msm keeps referring to her husband as "brent" is that his last name or is his name brent cotta?
 
So he was out handing out MISSING flyers when he was arrested. So I guess we can stop using that as a clue to a husband's purported innocence---'whether he is 'helping' or not.'
 
previously he has been arrested with 3rd degree assault and before that 2nd degree assault, alcohol playing a part both times, and both involving Cassie
 
He has children...those poor kids, so many lives affected by jealousy and stupidity

It just makes me sick
 
It sounds like she was on FB with someone named Brandon on the night she was last seen and then she, or someone pretending to be her, told him to **ck off...and that is the last post from her.

Good point. And then "coincidentally" and "conveniently" her phone battery is about to die.
 
I'm not sure why but Cassie's disappearance got to me...maybe just seeing the outpouring of love and concern on her FB page. Maybe it was the messages from her younger sister.

I'm so sad that Cassie is gone ~ I feel relief that her family has her back quickly and that her killer has been arrested. I just wish that there was a more positive outcome for Cassie.

RIP
 
My brother knew both Cassie and her husband, Brent. In fact, he told me he talked to Brent last night and offered support. I know how hard this is because I had a friend murdered 17 years ago. I feel for her family and friends because it's got to have a different effect on someone to know your friend was murdered by your other friend, her husband.
 
This young woman had literally hundreds of friends and so many who were looking for her and missing her...it did touch me too...I think she had more outpourings of support than nearly anyone I've seen here, and there has been many. I read back on her FB page and the woman who I believe to be her mother broke my heart, in the days before she went missing, she would write messages of love to Cassie every single day. Cassie must have been very special.

Once again, a worthy young woman gets entangled with an unworthy, violent man and is possibly killed by him. Why does murder and violence seem to be the response in so many of these cases in recent years? I had bad relationships in my twenties and dumped numerous less-than-honorable men, but no one ever harmed me physically or even threatened to; mostly they cried like babies or haunted (stalked) me on the phone for a while. Eventually they went away...why has it changed so much? Why are they so much more violent? They drank and did drugs back then too. I dated some pretty sorry characters, sad to say, and if I was in my twenties now, I hate to think how I might have ended up, if this is the way these men "handle" rejection these days. I'd probably have ended up a case on this forum instead of a member.

I think that Cassie was deceased by the time those 12/30 postings and the reportedly bizarre text were sent from her cell.
 
I've been thinking the same, Clu. The only thing I can see that is changing is views on religion. I think a lot of people nowadays do not believe in a God figure and do not believe in an afterlife, therefor they do not care about their actions here on Earth. Another thing is people have a disregard for Laws. I think we have to change the penalties for a lot of crimes committed now. Just a couple of things to think about.

It struck me too the immense out pouring of love and support by so many. It wasn't by indirect friends, it was by so many that had direct contact with her
on a seemingly daily basis.

My DH has always referred to me as "shiny" but I truly believe she indeed was "shiny" with a smile, personality and aurora that touched so many. She must have been a very special person and I'm sure she will never be forgotten.

bbm, I asked myself the same question today

By all means I toed the line when I was younger and I often wonder the circumstances I put myself in when I read these cases. Is it so different now or has the internet put so much exposure on these cases and givin a "how to dispose of your wife or spouse formula" out there?
