Summary

A Kansas man sentenced to four years for abandoning a corpse—his guilty plea led investigators to the body of 13-year-old Airen Andula, found in a Missouri ravine after he vanished from his home. Leonard admitted to moving the boy’s body and leaving it in a creek, then returning home; his own call tipped off authorities. While the plea brings some measure of justice, the family says the pain of losing their son remains unbearable. He gets credit for 158 days already served.
