That’s no typo.
The Missouri Leadership Committee is a PAC. They filed a 30 Day After General Election – Limited Activity Report on November 30, 2010. So far they haven’t filed any reports (including 48 hour reports) in 2011. The last comprehensive campaign finance report from them was an 8 Day Before General Election Report filed with the Missouri Ethics Commission on October 25, 2010:

Since no contributions were received for that report we’ll have to look further back, to the October Committee Quarterly Report filed on October 15, 2010.
Nope, no contributions listed there, either. Nor for the 30 Day After Primary Election report filed on September 1, 2010.
But, wait, there was a single big contribution reported in a 24 Hour report on July 26, 2010:

Well, that’s interesting. Giveth and receive.
That last one was just for fun.
Back to July 26, 2010 and that $100,000.00 in the Friends of Tilley 30 Day After Primary Election report filed on September 1, 2010 with the Missouri Ethics Commission:
Detailed Summary of Expenditures And Contributions Made
Committe: FRIENDS OF TILLEY
ReportDate: 9/2/2010

[emphasis added]
So, to recap, the Missouri House HRCC received $100,000.00 (for more outrageous robocalls?) from the Missouri Leadership Committee, a PAC, on January 14, 2011. Flush with cash, the Missouri Leadership Committee from January 2010 had only one contribution, $100,000.00 from the Friends of Tilley on July 26, 2010. On December 21, 2010 the Friends of Tilley received a $100,000.00 contribution from the Missouri Leadership Committee.
What, they just held the money for five months and gave it back?
I bet Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder (r) would like a piece of that action. Oh, wait…
