Five men from the same family are in custody in a stunning child sex crimes case in Missouri — and cadaver dogs are now being used in a hunt for possible bodies of victims, Fox4KC.com reports.

Police are searching a patch of land on a farm property Wednesday near Bates City, Mo., a day after the men were charged with committing sex crimes against children, according to Fox4KC.com.

Charged with multiple counts of child rape are 77-year-old Burrell Edward Mohler Sr. and his son Burrell Edward Mohler Jr., 53, both of Independence, Mo., along with 48-year-old Jared Leroy Mohler of Columbia, Mo.

David A. Mohler, 52, of Lamoni, Iowa, was charged with one count of child rape, and Roland Neil Mohler, 47, of Bates City, Mo., is accused of using a child in a sexual performance — a felony. The relationships of Jared, David and Roland Mohler to Burrell Mohler Sr. and Burrell Mohler Jr. weren't immediately known.

The crimes allegedly were committed from the late 1980s until the mid-1990s.

The elder Burrell Mohler is accused of drugging and forcibly raping a child under 12 and using a child in a sexual performance. His son is charged with sexual assault of a child under 14 and using a child in a sexual performance.

It wasn't clear how many young victims there allegedly were. All five men are being held behind bars without bond.

A press conference will be held Wednesday morning to discuss more details of the case.

Father, 4 Sons Arrested On 14 Sex Charges
All 5 Held In Lafayette County Jail After Coordinated Arrests

POSTED: 6:19 am CST November 11, 2009
UPDATED: 10:24 am CST November 11, 2009

LEXINGTON, Mo. -- Police across Missouri coordinated arrests of five family members who are being charged with 14 counts of various child sex offenses.

A father and his four adult sons were arrested in the culmination of months of investigation, according to investigators. The investigation started after a victim came forward over the summer about decades-old crimes involving the men.

The investigation and arrests involved nearly a dozen law enforcement agencies and many of the agencies worked into the night to book the men into jail.

The men arrested are father Burrell Mohler Sr., 77, of Independence, Mo.; Burrell Mohler Jr., 53, of Independence; Roland Mohler, 47, of Bates City, Mo.; Jared Mohler, 48, of Columbia, Mo.; and David Mohler, 52, of Lamoni, Iowa.

The charges are:

- Burrell Mohler Sr.: one count of forcible rape with a child less than 12 years old by the use of forcible compulsion, two counts of felony rape and two felony counts of using a child in a sexual performance.

- Burrell Mohler Jr.: one felony count of deviate sexual assault with a child less than 14 and two counts of using a child in a sexual performance.

- David A. Mohler: one felony count of forcible rape with a child less than 12 years old by use of forcible compulsion.

- Jared Leroy Mohler: One felony count of forcible rape with a child less than 12 years old by use of forcible compulsion, one felony count of forcible sodomy knowingly having deviate sexual intercourse with a child less than 12 years old by use forcible compulsion and two felony counts of use of a child in a sexual performance.

- Roland Neil Mohler: one felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance.

All five men are being held in the Lafayette County Jail.

Because these suspects are all relatives, investigators orchestrated Tuesday's arrests to happen all at the same time, in four different cities. Investigators feared the arrest of one man could otherwise tip off the other suspects. Crews ended up only needing to be in three cities, because David Mohler was in Independence, where he worked at Graceland University in the IT department.

The Missouri Highway Patrol said the investigation also involved the Western Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force. Investigators said it was a victim's tip that started them on the investigation.

Investigators said more details will be released at a press conference Wednesday.

Joe McFarland is a neighbor to Burrell Mohler Sr., in the 1300 block of Dodgion Avenue in Independence, and said he is shocked about what he heard Tuesday.

"He seemed really friendly," McFarland said. "Never would have expected it."

McFarland said he met Burrel Mohler Sr., shortly after he moved into a home on South Pearl Street. McFarland said Mohler noticed he had a dog and no dog house, so he offered to move and reassemble a dog house for him.

"We spent the whole weekend together, got to know each other," McFarland said. "Totally nice guy. Very unsuspecting."

Mohler had lived in his house for more than 20 years and McFarland said he and his neighbors thought something might have happened to him after police cars were outside the house Tuesday.

KCTV5 confirmed Burrell Mohler Sr. was once an Independence firefighter, stationed at a firehouse on North Spring Street. A spokesperson for the Independence Fire Department declined to comment on the situation.

Authorities search rural property for evidence in sex crimes
From Staff and Wire Reports


Authorities are searching a rural property just south of Bates City, Mo., for glass jars with notes written by children who were allegedly being abused.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said crews are searching several acres of land just south Bates City in western Missouri, in connection with the arrest of five men on various charges of sexually abusing children.
Five members of the same family — all men — were arrested Tuesday.
The men, ages 47 to 77, were charged with 14 felonies, according to a news release from the Missouri Highway Patrol. The charges include forcible sodomy and forcible rape with a child less than 12 years old and use of a child in a sexual performance.
The alleged crimes happened between 1988 and 1995, according to online charging documents.
Two men from Independence were charged — Burrell Edward Mohler Sr., 77, and Burrell Edward Mohler Jr., 53. Also charged were Jared Leroy Mohler, 48, of Columbia; Roland Neil Mohler, 47, of Bates City; and David A. Mohler, 52, of Iowa. All five were in the Lafayette County Jail.
The Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department, the Rural Missouri Major Case Squad and the Highway Patrol investigated.
The Western Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force is aiding in the continuing investigation.
Corporal Bill Lowe of the Highway Patrol said one of the victims came forward to investigators in mid-August and that other children are cooperating.
Lowe said the victims allegedly buried glass jars around the property, filled with messages “about what was happening to them.”
Lowe wouldn’t elaborate further.

I think they may have found them performing in child pornography, notice the Western Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force is involved.  I hope they find the glass jars with the notes the children wrote.

November 10, 2009

LAFAYETTE COUNTY, Mo. - Graphic details have emerged in a child sex crime's case against a father and his four adult sons in Lafayette County, Mo. The five men have been charged with sex crimes against children under the age of 12. The probable cause from Lafayette County prosecutors states that several female relatives and one male relative of the five men were abused. At one point, a female relative said she was forced to have sex with a dog.
On Wednesday, police returned to the farm property in Lafayette County with cadaver dogs in an effort to search for bodies that may or may not be buried there. Investigators also brought in excavation equipment and were digging in the southwest corner of the property.

She said she and her sisters would adorn their hair with flowers and wear special dresses for the ceremonies.
The woman told detectives that the father and son, plus the other three adult brothers were all part of an incident where they used a family pet, a German shepherd, to sexually abuse her.

Police search Mo. land in child sex crimes case
By BILL DRAPER – 18 minutes ago

LEXINGTON, Mo. — Authorities were searching a rural property in western Missouri on Wednesday for glass jars with notes written by children who allegedly were abused by their relatives about 20 years ago.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said crews were scouring several acres of land outside Bates City in connection with the arrest of five men on various charges of sexually abusing children.
Five members of the same family — all men — were arrested Tuesday. They face charges of crimes against children, using a child in a sexual performance, forcible sodomy and forcible rape, crimes that allegedly occurred from 1988 through 1995, according to court records.
Arrested were Burrell Edward Mohler Sr., 77, of Independence, and his sons, Burrell Edward Mohler Jr., 53, also of Independence; Jared Leroy Mohler, 48, of Columbia; Roland Neil Mohler, 47, of Bates City; and David A. Mohler, 52, of Lamoni, Iowa.
All five were being held in the Lafayette County jail on cash bonds ranging from $30,000 to $75,000. It was not immediately clear if they had attorneys.
Cpl. Bill Lowe of the highway patrol said one of the alleged victims, a daughter of one of the accused, came forward to investigators in mid-August with the allegations and that her siblings have been cooperating in the probe.
Lowe said the woman told investigators that she and the other alleged victims, three girls and a boy, buried glass jars around the property, filled with messages "about what was happening to them" when they were younger.
"Right now what our main focus is the glass jars and trying to locate them," Lowe said. "Those jars have that information."
He said crews were using dogs to assist in the search on the property that had been owned by the Mohler family outside Bates City, which is about 30 miles east of Kansas City, Mo.
Five victims have been located, but the number "could possibly expand," Lowe said. He said all were under the age of 12 at the time of the alleged abuse.The Lafayette County Sheriff's Department, the Rural Missouri Major Case Squad and the Highway Patrol were investigating, with the help of the Western Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force.
Columbia police seized a computer and discs from Jared Mohler's home on Tuesday, police spokeswoman Jessie Haden said.
One of the suspects, David Mohler, has worked for Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, for 27 years and was arrested on its Independence campus.
"Police came in and put handcuffs on him and led him away," university President John Sellars said. "It was all very quiet and subdued."
He said David Mohler periodically traveled to Independence to work on Graceland's phone systems there. Sellars described David Mohler as "a very nice person who got along well with his colleagues."
"We were stunned," Sellars said. "At this point these are allegations, and of course we need to hear more because I don't know very much at this point."
Sellars said he spoke to David Mohler's wife, Michelle Mohler, on Tuesday and that she also was "shocked and stunned."
He said the couple has grown children, but he did not know their ages or where they lived.
Deborah Burris, who has lived across the street from Burrell Mohler Sr. for several years, described the suspect as a friendly, helpful neighbor.
"We didn't even know he had sons. We didn't know anyone but Burrell himself," Burris said.
She said she thought Mohler lived with his wife and a daughter, but she had never seen them. He was occasionally seen walking around the neighborhood but had appeared frail lately, Burris said.
She said Mohler's house has an apartment on the north side, and there had been "quite a bit of activity there at different times."
"I had thought maybe someone was moving in or out of there," Burris said.

Above highlighted in bold makes me believe even more strongly that they were deeply involved in child pornography.  It sickens me to think what these kids have gone through.  There are 44 cases of missing children in Missouri and I've noticed that alot of them seemed to go missing along interstate 70 between St Louis and Kansas City. I don't know why they waited so long to come forward but I think in one of the videos it said the older Mohler lived with his disabled daughter. It didn't not expound on her diability but that may have had prevented her from coming forward.

Five Missouri family members arrested on child rape charges
November 11th, 2009 - 2:07 pm ICT by BNO

MISSOURI (BNO NEWS) — Missouri state and county officials on Tuesday announced a shocking child sex case allegedly perpetrated by a father and his four adult sons. Neighbors of the father called his arrest a surprise.

Captain Robert L. Powell, the commanding officer of the Missouri Highway Patrol Troop A, in conjunction with Lafayette County Sheriff Kerrick Alumbaugh announced the arrest of five individuals of the same family. The arrests are the result of a multi-jurisdictional investigation which was initiated by the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department and assisted by the Rural Missouri Major Case Squad, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Burrell Edward Mohler Sr., 77, of Independence, Missouri was the oldest person arrested in connection with the case. Mohler has been charged with a Class A felony of forcible rape with a child less than 12 years old by the use of forcible compulsion. He has also been charged with two counts of Class B felony rape and two counts of Class C felony of use of a child in a sexual performance.

Burrell Edward Mohler Sr. was, according to online family documents, married with Alice Elefson until she died in December 1991. Alice and Mohler had at least four children; Eddie, David, Jared and Roland. Burrell Edward Mohler Sr. later married a new wife on October 10, 1992.

Burrell Edward Mohler Jr., 53, of Independence, Missouri is believed to be the son of the 77 year old Mohler. He was charged with a Class C felony of deviate sexual assault with a child less than 14 years old and two counts of Class C felony use of a child in a sexual performance.

All five individuals are currently being held at the Lafayette County Jail on bond and officials say the investigation is continuing. Authorities did not immediately release any information on the circumstances of the crimes and it was not immediately clear if the victims were related to the family, but officials said it involved more than one child.

“I can tell you this is a complete surprise to me,” a neighbor of 77 year old Mohler told BNO News on Tuesday evening. The neighbor, who lived in the street for more than twenty years, described Mohler as a “good man” although he did not know him personally.

Mohler was often out in his yard and the neighbor had brief conversations with him at times. He said he never saw any of his sons who were also charged in the case, and did not recall any suspicious activity at the home. He continued on to say he once saw a girl inside the home, but was not sure who she was. Mohler, according to the neighbor, was believed to be living with a wife and his disabled daughter, even though he had never seen them.

The Rural Missouri Major Case Squad is a multi-jurisdictional task force and its members working on the case include the Sheriff’s Departments of Jackson, Johnson, and Pettis Counties, as well as the Odessa, Higginsville, Warrensburg, University of Central Missouri, and Sedalia Police Departments. The Western Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force is also assisting in the investigation.
