Christopher Luke Pratt, Suspect- Disappearance & Murder- Mary Denise Lands

Christopher Luke Pratt was arrested on June 24, 2007 and remained in the Calhoun County Jail until his convictions by a jury in Circuit Court in December 2007. In January he was sentenced to 5-15 years in prison.

He was found guilty of Domestic Violence, Unlawful Imprisonment, Interfering w/Electronic Communciations Causing Injury/Death, & Assault with Dangerous Weapon (Felonious Assault).

These charges are unrelated to Mary's case and involved his most recent girl-friend. He was incarcerated by MDOC, at Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility in Ionia but transferred to Mound Correctional Facility in Detroit in early December 2008. He will not even be eligible for parole until February 24, 2012.


He is considered a "person-of-interest" in the open homicide investigation of Mary Denise Lands. Mary disappeared from Marshall, Michigan on March 12, 2004. Her body has not yet been recovered.

March 12, 2009- 9:00 A.M.- Well this is not a good sign and obviously came on a sad day for the family, the 5th anniversary of Mary's disappearance. Chris Pratt was just moved from Level II at Mound Correctional Facility in Detroit to Cooper Street Correctional Facility in Jackson. He was reduced to the minimum standard of MDOC and reclassified as Level I. Next we will hear that because of prisons closing and staff reductions he will soon be released. Because his convictions were related to domestic violence he should not be eligible for parole until February 2012. You have to wonder if that criteria enacted by the Michigan legislature will be thrown out and he is looking at a release in the very near future? Norreen Parker, his most recent victim, better be concerned about these new developments.
March 12, 2009- 5:00 P.M.- Thank you to all the good people who today called MDOC, the police and the media about Christopher Luke Pratt being transferred to Cooper Street CF in Jackson and a reduction of his Level II to Level I. It just shows the power of our community. Inmate Pratt will be shuffling off to another prison and his Level II status will be put back in place. Maybe if we are lucky it will be the UP for the rest of the winter.Thank you again to WOOD-TV8 and the viewers for all the calls. It really gave some relief to Mary's parents to know we all will be safer. Kudos to our community to keep this alleged killer in a more secure location. In my opinion, I believe he killed Mary Lands and so does the law enforcement community. Chris Pratt needs to remain in prison for the rest of his life unless he makes a deal and tells the truth. It better be soon because some other perp is going to drop a dime on him first.
Update- March 13, 2009- 7:45 A.M- Within 24 hours of MDOC learning that Christopher Luke Pratt is an inmate who is a suspect in an open homicide investigation his classification was changed back to a Level II. Cooper Street Correctional Facility in Jackson is a Level I facility so we presume he will be transferred to a Level II correctional facility.
There is a saying that the wheels of justice turn slow, but grind exceedingly fine.
Chris Pratt, you can try to use your sociopathic charm on prison officials, family and friends to believe that all this is going to go away and you will soon be free. In your deluded thinking you feel no remorse or empathy, but that is just another symptom of your mental defects.
People know what you did to Mary Lands and one day you will allocute in a court of law and be held accountable for Marys disappearance and death.
You have seen our billboards and efforts to find Mary. Your earliest possible parole date is February 24, 2012. Let me assure you that we presently have at least 220 individuals who will be writing the Parole Board to ask that you not be released until your scheduled discharge date in 2022. By the time of your review in 2011 we will have at least 1,000 letters sent to Lansing opposing any release.
We are not going away, and we will bring Mary home.

03/16/09- As previously mentioned, there is a saying that the wheels of justice turn slow, but grind exceedingly fine. This morning, Christopher Luke Pratt, 673261 is now back at his old digs in Level II, Mound Correctional Facility in Detroit after a brief transfer to Cooper Street CF in Jackson that MDOC acknowledges was an error. His minimal status to Level I has also been changed back to Level II.

Law enforcement authorities will hold a press conference at the Marshall, Michigan Town Hall on Wednesday, February 18th at 1:00 P.M. The Mary Lands family will be present along with friends and supporters. You are all urged to attend.

The event is expected to include comments by Susan Mladenoff, the newly elected Calhoun County Prosecutor, Acting Chief Sgt. Scott McDonald, and the Michigan State Police.

Together we are all working to bring Mary home.

You do great work Jim. It takes a diligent person to plug away at these things. Thanks for being a person that is contributing instead of contaminating society :)

Great music! Search You Tube-

Bringing Mary Home-

This song and others are inspirations for many especially her family.

The 5th anniversary of her disappearance is March 12, 2009.

Were going to pass this song along & maybe, ......just maybe, this song will touch the heart of one witness, who will call the Michigan State Police and answer our question, Where is Mary?

Thank you for your kind words. They are appreciated by Cliff & Anita.

Thank you xoaLynnM.

There is nothing personal in these videos. We just hope someone will step up and tell what they know or have someone else do it. I believe most of the Pratt family are good people just trying to get by like all of us. If this and other videos help people think and strive to be better citizens it was all worth it. Whether you are black or white, rich or poor, lead a perfect or imperfect life, all of us can contribute to our world & be better.

Pratts

Dante Alighieris "Inferno" has a vision of Hell based on Thomas Aquinas's interpretation of Aristotle's principle of retribution known as the concept of contrapasso, in which the soul's suffering in Hell extends or reflects the sin that predominated it. An example; murderers are boiled in blood. This vision of Hell is grounded as well in medieval belief of divine justice. We may never see justice for Mary on earth, however all will see justice in Hell for those involved in Mary's murder

1) Chris burned his brother Jeff and he was sent to live with his grandmother.

2) He did not have a PERFECT life.

3) His ex-wife is not Bipolar, he is.

4) He made most of his income selling drugs.

It disgusts me that he lies and makes up things. He has put his family through hell and continues to do so. I challenge anyone to say what I just said is wrong. Later, Sam

okayyy wow this is so fucked up u are the " crepper" he didnt do shit and everybody nows it sooo fucking stop putting shit on here that is the complete oppisite of the truth...... all of this is wrong I LOVE CHRIS PRATTT AND ALWAYS WILL

[FriendofSam1]

Yep, the lady with blindfold is coming for the Creeper. New he is Level 4 at St. Louis? What's up with that? What will our family say when he loses appeal tomorrow? Try telling our relative to confess.

[VeronaJoe112]

Brian-40 year old pal of Jeff Pratt, deacon/ teacher at Marshall public schools must have *found the light* Either that or wife shut his light out.

He closed account COOLASSDAD68.

I don't agree with Mary Lands PI every time but you need to check facts. He was never arrested for breaking into Pratt house.

That story is on Mary web site for you to read. Marshall cop in that piece of work went from sgt to road patrol. Clean up your mouth when you return with new name-minus rap profile

[FriendofSam1]

Enquirer had story that incoming prosecutor Mladenoff appointed Albion attorney Eusebio Solis, of Albion as chief assistant. Dan Buscher who convicted Chris Pratt will also stay on in the prosecutors office.

This new team and Attorney General will get the job done and give the family closure. These are real cops not misfits of Marshall.

If Pratt or anyone has information on the murder of Mary Lands you ought to be calling prosecutor-(269)-969-6980. Call them before they knock on your door
