sell you.

This says that he followed her from the moment she left her house with the boyfriend. So he would have had to follow them to the beach and then the entire ride to the Glass Bank where she was dropped off. This also doesn't take into account the three phone calls she made to her aunt from the payphone outside the gas station a block over from the Glass Bank. I guess it's possible he could have watched her walk that block to the gas station, see her standing at the payphone and pull in as if he were going to gas his car and "happen upon her."

But you're right. What doesn't make sense is why she would agree to get a ride from him after he killed somebody. And then also agree to have sex with him on the beach? That doesn't add up.

The little girl from Poltergeist was Heather O'Rourke, who died in 1988.

Don't think Drew was in Poltergeist. She was in ET. I was thinking more that everybody on set would have to be in on it, the description was pretty graphic.

The way I'm reading the B.I. is that after the killing, Tammy found out she was pregnant and told Paul. I believe they were still a couple after he killed someone, which wouldn't actually shock me if Tammy were afraid of his temper. Maybe I'm applying too much of what I know about domestic violence into this situation, but I have no trouble seeing Tammy getting into a car with him and agreeing to have sex with him on the beach...

Yes, except for the fact that he's got blind items on Kevin Spacey/Harvey Weinstein/etc. dating back to 2012-2013.

I agree that some of the commenters get out of control with all the Illuminati/Satanic stuff, but someone is funneling accurate information to this guy.

I obviously don't know about Tammy's case. I see the points that Hot Jock and others are making. On the other hand, it really is an interesting theory...

Also Firestarter. I think people tend to get Poltergeist and Firestarter mixed up, although I'm not sure how...
