Cassidy Rainwater, the missing Missouri woman who was allegedly kidnapped 
in the Ozarks and kept in a cage, has ties to the Kansas City area. She is 
listed as a freshman in the 2003 yearbook from Harrisonville High School 
in Cass County, though she is not pictured. And a Facebook page created in 
November 2015 under the name Cassidy Rainwater says she was living in 
Boulder, Colorado, and was “from Harrisonville, Missouri.” Rainwater, 33, 
was officially reported missing to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office in 
late August. In mid-September, the FBI’s Kansas City office received an 
anonymous tip from a person who shared photos, including one of what 
appeared to be Rainwater’s partially nude body inside a cage. The tip 
prompted an investigation that led to charges filed against James Phelps, 
58, who lives in a rural area near Windyville, and Timothy Norton, 56. 
Both are accused of kidnapping Rainwater and facilitating a felony, 
inflicting injury and terrorizing. The case is drawing national attention, 
with more speculation than facts about what happened to Rainwater. Adding 
to the intrigue is that Rainwater’s mother, Tracy Wahwassuck, disappeared 
when Cassidy was 18. Wahwassuck — whose maiden name was Rainwater, 
according to online records — was reported missing in April 2007 in 
Laclede County. She was 43 and was last seen in Lebanon, east of 
Windyville. Her then-boyfriend Leonard Couch told authorities that she had 
possibly gone searching for arrowheads and never returned. Media reports 
from May 2008 say a farmer spreading fertilizer found a shoe and human 
remains, including teeth, scattered in his field. Then-Laclede County 
Sheriff Richard Wrinkle said at the time that anthropologists never found 
any signs of trauma on the bones, which were later identified as 
Wahwassuck’s. No charges were ever filed in the case. Couch died in 
February.

During the investigation into Rainwater’s disappearance, a sheriff’s 
sergeant learned that Phelps was the last person to have contact with her, 
court records show. Phelps told the sergeant that Rainwater had been 
staying with him “until she could get back on her feet,” and that she had 
been talking about going to Colorado. Phelps also told the investigator 
that about a month earlier, Rainwater had left in the middle of the night 
and met a vehicle at the end of the driveway, and he had not seen or heard 
from her since. Rainwater is still officially reported as missing, and 
authorities have released scant information about the case. And that has 
only fueled the speculation and sensational details about what may have 
happened at Phelps’ home on 386 Moon Valley Road. After the FBI shared the 
anonymous tip with Dallas County authorities, the sergeant returned to 
Phelps’ property, arrested him and seized his cellphone. Court records 
said it contained seven photos of Rainwater “in a partially nude state 
being held in a cage within the Phelps residence at 386 Moon Valley Road 
in Lebanon Missouri, within Dallas County.” Officers then identified 
Timothy Norton as a person connected with the case. In an interview on 
Sept. 19, court records say, he told them that he was an over-the-road 
trucker and that he lived in his truck all the time. In a followup 
interview the next day, Norton confessed that he knew that Rainwater was 
being held at Phelps’ home, according to an affidavit.

Norton also said that on July 24, Phelps had contacted him to come to 
Phelps’ home, and when he got there, he physically restrained Rainwater 
“by holding her down for a substantial period of time,” the document said. 
The mystery deepened on Monday night, when Phelps’ home burned to the 
ground. Fire crews discovered what appeared to be a makeshift tripwire and 
called in the Springfield Fire Department’s Bomb Squad, which early 
Tuesday morning detonated an incendiary device.
