Any Lebanon/Windyville locals here?

Love to know what's going on "on the street" up there --
Any signs of digging/searching on the ex-cabin property?
Any word on who the 'other DNA' belongs to?
Any other activity that is different or new to the area (have nothing specific in mind here - intentionally open-ended)?

TIA

Prosecutors: Child porn found at home of Dallas County murder suspect

Of course. No surprise for me.

There is more in the article than I quoted/they are also protecting photos of Cassidy.

"Timothy Norton, 56, who is charged along with 58-year-old James Phelps in Rainwater's death, allegedly had a file at his home containing child pornography that prosecutors describe as "violent in nature."

"The information was revealed as a part of a motion granted during a hearing Tuesday afternoon in Dallas County to place a protective order over the evidence."

Sickening. These guys were into everything. No limits. Sick. I hope LE is learning a lot from this investigation. I hope its allowing them to take down a lot of these creeps.

I'm glad they're issuing a protective order on the photos of Cassie. It will protect the integrity of their case and spare her family.

In my opinion: that is why someone burned that cabin down.

A reddit user also found this creepy BDSM profile for James Phelps.

Holy cow. The most horrifying part of that profile is the "similar profiles!"

This case has to be so much deeper than we know. I hope all the victims of these monsters find some justice.

Phelps' court date got moved to March 18th now.

I guess the fact that Phelps has a new court appointed Capitol Division lawyer gives us some insight into what the DA has in mind. Or what’s on the table.

I have not read yet if JP has entered a plea. TN has entered not guilty.

As for these delays could be anything - covid/more evidence/schedules/needing more time etc

Unless a lawyer on here can give more insight?

The FB post says he's connected to the Rainwater case.

 

[Betty P]

Well, its a good thing they're rounding up all the scumbags. I hope they get all of them.

He seems awfully old to have fathered a child with poor Cassidy. He was 23 years older than her.

That poor girl was probably abused from an early age. Mother died, no one to protect her.

They all look the same - him, TN and JP, same creepy vibe too.

Thanks for update.

Sadly this is not shocking.

Lebanon men charged with rape and sodomy; authorities say as many as 10 child victims could be involved

I really don’t know what in gods name is happening in this area of the country -

This was about 6 months ago and l missed it.

Clearly this area is a hotbed- l don’t know why but it is. Maybe l am just naive.

Cassidy was obviously down on her luck when she met JP (moo) it seems though she was in the absolute worse place on earth to be vulnerable or in need.

There has got to be a network of some kind in Lebanon of seasoned pros.

It's horrible. Laclede and Dallas counties are probably not the only places that have a problem. The state and feds need to form some kind of task force to deal with these problems.
