The Curious Case of Randy Stair
Episode 7 of 8

A series About Randy Stair's Decent into Darkness

Randy Robert Stair a YouTuber and animator , who called himself Andrew Blaze, worked at Weis Markets for seven years prior to the shootings. He had kept detailed videos, recordings, and journals leading up to the shooting, most of which he uploaded to online forums and social media profiles just prior. In these writings and videos, he expressed his willingness to commit suicide, addressed the personal tragedies and other misfortunes he experienced which led him to a state of depression, described questioning his gender identity, provided detailed explanations of his plans for carrying out the shooting, and explained his belief that these murders would allow him to cross over to an animated world he had imagined. Stair also had a fascination with multiple mass shootings, specifically school shootings particularly the Columbine High School massacre and its perpetrators.Randy Stair, 24, arrived for his late-night shift at Weis Markets in Eaton Township, Pennsylvania (just south of Tunkhannock), on the evening of June 7, 2017, during closing time at approximately 11:00 p.m. Stair went to the back of the store to the crew area and blocked an emergency exit at the far back of the store. He then continued with his duties, stocking shelves and cleaning up from the previous day. At 12:10 a.m., he sent out links to multiple files and videos which detailed his plans via his Twitter account.
Stair then went back to the crew area in the rear of the store, blocked the remaining exits, then locked the automatic doors at the main entrance to the store. He then pulled out two pistol grip pump-action shotguns and walked around the store and killed three employees. He then approached another coworker, , who had not heard the shooting due to her listening to music with headphones on while she was labeling items and stocking shelves near the rear of the store.
After this, Stair proceeded to fire at a glass and other merchandise in the store and shot multiple small portable propane tanks, which failed to explode. Around this time, Newell took off her headphones; hearing the gunshots, she hid in the crew room and called 9-1-1. After a short time, Stair concluded his shooting of the store's contents. Stair then went to the deli section of the store, placed the shotgun in his mouth and ended himself.

The Curious Case Series Documentary follows Randy Stair into his decent into darkness heavily edited by me using the footage he left behind. This is a pretty dark series and is not meant to glorify his actions, but to let the suspect tell their story.
