Included in them are issues of domestic violence and the characteristics of perpetrators who engage in physical, sexual, and emotional abuse.<BR/>It is a national tragedy of which Mary was a victim. It is not our fault that Mr. Pratt has a prominence on some of the pages. <BR/>In my opinion, his relationships are terminated with battered and broken women left in an evil wake of domestic violence. Christopher Luke Pratt is now in jail for allegations of serious crimes against a woman. We had nothing to do with those events and he brought it on himself. We’ll watch for the outcome of those charges determined by a jury of his peers at his October trial.<BR/>More and more people are coming forward and talking about what really occurred on March 12, 2004, the night Mary disappeared. <BR/>There is a saying, “Good things will come to those who wait” The Marshall family has waited for over 3 ½ years but we will soon know the facts. These sites have brought people together for that ultimate goal.<BR/>If you personally don’t like what you see, don’t open your browser. You also have the opportunity to build your own Pratt web site so put your sarcasm to some good use.<BR/>We will bring Mary home very soon, but for now we all keep hope and hold on to the words, “Good things will come to those who wait”Justinian Investigative Serviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717168024715879452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29247371.post-56614652572616639322007-09-04T16:29:00.000-04:002007-09-04T16:29:00.000-04:00Thank you so much for your comment.

Her parent's released a few balloons from the Brooks Memorial Fountain in remembrance. It was yet another difficult day for family and friends.<BR/>Your kind and sincere words bring much comfort to the Marshall family. Because of many good people in our community talking about the case we have confidence that we will soon bring Mary home to a peaceful and final rest.<BR/>Even the most evil people should recognize that this is coming to an end. We ask for that one anonymous tip to point us to an exact location of where Mary Denise Lands can be located. <BR/>Thank you again for your heartfelt remarks.Justinian Investigative Serviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717168024715879452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29247371.post-32243453655582663902007-09-04T15:52:00.000-04:002007-09-04T15:52:00.000-04:00Heartbreaking as it may be, Mary is probably not o...Heartbreaking as it may be, Mary is probably not on this earth anymore. What a sad loss for her children, what a terrible loss of potential for her parents, her life taken away from her, her right to enjoy her grandchild, her right to grow old. I have been following these blogs for a year now and although I never knew Mary, she must have been an incredible person to have so many people who loved her and still fight to find her. How venemous does one have to be to belittle an event whose sole purpose is to promote awareness of her situation. This wasn't an event to spite anyone. You would think that most people would welcome any and every opportunity that could lead to her recovery. It is only the cornered animal that will lash out to inflict harm aimlessly. I wonder who is feeling cornered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29247371.post-54149506515807634732007-09-04T12:46:00.000-04:002007-09-04T12:46:00.000-04:00It wasn't a "biker party."

He also presented a motion for a bond reduction on the defendant. Mr. Pratt was present for the hearing after being escorted into court by a deputy sheriff. Three members of the Pratt family were also present in court.<BR/>Chief Assistant Prosecutor Dan Buscher represented the people. After a 20 minute hearing Judge Stephen B. Miller denied the defense request to quash any of the charges, and further denied reduction of the $75,000.00 bond. Mr. Pratt was then returned to the Calhoun County Correctional Facility.Justinian Investigative Serviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717168024715879452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29247371.post-23988423408234781162007-08-13T10:31:00.000-04:002007-08-13T10:31:00.000-04:00When Chris was married to Sue, the only time we th...When Chris was married to Sue, the only time we the Pratts ever seen them was at Funerals or once at a family get together so for her to make a comment about the rest of the Pratts of how we stick together she hasn't a clue! She does not know us really in any kind of way, she only knows Chris the one she was married to, and if there was trouble in her life with him it would be something we were not aware of at all because i will add that some of us Pratts were not brought up the same, some of us were brought up to respect ppl, and to be proud of who we are, don't think for one moment that in the back of our minds we our thinking did chris do it? But we still give him hugs, and we say hi,and we still sit with him at football games. When everyone shut him out, we couldn't! We have always respected your boy's, we love them dearly and miss them not coming around like they used to! <BR/>When Chris and Mary were together he never came around then but it wasn't untill after she ended up missing did we start seeing him come around more, but again it's in our nature to respect the one who has no one!

You don't to be quite focused on what you want to say?<BR/>The comments removed were deleted for a good reason. Mr. Marshall and the family were distressed in some of the remarks and the family asked me to take these actions.<BR/>How do you know exactly what and when was deleted unless you might have been the one writing those comments?<BR/>We know that all the Pratt's are not bad people and our efforts are to find the person/s responsible for the disappearance and murder of Mary Denise Lands. We believe that law enforcement is now doing a better job and the case will soon be solved.<BR/>Mr. Marshall and I would be glad to meet with anyone if you believe that something is not being done correctly and you would like more information about the case. I personally made this offer to many people including the Pratt family but it was ignored.<BR/>My email and telephone number is well known to all. If you would like to discuss this matter further we'd be glad to do so. Anonymous comments are fine for those who wish to use that method. This site is a forum for the public to provide information and discuss Mary’s case. I have no doubt it is even followed by members of law enforcement. They might recognize something that is important to them in the site contents of which we are unaware, and they have many more resources than we do to accomplish those goals.<BR/>We have a theory on the disappearance of Mary Denise Lands. If you wish to discuss it please feel free to contact the family or myself. If you know more, or believe something different you should also contact law enforcement.Justinian Investigative Serviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717168024715879452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29247371.post-89880708149166666782007-08-05T22:09:00.000-04:002007-08-05T22:09:00.000-04:00JIM,MIKE M,SUE H this is for you guys??????I knew ...JIM,MIKE M,SUE H this is for you guys??????I knew all these people growing up in Albion.
