GUILTY MO - Cassidy Rainwater, 33, *GRAPHIC CONTENT* nude & caged in photos, Buffalo, 15 July 2021

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.

You can't keep somebody drugged into helplessness 24/7 for weeks without killing them unless you have medical equipment. You can get them so physically dependant on drugs that they won't go too far though.

From my very limited experience, it seems that local citizens (frequently referred to as 'rumors') are more knowledgeable and honest than [any other source]. (hope this fits)

I think I need to say something else...a lot of people have said bad stuff about how this case was handled. There are some real frustrating things in this case and critical questions asked, that can't be dismissed. LE was given pictures of her in a cage...The two men were arrested for kidnapping and it went silent....In between a bad call for the sheriff publishing a rant about people sitting behind their PC, eating chips, drinking box wine and spreading fake information....not very professional, but.... what they didn't tell the public was there were also pictures of a corps....HELLO...not trying to be miss know it all...but there were LE people who went to the place and saw/found unspeakable things....(if we are going to interview them over a couple of years...let me tell you...they will still be haunted by it) To get this guys convicted for murder they had to gather evidence...namely that this remains belonged to Cassidy and was actually the corps on the pictures.....and they did.....this monsters are now facing convictions for murder. Somehow I don't like the way LE is communicating (or as you like not communicating) with the concerned community, it's far from professional and they were not able to calm the rumors down.........lots to learn.....I would say.

Let's not forget that similar crimes have happened in the Lebanon area in the recent past. It's more than just a couple of sick creeps. Unfortunately, some in the community thought it was a victimless crime. Very sad. Maybe now some folks will realize sex trafficking is a crime and it's victims are groomed and controlled in many ways not easily recognized by others.

Lebanon Man Sentenced to 20 Years for Coercing a Minor to Become a Sex Slave

"On Jan. 15, 2013, Bagley pleaded guilty to enticing a minor into illegal sexual conduct and prostitution. Bagley met the female victim (identified in court documents as FV) in 2002, when she was 16 years old and dating his teenage son. FV visited his trailer residence in Lebanon on numerous occasions. During FV’s visits to Bagley’s residence, he showed her images and videos of pornography on the Internet and downloaded from the Internet, including images and videos of bondage and sadomasochistic conduct. Bagley admitted that he provided FV with controlled substances. He taught her about bondage and sadomasochistic activities. His wife, co-defendant Marilyn Bagley, 48, modeled stripper and bondage clothing for FV. The Bagleys told FV that she would love being a “slave” for him. Bagley began a sexual relationship with FV prior to her seventeenth birthday."
​

Bagley did the same thing - trafficked pictures of the teen girl in BDSM activities over the internet. People even paid money to visit their home for sexual activities with her.

She was lucky to survive her torture, but sadly, some local residents thought it was consensual. That's probably why no one noticed it was happening again in the community.

Sex Trafficking At The Lake: Local Group, Former Victim Shedding Light On Issue

Could saying the tips came over the dark web be a way for the FBI to protect the tipster?

Because it seems like many people in the local area knew what occurred. Could Phelps have emailed his pics to a few customers, who showed them to someone aghast by them?

These pics then get circulated, the rumors start on Tik Tok and someone finally mails them to the FBI.

This eliminates the need for the dark web and explains why the locals knew so much.

More simply, pictures were circulating, the wrong

person saw them and forwarded them to the FBI.​

It's possible......I would be devastated if this kind of pictures, beep, beep...would occur on my social media.....wow.....and I wouldn't stay still.....never still if somebody is making me vomit.

My thoughts ( possibly based on what I've been told) is JP was selling and trading pics on the dark web of some BDSM stuff and one of the "customers" wanted the level uped more and more, so JP gave him what he wanted, which was a little too much, so he fwd it to the FBI. As far as being in Germany, as said earlier, anyone can make their IP address apear as from Germany.

Using VPN I could show myself being from any country....trading pictures on the dark web is bad and very suspicious.....always. There is no maybe or possible....you have to really go into that....a choice......I you have nothing to hide..no need to go there....a lot of -how can I put it- porn, escorts, etc...it's all just on the Internet, not on the dark web.

"We expected these charges to be filed", said Norton's attorney, Branden Twibell. "Mr. Norton will be entering pleas of not guilty to these allegations. Additionally, our firm will continue to review and investigate any potential evidence we receive from the prosecutor's office."

WHO is paying for this lawyer? He's NOT your paid- by- the- county- court appointed lawyer.

Those articles are a good argument for making sex work legal and regulated. MOO.

100%. Given the arson, I wouldn't be surprised if wealthy sickos are paying for fear of being implicated. If not in this one case, other related ones. I wouldn't put it beyond these two to start extorting their client base for money.

Which begs the question? Shouldn't they have more money? The stuff they are selling is not cheap.

Interesting. He’s a criminal defense lawyer out of Springfield. Do we know anything about Norton’s family? Maybe there is money there.

Sorry, I missed this yesterday. How sad, tragic and predictable, given the past history of the criminal history of some folks, the perps and the location. I don't understand it.



It is saying at this time they have found no evidence of other victims but it does not say there are no other victims. I agree there have probably been others but the evidence is probably gone. And was gone before this crime even happened. At one time a crime happened in a house I was living in and the crime scene techs came in and had completed collecting all the evidence they needed in less than 12 hours so I would say they had all they needed before the arson happened. As it says in the article the investigation is continuing so we just need to be patient and everything will hopefully be known in the near future.

I don't know how to respond to this statement considering LE didn't appear to do any kind of a thorough search of the property after the arrests nor after someone set the unsecured crime scene on fire shortly afterwards.

Norton and phelps are brothers. They have alot of family in the area. So many was out on social media defending jp and tn. I said it from the beginning one of them was super strange. Making a post about missing photos oh return them now give the family the only thing they have left. Then a few days after the house burns down. It shows something was planned. Since then that post was deleted but I saved the screenshots. I sent so many of my screenshots that I've researched on what was rumors back in October and Sept. and now are mostly true events now. Thank you all for your loving kindness toward the other posts I made. My head is a little better today after finally getting some sleep last night. Im trying my best to take a break from all of this but I want to try and help you guys with what I found out. Some of what I found out was from you guys on this website and around social medias. I have a question would I be allowed to post screenshots from social media with names on them. The one about photos being taken i would like to share it with you all if its allowed. That same person who posted about photos made legal threats that slander and blah blah but at this point its not that no more.

What makes you think Phelps and Norton were brothers?

I think it's just as simple as she was kept in a cage at some point. Photos where taken of her in said cage during her time there - so we know there was one. (And a cage can be anything - you can order an extra large dog cage and a person can fit into one), so I don't believe the metal cage seen in the photos outside on the property is the cage used - MOO.

As far as the night or day they killed her and how she got to the floor by the door (and how we got from A to B).

Perhaps having her sleep on the couch was a way to make it easier for them to kill her and that's why Norton included that detail. Maybe he is lying and she was trying to escape and they caught her at the door and so Norton is just embellishing.

A lot of detail we don't know yet...
