i would like to ask prayers for my hometown. we all are suffering right now. i prayed and prayed this was not real. it was fake rumors and its not fake rumors now. at least 50 percent is true and its horrible. ive always heard that saying that it could never happen to you or near your hometown but ive learned thats just not true. it can happen anywhere. i also can not get over the fact of my other times ive been down there and had strange events to happen. to think i and the other person who i went with could of became victims gives me nightmares. its just hard right now for everyone in my area.

RIP Cassidy. Sincere condolences to your loved ones. Good thoughts for the community.

Respectfully, disagree. One is a violent incident, the other is unspeakable.

We will have to agree to disagree. Two people dead in one and another with life changing injuries and one dead in the other.

Wow peace2021, My heart breaks for you and your community. This crime is so horrendous. The place by the River that you would go to for fun and relaxation has been forever tainted by these monsters. Your feelings are very valid and your fears are real. Please consider talking to someone about this - a councilor, therapist, minister, etc. - before it develops into a deep routed problem that effects your mental and physical health. If you don’t want to see a professional, even just getting together with a group of friends to discuss your shared feelings would help.

Little else was known in the weeks following that hearing until November 17th. On Wednesday, prosecutors charged Phelps and Norton with first-degree murder and abandonment of a corpse. Authorities say remains that matched Rainwater’s DNA were found in Phelps’ cabin. Deputies report they found other DNA
Timeline of Cassidy Rainwater's death and disappearance

Too bad there has been no further mention of "other DNA" - like if it was human, how many different, what they do with it, etc.

First time criminals are paranoid beyond logic. Textbook criminal psychology. Yeah they'll likely make stupid mistakes however these two were so comfortable that they kept text messages of the plan to kill her on their phones for months, after she's dead they "take a break" before they took her outside and did the disemboweling and dismemberment. OUTSIDE Not worried bout anyone or anything. Hell no this wasn't their first time.

10000000000 percent agree -
And l expect this net to be cast wide and deep.

Looking and taking to 12-14 year old girls on the internet and stalking them at Walmart - (according to the Prosecutor) - is the stuff of nightmares. Did they succeed? Maybe they didn’t and moved onto older but vulnerable women - Cassidy was 33.

IMO - whatever has been going on and for however long - this did not happen overnight. And perhaps and because it’s probably been a LONG time coming that town is going to be uprooted and is in the process of it now.

It’s the locals that know and are probably too afraid to speak up they are already talking on various other forums. It’s clearly a small community and everyone knows each other.

I don’t for a second believe the Arson was some good person trying to burn down the demon’s house in revenge - (metaphor) - l believe it was a sweep cleaning of any and all DNA.

I am trying to find out how long JP has been living at that address? I wonder about that and l will dig to get that answer.

He certainly had the perfect cabin off a dirt road to do whatever the heck he wanted. Perfectly situated between 2 major highways (know trafficking area) He clearly had the equipment he needed to do as he pleased.

I am certain the lawyers are using the death penalty as a means of negotiating with him to start TALKING. Clearly Norton is speaking. But l don’t believe Norton knows everything.

It’s heartbreaking to know what Cassidy’s last moments on earth were like. Did she know her fate? Did they drug her? Was she the only woman or person in the cabin or was there another woman?

Anyways these are my thoughts this morning.

My thoughts…the

I can’t even wrap my mind around this. I want to say something l can’t say on here.

It’s a good cover though on the outside he’s a preacher inside his cabin he’s a killer.

 

[MountainGal33]

Not even in the police statements regarding what Norton allegedly said in his confession is ANY reference to that cage and her being in it made! It does however say that Norton confessed to planning it out with Phelps and discussing how easy it would be with her asleep om the couch by the door. He said that after she was dead they took a break then moved her outside .... She wasnt put in a cage After that she was put into the bathtub. Soo when was she in a cage? Not likely shed be asleep on the couch after being kept in then released from a cage.

In every news article l have read see below - the tipster sent a photo to the FBI of Cassidy in a cage and partially nude at that address. In addition when the police went to JP’s address there were photos on his phone of same.


“”The Dallas County Sheriff's Office was contacted by an FBI agent in Kansas City regarding an anonymous tip claiming a photo existed showing Rainwater caged and in a semi-naked state.

After obtaining a search warrant for Phelps' cell phone, court records say police uncovered seven images showing Rainwater partially nude and imprisoned on his property.””

Case of missing woman allegedly held captive half-naked in cage takes fresh twist

Phelps looks to me like he's trying to evoke Terry Richardson

[MountainGal33]

Did the detailed confession come from only one of the suspects? That would make sense to me if one was accomplice to the mastermind…

JP is pleading not guilty (of course)!

Norton is the confessor.

l can’t imagine what you’re going through and l send some light - l can’t speak for everyone on here but l want justice for your town and a safe community for you to live in.

I am so sorry you are feeling distraught.

I’m wondering if Cassidy was camping out on her family’s property and they offered her a place to stay. When her cousin reported her missing, she told LE where Cassidy was last seen.

It's heartbreaking to think this poor woman had been in such dire straits, financially speaking. It sounds like she had no support system. It sounds like these are the kind of women the monster Phelps and his buddy preyed upon.

@evilwise. I don’t think Cassidy wanted this.

Sorry, did I miss something, this is about Timothy L. Norton

@evilwise. I don’t think Cassidy wanted this.

I personally am of the opinion that any and all suicidal ideation is irrational and indicative of mental illness - and the DSM-5 agrees with me.

However, despite millions of cases of people under the premise of "modeling" subjecting themselves to things that would otherwise be considered crimes and even multiple instances of people willingly being eaten e.g. Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes, there is nothing so far to indicate Cassidy was in any way complicit nor is there any indication so far that local law enforcement may be suppressing or destroying evidence for any reason, either to simplify Phelp's trial or to protect additional perpetrators.

Prayers for all of the good folks around Lebanon. I'm sorry this happened in your town and hopefully, you'll all come out of this stronger, with a better community.

Thank you for the warning. I've notified a mod to ask for a "Graphic Content" warning on the post. Great idea!

I know....I don't dispute that...but how did she came from A to B. Lets say she was in a cage before they murdered her....actually no doubt about that, I believe there were pictures of that...but then....according to what this guy told. She was sleeping on the floor, near the door of the cabin...so not in the cage???? murder already planned....they killed her....no need to tell all of it over again....

I suspect they kept her in a drugged state, so they could move her to wherever they wanted. It sounds like she was there with them for at least a couple of weeks before the brutal murder.

My point was to show that everything the sheriff claims is basically a lie. He said all the rumors were "crap", when they are actually coming from an LEO. Now he's saying there is no evidence of other victims, but thats not what LEO has said since the begining. Seems like he's trying to cover something up.
