June 17, 2007- Another Father’s Day has come and gone with no sign of our beloved daughter.
Another year of heartache, another year of crying ourselves to sleep. Over 3 years now, and 39 long, lonely months since Mary disappeared without her smile to brighten our days and her laughter to warm our hearts.
Have you ever had a child disappear without a trace? I can tell you it is the most gut-wrenching sinking feeling you could ever imagine. Wondering what happened to her or what nightmare she endured on that fateful night 39 months ago? We learned too late that Mary was a severe victim of domestic violence. If only we’d known, we could have whisked her away to safety and protected her from an ultimate death on that fateful night.
Many of you are aware how crucial an initial investigation is into finding a missing person. A strong multi-jurisdictional task force effort must commence immediately. That point was proven last week in the case of the woman missing from the parking lot of a store in Kansas. Even though Mary’s investigation was not handled properly, we still seek your help in finding my daughter by providing information to fill in the pieces of this tragic puzzle. We plead to you to help us.
We know the only way to solve this mystery, bring justice for Mary and put the murderers away forever is for good citizens like you to provide us the information to bring her home. Without her body, we can’t lay her to rest and have a proper burial. We plead for your help in finding Mary.
We want to say thank you to our investigator, Jim Carlin of Justinian Investigative Services who has tirelessly donated his time and resources. Jim has followed up on every lead, every scrap of evidence available to him and sincerely listened to those who have provided us valuable information.
We also want to say thank you to the citizens of Marshall who have given us hope, love and comfort during this horrible ordeal. We couldn’t go on without you.

2007 marks the 4th Father’s Day that Cliff Marshall and his family have endured the tragedy of Mary’s disappearance. Lets make this the last one without answers to their questions, Where is Mary? and, When will we have justice for Mary?
More and more people are coming forward and providing us information and we soon will bring Mary home as a result of assistance from good citizens in the community. In August, we will hold a motorcycle benefit run on behalf of public awareness for Mary Denise Lands. It will be a 55-mile "Ride for Mary" and already people are signing up for the event. Ball Joint - Godfather’s Pizza, Atlas Sales-(Anheuser-Busch) and other businesses in Battle Creek are helping the family as well as hundreds of other friends and supporters. We will soon post details of the ride and we thank everyone for their help.
On Saturday, August 18, 2007 the community will see 300 motorcycles roaring through Battle Creek, Burlington and Marshall and those riders and the public will be demanding an answer to the question, Where is Mary? 2007 will be the year that Mary is brought home and the person/s responsible for her disappearance and murder will be held accountable in a court of law.

Its sad to see that another father day has to come and go with out having the peace of mind , come on lets get Mary home so the family can have a peace of mind,
It breaks my heart to know that the family has to go throw all of this not knowing where she is, the people who know where she may be stand up and be honest and tell the correct people and the lord will be fair with you,
To Mary Lands family , my heart and soul are with you in this time and need, my prayers will be with you until your daughter is brought home to you, god bless you and your family
go Mr Marshall. We are all behind you and bring Mary back home.
I hope the thunder of the motorcycles is heard clearly by Chris... because it wont stop there... at some point .. in some time no matter how long it is.. this case will be solved,, and there is no statute of limitations on murder... His only chance is to plea out and confess...
Maybe with Chris spending time in the Calhoun County Jail , that is the right place for him to be and hope he will not get out, you belong in thier your creep, maybe with the roar of the bikes will make you come around and tell all who wants to knwo what you did to Mary,

February 12th- Happy Birthday Mrs. Marshall!!! I hope you soon get a birthday gift of answers and a better year/years ahead.
My birthday is on March 12th - I have thought of your family for the last 2 years on that day especially.
There have been so many stories of loved ones of missing people finding answers recently.... hopefully this will add to the continuing developments of Mary's case!
I have known part of your family in the past and even though I no longer interact with them, I am still greatly empathetic and touched by what you are all going through.
I wish you a happy birthday and that all your birthday wishes come true!
