John Bell wrote a sympathy message

“I remember working with Rand when I first started my career in criminal justice. Rand was by far the best missing person officer in the state of Delaware. He had such a good heart and truly wanted to help every family he encountered. He never gave up and would not rest until they were found the missing person. Rest in peace Rand your work is done here. The world is a better place because of you. Fondly, John and Peggy Bell”
