A person named Bryan Kohberger was working replaced as a school security officer at Pleasant Valley School District in August 2021. (source)

This school district is in the same county where Bryan Kohlberger is being held. According to arrest paperwork filed by the Pennsylvania State Police in Monroe County Court, Kohberger, 28, was being held for extradition in a criminal homicide investigation in the killings of four University of Idaho students, based on an active arrest warrant for first degree murder issued by the Moscow Police Department and Latah County Prosecutor’s Office.

In 2018, Kohberger assisted a fellow Pleasant Valley security guard in a harrowing incident involving a co-worker that required medical attention. Kohberger fetched the school’s AED while the other security guard performed CPR. (source)

MaryAnn Kohlberger also worked at the Pleasant Valley School while Bryan Kohlberger was employed there. Earlier this year, writing by MaryAnn was published in the Pocono Record regarding the devastating Uvalde school shooting. Accompanying this note is a poem by Mel Kohberger, MaryAnn’s daughter and a therapist in New Jersey. (source)

Dr. Greg Mutsch

Former Pastor at Bible Baptist Church

Dr. Greg Mutsch was previously the executive director of business administration for Accelerated Christian Education, the powerhouse that has created a Christian curriculum for schools around the world.

Bible Baptist Church

Based in Hendersonville, TN, Bible Baptist Church was lead by Dr. Greg Mutsch from 2015 to 2022. He left in August for a new position at Pensacola Christian College, and it seems that Bible Baptist Church has not found a new Pastor at this time. ¹

“Bringing Up Bates” couple Bobby and Tori (Bates) Smith previously worked at Bible Baptist Church with Bobby serving as the Student Ministries Pastor. ²

Pensacola Christian College

Dr. Greg Mutsch has recently joined Pensacola Christian College as Vice President for Institutional Advancement. According to an article by Sharper Iron, Mutsch was previously involved with the college and was thought to be in line for the presidency. ²https://sharperiron.org/article/top-10-fundamentalist-stories-of-2006

According to a 2019 Facebook post by Pensacola Christian College, Dr. Mutsch was an administrator at PCC from 1990 to 2002.

Early Life

Dr. Greg Mutsch graduated from Pillsbury Baptist Bible College. Greg and Luann married on June 4th, 1977. ³ The couple traveled for a time performing as the “King’s Four” touring across much of the eastern half of the country along with Leanne Hollowell and Todd Scovill. ⁴

Pillsbury Baptist Bible College was an Independent fundamentalist Baptist college in Minnesota that closed in 2008. After his graduation, Mutsch worked at Pillsbury Baptist and received his Doctorate in Education Administration at Bob Jones University. He also served as senior pastor of Beth Eden Baptist Church in Denver, Colorado. ⁵

Hyles-Anderson and Jack Hyles

In unconfirmed rumors around the internet, it seems that Jack Hyles, founder of Hyles-Anderson College did not like Pensacola Christian College and particularly had a feud with Peter Ruckman and Greg Mutsch.

Jack Schaap, Jack Hyles’s son-in-law, reportedly tried to make peace with PCC and offered Mutsch a position at Hyles-Anderson College, but Mutsch turned him down.

Schaap would later be sentenced to 12 years in prison for raping an underage girl that he was counseling and transporting him across state lines to do so. He was released in May 2022.

Brotherhood Insurance

Protecting Christian Ministries

Brotherhood Mutual provides innovative insurance coverage and risk management resources specifically designed for ministries.

Brotherhood Mutual insures churches and other ministries. It is an incredibly large organization with a huge list of C-level executives and directors.

They provide a massive library of resources for a variety of industries including schools, churches, camps, and more. In their child abuse prevention section, there are articles on child transportation, screening guidelines, preventing child sexual abuse, and even a document on how organizations should respond if a sex offender participates in their ministry.

It has been alleged by previous students at Agape Boarding School that Brotherhood Mutual currently insures Agape Boarding School.

On a fun note, Brotherhood Mutual also offers kidnapping and ransom coverage for missionaries. I understand that this is a very real concern for those serving abroad, just not something I had thought about.

Grace Boys Ranch

Located in Pacific, MO, Grace Boys Ranch is a residential school program that has been operating since 1995. They originally started in Colorado, but in 2000 they moved to the Saint Louis metro area and have been located in numerous homes in the area.

I have been unable to find an active registered business for this school. There is an expired Nonprofit, an expired fictitious name, and two expired Nonprofits under the name Grace Ranch Ministries.

They advertise themselves as a residential school that helps boys 6 to 16 years old with behavior problems, including ADD, ODD, RAD, and ADHD.

Grace Boys Ranch was founded by Father Richard Rix, after operating a counseling center in Wheatridge, Colorado. They operated “shepherding houses” in the Denver area before buying a ranch property in Wiggins, Colorado.

In 2003, they were located in Florissant, but had plans to open a new ranch facility in the Springfield, MO area.

The school is currently located at 10421 Apke Lane, Catawissa, MO.

In 2018, a home at this location burned down. Two adults and 8 boys were inside the home when the fire broke out, but none were hurt.

It now appears that this location may have been sold.

The Ranch

Mormon Fundamentalists in Missouri

Located between Stockton and Humansville, up to 500 Mormon Fundamentalists live at “The Ranch”

You might be wondering how we got here.

Well, let’s start with David Bolthouse. He owns a company that lists its principle address as 516 Owens Mill Rd, Stockton, MO.

This property is split in half. Half is owned by Scott Smith, former staff at Agape Boarding School. The other half is owned by Seven Peaks LLC, which lists its registered agent as Issiah Andra.

I went down a Facebook rabbit hole with Issiah Andra, who lives in Humansville, MO and kept seeing a name, Zitting, that seemed familiar.

I’d seen Zitting around the Stockton area as well, but this was more familiar. Finally, it clicked, Zitting is the last name of a youtuber I watch whose channel is called Growing Up in Polygamy. Then, more names start to make sense. LeBaron. Jessop.

Why were there so many Mormon names in Southwest Missouri? It took me a while, but I finally just googled it.

They have a ranch. THEY HAVE A POLYGAMIST RANCH.

The Ranch was started by Stephen Laub in 1983, directed by a divine voice to leave southwest Utah. Laub was formerly a part of the Apostolic United Brethren, or AUB group.

Back to Seven Peaks and Issiah Andra. Issiah and his family live on property owned by this mysterious church, Church of Christ of The Kingdom of God.

Is that a reach? Maybe. But it’s enough to keep me interested. Is there a connection between the Bolthouse companies (Exceed, Envoy, Best Choice, etc) and this polygamist group? Or is the connection between Agape and the group? Or is there no connection at all and I’m seeing things.

Seven Peaks also owns four single family homes in Greene County, and another home in Polk County.

All these rentals lead me to believe that perhaps I am jumping to conclusions about a connection between Smith and Andra.

Troubled boys really find the help they need at Victory Boys Academy. We see changed lives, and new hearts, open to God’s purpose and plan when we interact with them in our community!

To see boys’ lives changed for the better is the heart of Victory Boys Academy and the reason we refer young boys there regularly. The program is excellent.

Eric Schmitt: MO Candidate for U.S. Senate

A fighter

But for who? A history of Eric Schmitt.

Eric Scmitt for Senate

Missouri Attorney General

Eric Schmitt’s Twitter

Eric Schmitt

Eric Schmitt is Missouri’s 43rd Attorney General and currently a candidate for U.S. Sentate.

Eric Schmitt was born in Bridgeton, Missouri on June 20th, 1975. Eric and his wife, Jaime, have three kids. He attended DeSmet Jesuit High School and attended undergrad at Truman State University, then called Northeast Missouri State University. After graduation, he attended law school at Saint Louis University. Eric spend over 16 years in private legal practice.

2022 U.S. Sentate Campaign

In March of 2021, Eric Schmitt announced his candidacy for the United States Senate. His candidacy was backed by Rex Sinquefield.

Schmitt won the Republican primary on August 2, 2022 with 45.6% of the vote.

Eric Schmitt’s primary competition in this election is Trudy Busch Valentine, who Schmitt calls “the heiress.” He has tweeted that Busch Valentine was “plucked from her mansion by greedy consultants in an attempt to buy this seat.”

Growing up on Grant’s Farm, it’s hard to say that Busch Valentine hasn’t had a privileged life.

Eric Schmitt and Agape Boarding School

In March of 2021, Governor Mike Parson directed the attorney general’s office to assist Cedar County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Gaither in investigating abuse allegations at Agape Boarding School in Stockton, Missouri. Former students made claims of being restrained, beaten, sexually abused, and used for manual labor duing their time at the school.

The attorney general’s office recommended 65 criminal counts against 22 codefendents at the conclusion of its investigation. Those charges involved 36 victims, ranging from felonies for abuse of a child, felonies for tampering with a victim, and misdemeanor charges for endangering the welfare of a child and failure to report child abuse.

Gaither proceeded to charge only five staffers. In response, Eric Schmitt formally requested that the governor remove his office from the case. He stated that Gaither’s decision “indicated that he does not intend to seek justice for all of the thirty-six children who were allegedly victimized.”

Currently, the attorney general’s office has filed an injunction to have Agape shut down. The next hearing is taking place on October 11th at the Cedar County Court House.
