Heather Leigh and Eric Shane Meisner are Randy’s twins, born seven years after Dana in May of 1970.

Per CBS News, Heather wrote in a conservatorship petition that she “controls who can speak to my father, and who cannot,” as well as leveling an accusation that Lana had a special password for staff at a residential center to know who to allow to talk to him.
