Posing as a family sex offenders stun a town

This is so sick. This ruse required elaborate planning to implement. Make up and Razors to give the appearance of acne??? Psychopaths are addicted to inflicting pain and suffering and there is no limit to the lengths they will go to get their fix.


EL MIRAGE, Ariz., Jan. 31 — To neighbors, Casey Price was a seventh grader with acne and a baseball cap who lived an unremarkable life among a bevy of male relatives.

Neil H. Rodreick II

Laura Segall for The New York Times

Lori Morgan, a teacher in Chino Valley, Ariz., had Neil H. Rodreick II in her class for one day this month.

He built the occasional skateboard ramp and did wheelies on his bicycle down the streets of this subdivision of stucco homes north of Phoenix.

In nearby Surprise, where Casey was enrolled as a 12-year-old in a public school for four months, he was regarded as a shy, average student with chronic attendance problems. A man identified as his uncle had registered him, attended curriculum night and e-mailed his teachers about homework assignments.

Now Casey is in jail, and his former neighbors and classmates have learned the unthinkable: Not only is Casey not Casey — his real name is Neil H. Rodreick II — but he is also a 29-year-old convicted sex offender who kept a youthful appearance with the aid of razors and makeup.

“Obviously there are a lot of emotions to work through,ᾠ said Mindy Newlin, the mother of a kindergartener at Imagine Charter School, the school in Surprise where Mr. Rodreick posed as Casey. “We are just shocked.ᾠ

Robin Kaiser’s daughter Kaitlin shared a class with “Casey,ᾠ but he failed to make an impression, Ms. Kaiser said. “She remembers him, that he was quiet and sat in the back of the classroom,ᾠ she said. “She said he looked like he had been held back.ᾠ

Janet R. Lincoln, the public defender for Yavapai County, who represents Mr. Rodreick and the other three men, did not return multiple phone calls. A receptionist in her office said Ms. Lincoln would have no comment. The men have been indicted on numerous counts and are scheduled to appear in court in late February; they have already pleaded not guilty to charges of fraud and failing to register as sex offenders.

Mr. Rodreick spent seven years in prison in Oklahoma for making lewd and indecent proposals to two 6-year-old boys. After being released in 2002, law enforcement officials said, he was able to convince Lonnie Stiffler, 61, and Robert J. Snow, 43, who had been trolling the Internet for boys, that he was a minor.

In 2005, he talked the two men into taking him from Oklahoma to live with them in Arizona, where Mr. Stiffler posed as Mr. Rodreick’s grandfather and Mr. Snow as his uncle, and both men regularly had sex with him, the authorities said. Another man living in the house, Brian Nellis, 34, a sex offender Mr. Rodreick had met in prison, is believed to have aided Mr. Rodreick in the ruse, the authorities said.

Mr. Rodreick continued the charade as a minor for nearly two years, the authorities said, registering at four charter schools in Arizona, until this month, when school administrators in Chino Valley called the sheriff.

The police and school officials in each location where “Caseyᾠ enrolled said they knew of no children harmed, although the indictment against Mr. Rodreick includes an assault count. The authorities are trying to determine, with the help of videos confiscated from the men, if there were victims in the schools.

Sex offender's ruse rattles charter school
Security panel created to avoid repeat incident

Tony Lombardo
The Arizona Republic
Jan. 26, 2007 12:00 AM

Leaders at a Surprise charter school are still coping with the discovery that a sex offender posed as a seventh-grade student for months.

"We're doing everything in our power to do whatever is necessary to re-establish a sense of security here," said Rhonda Cagle, spokeswoman of the Imagine School at Rosefield.

Casey Price played at recess, did his homework and was considered a good pupil.

But Casey, a former student at the Surprise charter school, shouldn't have been enrolled. He was actually a 29-year-old sex offender named Neil Havens Rodreick II.

Rodreick now sits in a Prescott jail charged with fraud, forgery, identity theft and failure to register as a sex offender.

So far, there are no reports of inappropriate conduct with students in Surprise, though the investigation is ongoing, said Officer Michael Stewart, Surprise police spokesman. Officials also are investigating whether Rodreick was enrolled at other Arizona schools in areas where he had lived, such as Payson.

Imagine School officials have formed a task force in an effort to review policies to prevent this from happening again, Cagle said. The school turned Rodreick's forged documentation over to police but would not elaborate on them because they are evidence.

The incident has led other schools to double-check their policies, as well.

"It was an awareness for us, to make sure we're keeping with our policy," said Tim Gonzales, middle school principal at the Paradise Education Center, a charter school also in Surprise.

Though Rodreick's mug shot shows a man, it wasn't difficult for him to blend in, said Susan Quayle, spokeswoman for the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.

"You can't tell from his picture, but he's a very small guy. I would say he has a delicate looking bone structure," she said.

Rodreick walked, talked and dressed like a teenager. At 5-foot-6, 120 pounds, he was small enough not to raise suspicion at Imagine School. He shaved his body hair and wore pancake makeup to hide his age.

"This individual stood on the curb at pick-up time. Parents walked by him every day. Nothing drew attention," Cagle said.

He was a student at the Surprise school from August to November. He was shy, never visited the principal's office, and neither his behavior nor appearance ever caused concern from parents, teachers or administrators.

"By all accounts he was quiet, he kept to himself most of the time and appeared to be a good student. He did his homework and turned it in," said Cagle.

Rodreick's con was good enough to convince two men he was 12. Rodreick met the men, Lonnie Stiffler, 61, and Robert Snow, 43, over the Internet two years ago, and later in person in Oklahoma. Evidence shows he had sexual relations and lived with them in Payson and El Mirage before moving with them to Chino Valley. He attended the Surprise school while living in El Mirage.

But Rodreick's con didn't fly at Mingus Springs Charter School in Chino Valley, 90 miles northwest of Phoenix.

On Jan. 17, school officials reported suspicious and possibly fraudulent student registration paperwork. Stiffler tried to enroll the "boy" in the school and claimed he was his grandson. Officials also had concern the "boy" was older than 12. This led to an investigation by the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office and the arrest of four men.

The Sheriff's office arrested Stiffler and Snow as well as Brian Nellis, a former cellmate of Rodreick's in Oklahoma, who may have helped with the con. Charges against the men include fraud, forgery and identity theft.

News broke of the arrests last Friday, and a former teacher at Imagine School recognized "Casey." The teacher notified Imagine officials, who spent Friday evening pulling records. They went to the Surprise Police Department on Saturday.

Yavapai County Sheriff's Office stated in a report they believe Rodreick may have disguised his age in order to "ingratiate himself with potential juvenile victims."

In 1996, Rodreick was convicted of lewd and indecent proposal to a minor, according to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.

it sounds to weird to be true.

which is exactly why he got away with it. "Hiding in plain sight". The whole thing about psychopaths is that their behavior is simply so incredible to the average person that the average person cannot grasp someone actually doing such a thing (whatever that "thing" is).

 

[Cyre2067]

That makes perfect sense....

i was reading about the very same phenomena in Myth of Sanity, Stout puts forth that things like DID, and other dissociative disorders are relatively unknown and as such become invisible.

More reason to educate ourselves.... about everything...

Thankfully not everyone was asleep at the wheel and these guys got caught before any kids got hurt.

 

[rs]

Thankfully not everyone was asleep at the wheel and these guys got caught before any kids got hurt.

Well, this is not yet clear, unfortunately.

 

[brainwave]

We definitely don't know if children were hurt but considering the extreme measures this person took to get close kids who know. He did this for two years. A lot can happen in that time, especially with people like this. When and what was the assault mentioned?

 

[rs]

Either there is no actual assault -or- it has been reported but the authorities are keeping it quiet while they investigate - and/or - age 12 is a particularly difficult age to come to grips with this kind of thing and children at this age use denial/burial as a coping mechanism.

Most of the pedophile priest victims are around this age and the reason these incidents stayed buried for so long is that it took these people decades to come to grips with "something evil happened to me and I must come forward to warn against the perpetrators and or punish the perpetrators". A 12 year old does not (usually) have that degree of emotional maturity and strength.

The bottom line is that any actual assault victims are not known and it is not known that there are no victims.

 

[atreides]

After having done a bit of research one thing comes to mind: What is reported is rarely the case.

The big issue I have with this particular story is, considering the times, it's rather convenient, from a legislative perspective. It is also highly focused on homosexuality, whether true or not, this smacks of orchestrated, and possibly not even true. I have read so many cases and essays on miscarriages of justice in regards to sex offenders that it's really hard to see who is on first, even if you were in the thick of it. The legislation regarding sexual criminals is draconian to the extreme, it gets by everyone because no healthy person would argue against a law protecting children from predators, unless they actually read it.

What research have you done on this?

Now admittedly there is a lot of hysteria about sex crimes, but I have read many articles regarding the apparent inability of true sexual predators to be rehabilitated. This fits in well with psychopathy because in order for someone to be rehabilitated, they first must admit that their current viewpoints or behaviors are in need of modification. A psychopath is incapable of coming to this conclusion, therefore any hope of rehabilitation is not justified.

If, therefore, it really is true that there is no rehabilitation to be done, then a "lock them up and throw away the key" approach makes a certain sense.

 

[Rick]

Yes, this is disturbing in both the real case - if it is true - and in the case of problem-solution-reaction. I can see this event being used to justify all sorts of draconian measures, from national ID cards to microchipping the population - or both. Sometimes the only way to find out what the real reason for this event happening now is to wait for outcry.
I don't know. I look at that photo and I see a man in his 20s. Wasn't there a case a few years back of a man who was able to fool Princeton into matriculating him? He spent several happy semesters as a student. I forget how he was eventually caught.

HEADLINE: Posing as Family, Sex Offenders Stun Schools and the Neighbors

BYLINE: By JENNIFER STEINHAUER; Cheryl Camp contributed reporting from Kingfisher, Okla., and Alain Delaqueriere from New York.

DATELINE: EL MIRAGE, Ariz., Jan. 31

BODY:


To neighbors, Casey Price was a seventh grader with acne and a baseball cap who lived an unremarkable life among a bevy of male relatives.

He built the occasional skateboard ramp and did wheelies on his bicycle down the streets of this subdivision of stucco homes north of Phoenix.

In nearby Surprise, where Casey was enrolled as a 12-year-old in a public school for four months, he was regarded as a shy, average student with chronic attendance problems. A man identified as his uncle had registered him, attended curriculum night and e-mailed his teachers about homework assignments.

Now Casey is in jail, and his former neighbors and classmates have learned the unthinkable: Not only is Casey not Casey -- his real name is Neil H. Rodreick II -- but he is also a 29-year-old convicted sex offender who kept a youthful appearance with the aid of razors and makeup.

And the men known as his uncle, grandfather and cousin, who until recently shared a three-bedroom house with him here, were not family at all, but a web of convicted sex offenders and predators, law enforcement officials say, preying in part on one another.

A retracing of Mr. Rodreick's tracks over the past several years shows that he is under investigation in three states. The authorities in four jurisdictions say he repeatedly failed to register as a sex offender, housed a large cache of child pornography in his computer and, based on videos found by the police, had sex with at least one boy.

''Obviously there are a lot of emotions to work through,'' said Mindy Newlin, the mother of a kindergartener at Imagine Charter School, the school in Surprise where Mr. Rodreick posed as Casey. ''We are just shocked.''

Robin Kaiser's daughter Kaitlin shared a class with ''Casey,'' but he failed to make an impression, Ms. Kaiser said. ''She remembers him, that he was quiet and sat in the back of the classroom,'' she said. ''She said he looked like he had been held back.''

Janet R. Lincoln, the public defender for Yavapai County, who represents Mr. Rodreick and the other three men, did not return multiple phone calls. A receptionist in her office said Ms. Lincoln would have no comment. The men have been indicted on numerous counts and are scheduled to appear in court in late February; they have already pleaded not guilty to charges of fraud and failing to register as sex offenders.

Mr. Rodreick spent seven years in prison in Oklahoma for making lewd and indecent proposals to two 6-year-old boys. After being released in 2002, law enforcement officials said, he was able to convince Lonnie Stiffler, 61, and Robert J. Snow, 43, who had been trolling the Internet for boys, that he was a minor.

In 2005, he talked the two men into taking him from Oklahoma to live with them in Arizona, where Mr. Stiffler posed as Mr. Rodreick's grandfather and Mr. Snow as his uncle, and both men regularly had sex with him, the authorities said. Another man living in the house, Brian Nellis, 34, a sex offender Mr. Rodreick had met in prison, is believed to have aided Mr. Rodreick in the ruse, the authorities said.

Mr. Rodreick continued the charade as a minor for nearly two years, the authorities said, registering at four charter schools in Arizona, until this month, when school administrators in Chino Valley called the sheriff.

The police and school officials in each location where ''Casey'' enrolled said they knew of no children harmed, although the indictment against Mr. Rodreick includes an assault count. The authorities are trying to determine, with the help of videos confiscated from the men, if there were victims in the schools.

''With boys it is a really tough deal,'' said Lt. Van Gillock of the Police Department in El Reno, Okla., where Mr. Rodreick is believed to have posed as a 12-year-old to ingratiate himself with boys at church. ''If they did it voluntarily, they have the stigma of homosexuality, and if it is forced, well, boys are supposed to be tough and the things the boys have on them gives them an embarrassment factor.''

Though many parents have publicly praised the Surprise school's handling of the deception, Mr. Rodreick's enrollment has raised questions about admissions procedures, which officials at Imagine, one of the state's largest charter schools, said they were reviewing. Arizona, the nation's fastest-growing state, is a leader in charter school enrollment, with more than 450 schools that account for 8 percent of the state's total student body.

''He probably thought that a charter school was easier,'' said Candace Foth, another parent in Surprise. ''It is not really difficult to enroll.''

Mr. Rodreick's time in Arizona was the latest episode in a life speckled with disappointment, crimes and estrangement, according to relatives and law enforcement officials.

When he was growing up in Oklahoma, he was sexually abused by neighbors, said his mother's sister, Jan Bautista, with whom he lived briefly after his release from prison in 2002.

He was 18 in 1996 when the authorities in Chickasha, Okla., charged him with making lewd and indecent proposals to two 6-year-old boys. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and released after serving 7.

From there, Ms. Bautista said, he made his way to San Bernardino County in California, where he stayed with her for about two months. Ms. Bautista said she asked Mr. Rodreick to leave after she found child pornography on her computer and suspected him of lewd acts toward a child. She said she turned her computer over to the sheriff.

''I really hate this man,'' she said. ''I really do. I hope they keep him in prison the rest of his life, because I know he is never going to get well.''

Mr. Rodreick next made his way to Kingfisher County in Oklahoma, where, according to the sheriff, Dennis Banther, he registered as a sex offender. Soon, he was joined in his mobile home in a secluded area by Mr. Nellis, who had served three years in prison after a conviction for lewd molestation, Sheriff Banther said. The two gravitated among fast-food restaurant jobs, the sheriff said, and were seen at a school playground, a library and parks.

The two left Kingfisher County in 2003 for El Reno, Okla., and trouble followed. In 2005, Lieutenant Gillock of the El Reno Police Department got a call from a computer rental store that had repossessed a computer Mr. Nellis had rented and found child pornography -- more than 1,000 images and 150 videos.

While looking for Mr. Rodreick, Lieutenant Gillock stumbled upon his new life. He learned he had been posing as a 12-year-old named Casey and befriending families at a local church. He had spent the night with at least one boy, the lieutenant said, and traveled to the Grand Canyon, with Mr. Nellis in tow as his uncle, with another boy. And since at least late 2004, he said, Mr. Rodreick had been receiving Western Union money transfers from Mr. Stiffler.

Mr. Stiffler is the only one of the four who has not been convicted of a sexual offense, according to officials in Yavapai County. He spent most of his life in New Jersey, some of it married to a woman named Jill, who died in 1984, and with whom he had a daughter, according to Karen Svecz, his wife's sister.

Mr. Snow, who law enforcement officials say has been convicted of a sexual offense in California, lived mostly there until about 1985, when he moved to Arizona.

When Mr. Rodreick arrived in Arizona, he is believed to have first enrolled at the Shelby School in Peyson, where administrators say he attended under the name of Casy Rodreick for 21 days in 2005.

The next stop was Surprise, where the same ''uncle'' played the role of enroller again, presenting Mr. Rodreick as a 12-year-old. His concocted name, Casey Price, was that of a child in Oklahoma, the authorities there said.

''He absolutely looked age-appropriate,'' said Rhonda Cagle, a spokeswoman for Imagine Charter School, of Mr. Rodreick, who is listed on the Oklahoma Department of Corrections Web site as 5 feet 8 inches tall and 120 pounds. ''We have several seventh-grade students who are taller and of a larger build than this individual.''

Ms. Cagle said he was quiet and participated in no after school activities, eventually being expelled by school officials for poor attendance.

''He took all of the subjects our students take -- math, social studies,'' she said. ''By all accounts from the teachers, he was fairly quiet and withdrawn. He turned in homework, certainly didn't come off as brilliant or as someone needing extra help.''

After another effort to enroll in a school in Prescott Valley, the police say, Mr. Rodreick headed a bit north, to the Mingus Springs Charter School in Chino Valley, and this time, his ''grandfather,'' Mr. Stiffler, took him to enroll on Jan. 16 toward the end of the day.

But administrators and staff members quickly grew suspicious, said Dawn Gonzales, the school director.

''The person posing as the child obviously looked older than 12,'' Ms. Gonzales said, although he was allowed to start class while they looked over his paperwork. Things were not right, there, either. Some records had Casey, others Casy. Different birth dates emerged.

The next day came, and so did Casey. ''He did have the demeanor of a kid,'' Ms. Gonzales said. ''He played that part very well. He appeared to be very shy. He kept his head down and spoke softly.''

It wasn't working. ''Every adult that encountered him said something here is not right,'' she said. ''He just looked older. They kept saying, 'Are you sure he is 12?' ''

When information on his enrollment forms turned out to be fiction, school officials, believing they had an abducted older child on their hands, called the Yavapai sheriff's office.

''In my wildest imagination I could not have dreamt up,'' what was discovered, Ms. Gonzales said.

The authorities said Mr. Stiffler and Mr. Snow were shocked, too, and angry about being duped by an adult posing as a minor.

Ms. Cagle said her school in Surprise learned about their ''Casey'' on the evening news. ''Needless to say, our staff is devastated,'' she said. ''This individual violated a sense of community that we all share. This is something that is bigger than our school. It affects the way we live and the way we look at each other.''

Here's the only other article I could find
What's interesting here is that the men that were acting as grandfather, uncle, and cousin believed they were having a relationship with a 12 year-old! The only hint of this in the other articles is the mention that they were "preying in part on one another."

The other interesting thing is that this is an AP story, yet it only showed up in a paper in Phoenix and then 2 weeks later in the New York Times.

HEADLINE: Police: Okla. man cons 2 Ariz. men into thinking he's 12

BYLINE: By BOB CHRISTIE, Associated Press Writer

DATELINE: PHOENIX

BODY:


A 29-year-old convicted sex offender from Oklahoma allegedly conned two Arizona men into believing he was a 12-year-old boy, moving into their home and having an ongoing sexual relationship with them, sheriff's officials in Yavapai County said Friday.

The ruse was discovered Wednesday after one of the men tried to enroll the fake 12 year old in a charter school in Chino Valley, about 90 miles northwest of Phoenix, using the name Casey Price.

School officials became suspicious and called deputies, telling them they thought the guardianship papers and birth certificate presented by a man who said he was the "12 year old's" grandfather appeared to be fake and that "Price" looked much older than 12, said Susan Quayle, a spokeswoman for the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.

"They were very upset when the detectives told them they had been having a sexual relationship with a 29-year-old man and not a pre-teen boy," Quayle said, referring to the two men.

Sheriff's detectives investigating the case learned that the "grandfather" was Lonnie Stiffler, 61, who lived in a home in Chino Valley with Robert James Snow, 43, a sex offender who had failed to register with authorities, and the "12-year-old."

Deputies served a search warrant at the home Thursday and found Stiffler, Snow, Brian J. Nellis, 34, and the phony pre-teen boy, who turned out to be Neil Havens Rodreick II, 29.

Oklahoma Department of Corrections online records show that Rodreick was convicted in Grady County in 1996 of lewd and indecent proposal to a minor and served time in prison from Nov. 19, 1996, to Jan. 30, 2002. The records show that Nellis was convicted in Kay County in 1997 of lewd molestation and was imprisoned from July 24, 1997, to July 28, 2000.

Online court records also show Nellis pleaded guilty in July 2005 to one count of failure to comply with the Oklahoma sex offenders registry act. He was sentenced to two years in prison, with all but the first two months suspended.

During interviews with the men, detectives learned that Stiffler and Snow met Rodreick through an Internet chat about two years ago, Quayle said, and they began to trade sexually explicit photos. He convinced them he was "Casey Price" and was only 12.

Stiffler and Show went to Oklahoma and met Rodreick at a hotel, then brought him back to live with them in Arizona and began an ongoing sexual relationship, Quayle said.

Rodreick apparently shaved his body hair and used makeup to keep up his guise as a pre-teen boy, Quayle said. He also dressed as a juvenile and tried to act and talk like a pre-teen.

"He looks young, I would not have guessed that he's almost 30," Quayle said, though she noted he certainly looked much older than 12.

When detectives unraveled the case and told Stiffler and Snow that "Price" was named Rodreick and was in fact 29, Quayle said they became dismayed and angry that they had been "conned."

Nellis was apparently Rodreick's cell mate in an Oklahoma prison and is also a registered sex offender, Quayle said.

Detectives have evidence that Stiffler and Snow enrolled Rodreick in other Arizona schools, possibly in Payson, El Mirage and Prescott Valley. They have notified law enforcement agencies in those jurisdictions to begin investigating, Quayle said.

"I think what we're looking at is that he's being used to troll for other kids," she said.

All four men made an initial appearance in Yavapai County Justice Court Thursday, with all but Stiffler being held on $50,000 bond on a charge of failing to register as sex offenders. Stiffler was booked on two counts of forgery and one count of hindering prosecution and ordered held on $100,000 cash bond.

All four men were assigned public defenders, but Yavapai County Public Defender Janet Lincoln said her office had not seen any reports by Friday afternoon or met with the men and would have no comment. The county attorney's office issued a statement saying that decisions on additional charges would be made by Monday afternoon. Quayle said deputies are looking into other possible charges, but are not asking for child molestation charges involving Rodreick.

"We can't charge them with child molest because he was not a child," Quayle said.

Quayle praised officials at the Mingus Springs Charter School where Rodreick tried to enroll Wednesday.

"This school, they really deserve congratulations," she said. "They jumped on it, they were not fooled and they called us right way.

"This is the weirdest case I've seen in 18 years," Quayle said. "Even the detectives said it was the weirdest. If it wasn't so sad it would be funny."

Another odd thing about this is if you do a google or yahoo news search the report only shows up in two papers (Denver Post and NYT) in the US but it's all over the UK.

Uh, I got a completely different result:

Web Results 1 - 10 of about 12,400 for yavapai county sheriff's office rodreick. (0.31 seconds)

You need to realize that not all newspapers have web sites that make it clear that they are a newspaper. With the consolidation of media, it is common for radio, TV and print media to be combined. The local paper here is connected with several of the TV stations.

This really started out as a local story and then ended up on the AP. Once there, everyone just cuts and pastes it into their print or web. That there are so many "copies" of the AP story but this is no different than any other AP story. I almost never actually read my local paper for national news because it is all AP or Reuters and I have already read it on the web.
