Woman missing for months as cannibalism rumors swirl; image of partially nude caged woman found​

As bizarre rumors of cannibalistic behavior and multiple murder victims flooded social media Saturday, authorities had confirmed little about a missing woman and two suspects now under arrest in South Central Missouri.

Federal authorities ramped up their search for 33-year-old Cassidy Rainwater. Investigators said two men held Rainwater in a cage on Moon Valley Road near Lebanon.

Federal investigators said no one has seen Cassidy Rainwater since July.

Someone reported her missing on Aug. 25.

Two weeks ago, FBI investigators from Kansas City got an anonymous tip that someone was holding Rainwater in a cage on some property near Lebanon. Authorities arrested Timothy Norton and James Phelps.

Prosecutors charged the two men with felony kidnapping. Court documents said investigators found photos on Phelps’ cellphone showing a woman partially nude and in a cage.

Investigators said Norton admitted he helped Phelps to restrain Rainwater.

Beyond the photos, investigators had not disclosed what they found on the Phelps property. Hostetler briefly spoke with Phelps just one time during the past year as his neighbor and heard the rumors of cannibalism.


Cassidy Rainwater is still missing. Anyone who knows where she is should contact their local law enforcement agency.

BUFFALO, Mo. (AP) — A second man has been sentenced to life in prison for the death of a woman who was kept in a cage and dismembered in southwest Missouri in 2021.

Timothy Norton was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty in Dallas County court to first-degree murder in the death of 33-year-old Cassie Rainwater. As part of his plea agreement, charges of kidnapping and abandonment of a corpse were dropped.

Another man, James Phelps, entered an Alford plea earlier this year in the same case and was also sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.

 

[Guess Who]

At least they saved the families from having to hear the horrors she went through.

I also am sure her case is far from the horrors these guys have caused though. I'm sure there is far more to this story.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Yeah, I too believe there are more horrors and more victims most likely. Will we ever know that I wonder or hear it though...

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The killing of Cassidy Rainwater has not been forgotten by Ozarks First anchor Bailey Strohl, who has reported on the case from the beginning.
She has written and produced a four-part documentary series, “Murder on Moon Valley Road: The Killing of Cassidy Rainwater.” The first episode premieres Thursday, March 12.
Ozarks First has spent years working to piece together what happened inside a cabin along Moon Valley Road in rural Dallas County. But with the accused never standing trial, key questions — including the motive — were left largely unanswered.
Now, after an extensive records request, Strohl has obtained the complete history of the investigation: thousands of pages of reports, hundreds of crime scene photos, body camera footage and hours of law enforcement interviews that culminated in a confession.
The documentary will stream exclusively on the free Ozarks First+ TV streaming app. (Click here for a guide on how to download the free streaming app on your TV.)
