Robert James Snow (his MySpace) and Lonnie Stiffler must have thought they were in pedo heaven after meeting Neil Havens Rodreick II.Law enforcement believes that 29 year old Rodreick tricked the two older men into believing he was a pre-teen boy, and proceeded to live with the two older men for nearly two years- continuing with the "I'm just a young boy" scam. Snow and Stiffler might never have wised up to the truth, but in what police believe was an attempt to use Rodreick as bait to lure more young boys into their grasps, Stiffler pretended to be Rodreicks grandfather to enroll him in a school.
Officials at the charter school in Chino Valley, about 90 miles northwest of Phoenix, told deputies that papers the "grandfather" presented appeared to be fake and that "boy" looked much older than 12.
Police investigated the home where the men were living, arresting each of them and a forth man- Brian J. Nellis, 34 who was apparently Rodreick's cell mate in prison, both had been convicted of previous sex related crimes.
Stiffler was booked on counts of forgery and hindering prosecution and was being held on $100,000 bond. Each of the three others was being held on $50,000 bond on a charge of failing to register as a sex offender. Prosecutors said decisions on any additional charges would be made by Monday.
As if this story wasn't horrible enough, police believe that the men had attempted to enroll Rodreick in other area Arizona schools, and have forwarded the information along to the proper LE departments.
As an added kick- it was reported that upon finding out that they had been fool- Snow and Stiffler both appeared very upset over the fact that they had been having sex with a 29 year old, rather than a young 12 year old boy.
And, of course- wouldn't you know it... at least two of these pervs are sex offenders.
Oklahoma Department of Corrections online records show that Rodreick was convicted 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 1997 of lewd molestation and was imprisoned from July 24, 1997, to July 28, 2000.
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.
