foreign hey you and welcome my name is Mike and in this whole video we are looking at some terrifying events that occurred in Missouri and it all began with like an anonymous tip which in itself remains a mystery the police had been sent images of a woman who had gone missing and this then LED them to a disturbing pair of monsters who were well up to some uh horrific stuff out in the woods now let's give it a go [Music] our story today takes us to Dallas not that the Dallas County Missouri it's located in
the heart of the state and it's relatively sparsely populated you know small towns lots of dense forests and farmland a place where if you didn't want to be found or if you didn't want anybody to know what you were doing you would be the mystery and creepiness and there's not really any other way to say it it All Began on September 16 2021 that's when the FBI received an anonymous tip which they then forwarded on to the Dallas County Sheriff's Office the tip sent in was photos the sender claimed to have found on the dark
web the extremely well I mean horrific images they seem to show a young woman being held in a cage she was in great distress she was being tortured and then it showed her murder and the anonymous tipster they were also claiming that the woman in these photos was a missing 33 year old mother from Hamilton Missouri a town about three hours north of Dallas County and her name was Cassidy rainwater Cassidy hadn't been seen for some time having last been seen in July unofficially being reported missing by a family member in late August 2021. Cassidy
went to high school in Harrisonville having her first child when she was 17 years old he didn't live with either Cassidy nor his father though he was adopted by other family members Cassidy was struggling and homeless it's believed at the time of her disappearance times were pretty tough for the young woman but she was working on getting her life together as soon as the details for you from this tip came in the Dallas County Sheriff's Office they knew kind of off the bat do they need to go and you know have a chat with in
fact they were so confident as soon as they came in they applied for a search warrant which they executed the very next day on the 17th of September the address on the warrant was a property on Moon Valley Road the occupier was a 58 year old man named James Phelps see deputies from the Dallas County Sheriff's Office they had already spoken uh with James they'd already spoken with James about Cassidy rainwater they'd spoken to him when she was initially reported missing they rocked up to his lonely property in the middle of the woods on Moon
Valley Road hey you know what's going on do you know nothing about uh you know Cassidy see the property was remote it was way out in the boonies a little ramshackle Hut in the First and James he's always a weird guy odd creepy most people thought you know strange folk in those strange woods but the police had reason to speak with him about Cassidy when Cassidy was reported missing back in August the family member who had reported Cassidy missing had said they believed Cassidy had been with James when she was last seen now in the
initial report though like missing persons report they listed James Phelps as James rainwater they somehow must have assumed they were married incorrectly regardless the Sheriff's Office kind of quickly figured that out and they went to speak with James back in August about where Cassidy was that people were worried about her that they hadn't seen her in like about a month by the time the actual missing person's report had been filed now back in August James had readily admitted yeah she was staying here you know uh we'd been hanging out she was kind of like down
on her look a little bit so James said you know I was just giving her a lift up there you know just helping her get back on her feet but then she just upped and vanished in the middle of the night sometime in in Late July and he hadn't seen her since she had been she'd been talking about going to Colorado and then never seen her again not even a thanks he said it was weird but not entirely unexpected she probably went back to the family did the old Irish goodbye I'm not going anywhere so
back then the deputies they had no reason to suspect anything untoward about James or about Cassidy again as I said really strange guy living out in like the remotest parts of the forest but there's no sign that you know nothing really linking them to fell play here to go off of it was really like one of those you know not sure if you're telling the truth but we'll leave it for now plus that place James itself it was creepy enough you don't want to spend any longer out there then you have to obviously they must
have noticed something was off and they did not forget about James because as soon then as the FBI passed on this tip about Cassidy rainwater they immediately got a search warrant were like we're coming back their September 17th visit was very different from the first visit when they had initially spoken to James about Cassidy a host of armed officers drove out to the remote Moon Valley Road locked and loaded and they marched onto the property James was shocked what are you Lads doing here to which they shoved a search warrant in its face one deputies
then got inside the property itself they immediately we were like they recognized this was the same place from those Anonymous pictures that have been sent in there was no doubt in their mind that they were now standing where those pictures had been taken those photographs by the way are seriously disturbing in and of themselves the photos showed Cassidy rainwater only partially clothed and locked in a cage intended for animals other photographs depicted Cassidy's body being trust up on a Gantry crane which is typically used for gutting and preparing Wild game animals the pictures also showed
Cassidy's body in various states of um evisceration and dissection really dark stuff and the cage and the other items they were still right there but there was no sign of custody they took James's mobile his computers digital devices and on them they found even more horrific images videos really dark dark stuff videos that have been taken in a shed at night screaming blood the investigators are going through every single cabinet drawer desk table one investigator walked over to the fridge and he opened it up and inside he just saw the usual ad of data items
yeah we all have just a bit more grimy than probably your fridge but he also seen some packages which look like like meat they were they were wrapped up there's no labels on them apart from a piece a piece the only thing written on that tape wasn't the type of me it was just 7 24. that's the date it's believed Cassidy was last seen and later tests would show that meat was was Cassidy James was taken into custody immediately but he didn't say a word to the investigators he would not talk at all then two
days later on the 19th of September with James refusing to talk investigators picked up James's housemate he didn't live alone 56 year old Timothy Norton Timothy was a long-haul truck driver but not currently working and had lived with James for a fair few years at that point on Moon Valley Road when he was picked up he was shocked he said didn't know anything about Cassie we don't he didn't know anything about Cassie he didn't know anything about pictures didn't know anything about her being kept in a cage and then being tortured and dismembered the police
though were able to kind of like do the him immediately they all know you when they railed to prove his cell phone had been at that location on the 24th of July so when confronted with this little Timothy over here kind of changed his story uh a and by a bit I mean a lot he was a bit more talkative than his housemate and he said Not only did he know that Cassidy had been held in a cage but he he knew exactly what had happened to her he was now saying that on the 24th
of July he'd been at the property doing his own thing when James had popped the head out of one of the shacks and asked him to help restrain Cassidy then the screams began not much is really known about James or Timothy or their background really at all though living in isolation like this will do that to you it appears they have been friends since high school James a few grades ahead of Timothy when they attended Skyline High School together in the county they were lifelong friends at this point and neighbors would say they were both
well into the quote seedier side of things not really something you want to hear After High School graduation James enlisted in the Army and after that his backstory goes quiet he had been living at that property on Moon Valley Road since at least the early 90s Timothy Norton he joined the Marines after school and in the early 90s he had a few run-ins with the law but but for minor stuff I'm talking bad checks non-payment of debts that sort of thing he was married twice and he then went on to be a truck driver getting
this sick ass tattoo the pair were closed out in them Woods out to God knows what the search of the property lasted for weeks and and yeah they they found a little bit more than they're expecting but also a little bit less than they were expecting in a very weird twist one of the buildings on Moon Valley Road burnt down on the 4th of October a bomb squad was called to that property on Moon Valley Road James and Timothy they had booby trapped their own place luckily none of the police were hurt but around the
area tripwires attached to improvised incendiary devices multiple were found on a property one of the officers must have tripped the wire on the tripwire the cages everything they found made this seem like it was a lot bigger than two men murdering one woman and then eviscerating her first of all you got these images being put up sold or whatever on the dark web like was there more here than just two creepy guys out in the woods was this more like a True Detective kind of type situation uh it's incredible to think all of this was
found due to an anonymous tipster sending in an email to the FBI an email that would had that had simply been titled Cassidy and before we continue let me just mention that this whole video is sponsored by beam the best way to get an amazing night's sleep because you need your sleep folks personally I'm not a great sleeper you know when I'm lying in bed my brain is always going a million miles a minute because I'm always just thinking about what videos I could be cooking up for you I'm like a zombie all day exhausted

video and to dream which does exactly what it says in the tin now let's get back to the story so back to it tripwires were found on the property tripwires that look like they had been set up after Cassidy had been killed as in like James and Timothy had been expecting they'd been weighed for somebody to come in police whatever and they wanted this whole place to disappear that's even intro detective now that I think about it and so with fires being started on the property this really hampered the investigation a whole lot like they
it made it so much harder a lot of evidence was burnt to the ground and it was really hard to set up a timeline of what exactly happened what else they could have been up to tread their investigation the County Sheriff's Office and FBI played their cards pretty close to the chest and released and confirmed very little information to the public and so this entire setup on very very little being released speculation was was kind of like everywhere and sure I I don't blame them I mean first of all pictures up on the dark web
of Cassidy it's like were there more pictures up there the tipster who sent this and who was viewing this still Anonymous so it's it's kind of impossible to say where they found these images where who they where were they in like Saint Cahoots is this person the only thing that's known about them is that they were in Germany but I mean sure could have used a VPN or something like that to change their address had they been doing this for a while I mean you got two creepy guys out there in the woods and the
way it was done it would lead you to think they had been they had in fact been doing this for a while so were others involved then rumors ranged from kidnap For Hire underground hostile style Rings all the way to a full-blown cannibal meat Black Market and the thing is that seems at least apparently true I mean she was held in a cage her photos are put on a dark web and then she had been chopped up into meat and put in the fridge what were they gonna do with it I can Hazard a guess
like where are they gonna sell parts of her online James had a profile on a BDSM site was he using that to contact victims or for people who wanted to join in BDS m stands for murder when the house and the crime scene burned down many were quick to scream cover-up and claim it had been done purposely by law enforcement to cover up involvement of powerful local figures that this had been going on you know for years and every time it nearly was leaked released to the police or or to the media some local bigwig
came in shut that down that there was way more to this it wasn't just James and Timothy a lot of people had visited that property on Moon Valley Road and strings stretched out from there across America from Missouri to to Germany Maybe Timothy Norton would finally give a full interview and statement to the police he said James Phelps had called him over on the 24th of July to Aid him in restraining Cassidy Cassidy had been asleep in the living room on the floor and so James thought this was the perfect moment she'd be easy to
subdue Timothy claimed he went in there he held her feet down while James got on top of her and strangled her to death after she was dead the two men took her outside and and attached her to a Gantry praying where she was dressed up like it like a dead deer and James then chopped her up once her body was completely dismembered James and Timothy moved the remains to the bathroom of his house and placed them piece by piece into the bathtub and from there he shuts her up like steak and into the freezer for
well probably wasn't going to keep it just to look at it after one appearance in court Timothy told a local news station that because it just kind of happened it seems like I told somebody else once he kind of went sideways and that he probably advisor to die and I'm ready for that not right to take a life you know everybody Harps at me you know I'm a monster I'm a monster I'm a monster they don't know who I am Timothy also told investigators that at one point himself and James had gone out to the
local Walmarts in search of victims which is only throwing more fuel on the fire that this wasn't their first time I don't think it was for some reason Cassidy trusted James have staying with him why don't nobody use that to his advantage and I mean Timothy's own story about hell went down that she was sleeping and yelled her down she was strangled the photos that the tipster had sent in show Cassidy was alive in the cage this wasn't a quick death she'd been tortured in there both men were allocated public defenders during their initial Court
appearances where they faced charges including first degree kidnapping moving at corpse and inflicting injury not to mention murder now even though both of Cassidy's killers they were caught and they were imprisoned it's it's hard to say she actually got real Justice and that we even know the full story here after two years Timothy Norton the last person in the Cassidy rainwater investigation learned he will serve life without parole there's no other sentence eligible in this case besides life without parole so we knew if he entered a plea that would be the sentence Norton entered that
plea in court Tuesday yes in April 2023 James Phelps and Timothy Norton both managed to get plea deals with James Phelps accepting an Alfred plea and Alfred please you know when he gets a deal he's basically maintaining he's innocent but that he knows that if it went to trial it would likely end in a guilty plea those pleased meant they'd only be sentenced for the murder charges and not the other crimes like terrorizing and kidnapping and without those extra charges the death penalty was taken off the table James Phelps and Timothy Norton each received a
life without parole sentence so the family didn't have to go through a trial right and both James Phelps and Timothy Norton will die in cages just like they did to Cassidy but it also means that because there's no trial the whole story won't won't come out it truly feels like there's something more in your stuff we will never know and now we will likely never know and pound for pound going just by population there is a startling number of disappearances in Missouri in an eerily tragic twist to detail Cassidy's mother Tracy wawasuk went missing back
in 2007 aged 43 just 10 years older than Cassidy yourself was when she died Tracy's buddy was later discovered in a field just outside the town of Lebanon which is right near Moon Valley by a farmer and the coroner confirmed at the time that there was an ongoing investigation into Tracy's death but he couldn't confirm any details including how she died her boyfriend at the time had told reporters that Tracy she often went out into the woods in a local area looking for like artifacts arrowheads that kind of thing one day she went out on
a random stroll in the woods and she never came home now no one was ever arrested regarding what had happened to Cassidy's mother Tracy and in fact there's been little in the way of progress regarding how this all happened but it's very very weird that what happened to Cassidy and Tracy was found very close to it and Cassidy wasn't even from Lebanon so obviously the nature of her own Mother's demise being so sadly similar to her own in like close proximity that only adds to the fire of there being more here than people are letting
on that there is you know occult conspiracy dark web ring something here there's got to be more because of what they found it simply points that are being more here let me just briefly talk to you about something called the school of metaphysics which is something a lot of people have mentioned in regards to this case the school of metaphysics is uh kind of hard to explain it was founded in 1998 and seems to be about living your best life through grounded Spiritual Living whatever that means their Consciousness is evolved through the complete experience and
they bring that Consciousness wherever they go into whatever they do some say they're just a non-violent hippie cult that only eats fruits that sort of thing others claim that's what they want you to think I mean they have buildings in cities Across America mainly in the midwest but then also in some places added away like near Moon Valley Road they also have some very strange videos oh the minds of the Yucatan in Central America foresaw the ending of a great world AIDS Mother Earth ascends to a higher Consciousness she will bring forth the Great Awakening
now as bananas as this video is I'm positive there's a friendly group of people who just want to get away from everybody else but this being in this very small area in Missouri where a lot has happened it just keeps adding to the strangeness I mean even a recent story I told the Abduction of Angela Hammond that also happens not too far away and that case has links to a lot of other missing people I'm sure they're just you know harmless hippies living out there in the woods but they don't seem too popular in the
town and they're about as colty culty as it gets and some say that they've got they're looking at the they have these remote properties to hide skeletons essentially to hide what they're really up into maybe you know the word occult has been used in that conversation a lot and I wouldn't be surprised if James was involved with the school of metaphysics at some point he was with the Universal Life Church which is which is very different but if he was interested in religion spirituality he likely would have popped into the school of metaphysics too and
for just such an out of the way place it seems like there's a lot in this area and so that is too late anyway no more has really come out and it's likely unlikely anything will with both James Phelps and Timothy Norton being sent away for the rest of their lives and both are not saying none by far one of the most uh upsetting into certain cases yeah not only for what happened to poor Cassidy who despite her troubles was a loving mother with her whole life ahead but also for the implications of what else
was going out there what else was happening on Moon Valley Road I was sick sick sons of and I mean the links to online stuff was there other people involved the fact that they had booby trapped their own house was it there to hurt people or was it there to destroy their own place so more couldn't be found now it never will be or if it has the police aren't saying I'm not it's never going to go to trial they won't who knows what is out there still thank you so much for watching uh I
really appreciate being here watching this whole video at me means the world to me as always um please if you're looking for more stuff check out the that chapter patreon where there's Early Access to videos and exclusive videos that chapter podcast is a whole host of different types of stories there so give it a goo but until the next little video take care of each other and yourselves because I love you Mike out [Music] foreign
