In the winter of 1992, a cloud of uncertainty descended upon a family in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the disappearance of three-year-old Randi Layton Evers. On the evening of February 15th, a birthday party was being held for Randi's father, Mike Evers, at their apartment on East Rochelle Avenue. As the night progressed, young Randi, a blond, blue-eyed boy with a scar near his left eye, fell asleep on a blanket in the living room. He was last seen between 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. on February 16th, wearing a black shirt and black pants with a blue diamond design on the knees. His stepmother, Tina Evers, reportedly left the party with friends around 11:30 p.m. to go to a local casino. When she returned in the early morning hours, Randi was gone. There were no signs of a forced entry, and an initial search of the area yielded no clues as to his whereabouts. It was considered unlikely that Randi, who was afraid of the dark, had wandered off on his own into the cold night. The investigation into Randi's disappearance quickly focused on his father and stepmother. According to police reports from the time, Mike Evers showed little concern upon learning his son was missing and had to be pulled from bed by officers. Both he and Tina were described as uncooperative with the investigation and initially refused to take polygraph tests. Tina Evers later told a newspaper that they failed the tests by incorrectly answering questions about Randi's location. The couple's behavior and perceived lack of interest in the case raised suspicion among investigators. A grand jury was convened to hear evidence, but no indictments were ever handed down in connection with Randi's disappearance. Theories circulated that the child may have been sold to settle a drug debt, a suggestion Tina Evers mentioned police had questioned them about. Years turned into decades, and the case of Randi Evers grew cold, though it was never officially closed. The apartment complex where he was last seen has since been demolished, a physical testament to the passage of time. Randi's biological mother, Alexis Maynard, who had legal custody of him at the time of his disappearance, was initially considered a suspect but was later cleared. She has expressed criticism of the initial police investigation, believing it focused too heavily on Mike and Tina Evers. Tragically, Randi's father, Mike Evers, passed away in 2014 without ever knowing what became of his son. The case saw a flicker of hope in 2015 when a detective mentioned a potential DNA hit, suggesting Randi might be alive, but this lead did not result in a resolution. Despite the extensive investigation, which involved local police and the FBI, and the distribution of age-progressed images over the years, the disappearance of Randi Evers remains an unsolved mystery that has left a lasting impact on the Las Vegas community.
