April 12, 2009 is Easter Sunday but also marked 5 years and 1 month since Mary Denise Lands allegedly walked away from her Waldon Pond Townhouse in Marshall, Michigan. Christopher Luke Pratt, her former fiance waited 44 hours before calling Mary's parent's in California to ask if she was there? He has told nothing but lies since then and is a "suspect" in the open homicide investigation of Mary's disappearance. He is currently serving a 5-15 year sentence at MDOC Mound Prison in Detroit for domestic violence crimes against a more recent girl-friend, Norrene Parker. Inmate Pratt's earliest possible release date is February 2012. He has not yet been charged with any crimes related to Mary's disappearance and murder.
Holidays are especially difficult for the Marshall family and we thought we would share something with our friends and supporters.Several years ago Mary's sister put together a hand-made quilt containing pieces of the various medical scrub clothing that Mary wore during employment at Day One Family Healthcare, PC in Battle Creek. The vibrant patterns and colors truly display the vitality that Mary demonstrated each and every day during her 39 years on this earth. She was always friendly, happy, positive and optimistic with such a contagious smile, and believed her family was the most important thing in her life.
Take a few minutes this Easter weekend to view Mary's quilt and if you like please feel free to call Cliff & Anita and wish them well. (269.781.4508)
If you have any information on Mary's case you are urged to please contact law enforcement. As we have been saying for many months, 2009 will finally bring some closure to the Marshall family. The person/s persons responsible for the disappearance and murder of Mary Denise Lands will be held accountable in a court of law, and we will bring Mary home.
Thank you for your support and on behalf of the Mary Lands family we hope you all enjoy a sunny and happy Easter Holiday with your friends and family.

This beautiful piece is Mary Lands.
The family is in our hearts and mind.
Thank you.
HAPPY EASTER to the entire marshall family and jim carlin. mike
If we went back to day ` that mary went missing,It has been said that mary called the marshall police dept. to report that chris was dealing drugs.Do we know who she talked to?And if so,that should tell us who to investigate.It seems to me that a whole lot of important folks in marshall might be covering up a drug dealing operation.
goodnews for every body. carlin and his wife moved back to New York.
chris family freind.
goddby
If true, thats horrible
The only reason the Pratts and their friends are Happy is because Jim wasnt giving up...Your just happy cuz you wont be caught doing stupid crap on video...But I have no doubt in my mind that he wasnt the only one watching you...
It does not matter where Jim lives he will not give up on Mary until she is brought home. Some may not like the way he does things but he does not give up and he is always there for Marys family. Jim is a good man with a big heart. He has done and will continue to do a great job for Mary and her family.
you pratt lovers ought to crawl back in your hole. my family saw jim carlin in his monte yestrday. he is keeping tabs on pratts. like he has to as we all now about jeff in court, both kids in trouble. luke a mess, chris going nuts in prison. yeh all you pratts are inocent. well see soon. pack ur bags.
Update- April 29, 2009- Some very positive news will soon be forthcoming for Cliff, Anita and the entire Marshall family. Thank you to the many friends and supporters of Mary who have all made this happen. We could never have accomplished this much or come so far without your assistance. We will keep you posted.
Then there are those who promised so much with offers of help and then turned their backs. They had claims on tips and then when asked they fail to show up to provide even simple details. Many of these same people drastically needed help from the family at one time or another and it was provided unconditionally. When their own personal drama ended they walked away.
We can understand motives of the Pratt family because most of them are jaded or in total denial of the facts. It does hurt Cliff & Anita when those “so-called” friends who are more accurately called “fair weather” friends walked away with their heads in the sand. They don’t ever call again unless they want something. You know who you are, and you can live with it.
Good Riddance!
The team of police investigators will solve this case and together we will bring Mary home.
By the way, I’m originally from the great Garden State, New Jersey, not from New York. I’ve haven’t moved and there is no wife that would have moved to New York with me. Get your facts right.
We’re all here until Mary is brought home and properly laid to rest.
Jim, well said about the haters, fair weather friends and trouble makers.
Why is Jeff in Court and what trouble are both kids in? I had not heard about that yet.
From what I heard Luke is suspended from school due to drugs. I don't think Josh is in any trouble. I know Sue has her hands full. Its so sad, those kids are good kids. Sue is a wonderful mom and this has got to be hard on her.
I know the toll this has taken on many of the Pratts and it is sad Chris has but Marys family and his own through this. Chris is to selfish to care about anyone even his own family. I wish his family would see that and help find Mary.

I just hope this investigation gets solved
Police in Marshall have arrested a Fort Wayne, Ind., man in the deaths of his 72-year-old mother and 3-year-old daughter.
Acting police Chief Scott McDonald says the 40-year-old man was arrested yesterday upon his release from Oaklawn Hospital in Marshall. He's being held in the Calhoun County Jail and is expected to be arraigned today.
The victims' bodies and the suspect were found Friday night at a motel in Marshall.
McDonald tells the Battle Creek Enquirer that the suspect apparently made calls or sent text messages to relatives in Fort Wayne threatening to kill others and himself. They then tracked the suspect's cell phone to Marshall.
this just proves a point the town of marshall likes to talk. anyways how do you know sue is a great mom?? what to the city of marshall to know everything? oh that right people can gossip.
