School of Humans talkably Havel Catherine looking to the disappearance of Patsy Thompson in the city of Stuttgard, Arkansas, about ten years ago. They could.
On the evening of Sunday, September fourteenth, twenty fourteen, fifteen year old Cassie K Compton went out for a pack of cigarettes down the road from her house in Stuttgart, Arkansas and never came home. At least that's the official story. This is one of those Arkansas cold cases that have become legendary, one of those stories that have been covered tons of times, and yet almost ten years later, we have no arrests and no answers. We do know a
few things for sure. Cassie had been spending the weekend with a male friend of hers named Hunter. They went with his family to an auto demolition Derby and de Witt, which is about forty miles away. They had a great time hanging out, and then Cassie went back to Hunter's house and slept up there on Saturday night. Tracy Snyder, Hunter's mother, has said that this was not out of the ordinary. In fact, Cassie spent a lot of time at their house because Tracy said things were chaotic at
Cassie's house. Tracy said that her house had become a sort of refuge for Cassie. Hunter drove Cassie home on Sunday evening. Shortly after that, Cassie texted Hunter to say she was going out to get some cigarettes. Then Cassie, who was described in her missing posters as petite, around five foot three, weighing around one hundred pounds, with blue eyes and blonde hair, apparently walked down the road and
never came back. I have found a lot of new information about a murder for higher plot, a man posing as a woman, sex crimes, and cover ups that made me see the police's main person of interest in a whole new light. What really happened to Cassie Compton and what was she running from at home?
I'm Catherine Townsend.
If you have a case you'd like me and my team to look into, you can reach out to us at our Helen Gone Murder line at six seven eight seven four four six one four or five. That's six seven eight seven four four six one four or five. This is Helen Gone Murder Line. So we need to take a step back to understand what was going on in Cassie Compton's life.
Cassie K.
Compton was born in Oklahoma. After her mother, Judy Compton Kimsey, was divorced from Cassie's father, Roy in two thousand, Cassie and her mother moved from Oklahoma back to Arkansas.
And there's no way to sugarcoat this.
Both Cassie's mother, Judy and her father, Roy were registered sex offenders, though Judy's name had been removed from that list after fifteen years of good behavior. We're going to get more into those charges later, but for now, we'll say that Roy was convicted of inappropriate sexual contact with a miner, ludacts with a child, and indecent proposals to a miner back in Oklahoma. According to multiple sources, that miner was Judy's older daughter from a previous marriage, so
his own stepdaughter. Roy was sentenced to twenty three years in prison for that abuse. In Stuttgart, Cassie was homeschooled and working to get her ged. Her friend said she was kind and funny, except when she was troubled, which had become a little more frequent in the time period before she disappeared. Her friend said when she was troubled she could get a little quiet. There was someone else in the home, Judy's fiance, twenty four year old Brandon
Lee Rhodes. Now a lot of people pointed out that the age difference between Brandon and Cassie was actually less than it was between Brandon and Judy, who was forty two. As we said, that weekend, Cassie had been spending time with Hunter Snyder and his family. On Saturday, September thirteenth, Hunter's mom, Tracy, said her son had picked Cassie up at her house at around one pm.
That night.
They all went out to the Auto Derby. They had fun, and then Cassie spent the night at the Snyder house. The next day, September fourteenth, Cassie hung out at Hunter's. They had brunch with his family, then later Hunter drove Cassie home. Hunter and Cassie left his house at around six oh five pm. Her house was around a fifteen or twenty minute drive away, so that would put them there at Cassie's house between six twenty and six twenty
five pm. According to Tracy, when Hunter and Cassie pulled up to the house and Cassie got out of the car, Hunter said that he saw Brandon Rhodes outside, but he said he did not see Brandon speak to Cassie. The last thing he saw was Cassie walking up the driveway straight into the house. Hunter got home at around six forty five pm. According to his mom, Cassie sent a text to Hunter at around seven or seven fifteen pm, saying she was going out to get a pack of cigarettes.
That was the last text that was ever sent from Cassie's phone. Judy, who was on disability and sometimes took pain medications, later said when Cassie came home, she was sick in her bedroom, which was in the back of the house. She said she heard Cassie moving around and said hey, baby girl to Cassie through the door, but Judy said she didn't actually ever see Cassie. Brandon told police Cassie was only at the house for about five
minutes before going out again. When she walked out the door, Cassie apparently had her black LG smartphone with her, but no charger for the phone. Hunter's mom, Tracy, said she got three calls from Brandon that night. On the first call, at nine to fourteen pm, Tracy said, Brandon asked if Cassie was still there, I guess, meaning still with them. Now, this is weird because Hunter said clearly Brandon saw Cassie
when they pulled up to that house. Also, both Brandon and Judy told investigators that they had seen or at least heard Cassie at home. Hunter lived kind of far out, it was not walkable, So why would Brandon be asking if she was still with them when he knew Cassie had been dropped off. Tracy said she told Brandon to call the police, and after he'd called back a couple times, Brandon told her that he had done that. Now, Brandon did not have her driver's license, so he had a
bike that he would ride around everywhere. He told Tracy that he'd ridden his bike to the police station to report Cassie missing, but he said police told him he had to wait seventy two hours. Tracy called the police the next morning. She said that she talked to a detective and they told her that was not true. They said no one had made a police report the night before. On that next morning, which would be Monday, September fifteenth,
Judy saw that Cassie was not in her bedroom. She started texting and calling Cassie, but got no response and the calls went straight to voicemail. Judy called Cassie's friends, but no one had seen her, so Judy called the police. Eventually, through a foyer request, the Stuttgart Police did release the original incident report. Judy's name is on it, so it can be confirmed. Judy reported Cassie missing on Monday, September fifteenth at nine fifty two am. Brandon's name was not
on that report. To that report, Judy told police that Cassie had a possible mental disorder and may have been bipolar. She said Cassie had been prescribed and a deepressants in the past, but she said she would flush them because she didn't like taking them. Judy told police if Cassie's mood swings got bad, that Cassie would sometimes go out for a walk. In that report, Judy said that she heard Cassie come in and heard her change and leave from the back bedroom. Judy also gave a description of
what Cassie was wearing. She said she had on a blue spaghetti strap top, black and white plaid shorts, blue and gray cowboy boots with a two to three inch heel, but later Judy clarified. She said she based that on the clothes that were missing out of Cassie's closet, because again, she was in the bedroom the whole time. She never physically saw her daughter, and it didn't take police long to see that Brandon and Judy's stories had a few discrepancies.
Brandon and Judy first told investigators that Brandon was cooking in the kitchen when Cassie came home. He said he'd been cooking breakfast for dinner. He said he saw Cassie briefly, but that Judy did not see her at all. Later,
another story came out. Judy told Tina Stores, a private investigator who looked into the case, and some other people, that Brandon went out for cigarettes on Sunday night also, and that Brandon was gone for quite some time, and that when he did come back, he spent a long time, like an hour in the bathroom vomiting. Remember, Brandon did not have a driver's license, but he had been known to take Judy's.
Car in the past, especially if she was sleeping.
And him going for cigarettes in Judy's car at around the same time Cassie said she was going out for cigarettes seems like a big coincidence. It seems reasonable to wonder could they have gone together or could Cassie have gotten into the car with him. Also, Brandon is saying that he somehow had time to cook dinner, get in his car, buy cigarettes, then then ride his bike to the police station to report someone missing, and have a vomiting spell, all in the two hour period before nine
to fourteen when he called Tracy. In twenty nineteen, Cayla Lafferty, a reporter from KTV Channel seven, did a podcast called Timeline the Disappearance of Cassie Compton, and in that podcast, she talked to a friend of Judy's who said Judy told them that both she and Brandon were given Lie detector tests and that both of them had failed. This friend said Judy told her that she thought she failed her lie detector test because she was taking pain medications
at the time. At first, it did seem like police were treating Cassie as a runaway, and they've admitted this publicly. Stuttgart Police Chief Mark Duke said, quote, you think, all right, she's mad, she left, We'll find her, and then it went sideways from there end quote. Police also said on the record They formed this assumption based on what they heard from family members and.
Other people close.
To Cassie, but no one saw Cassie on that road after she left her house.
She was never seen again in any.
Verified sighting, even though there were a lot of tips called in. People reported seeing her everywhere from Walmart to random highways.
None of those young women was Cassie.
On October third, twenty fifteen, two and a half weeks after Cassie went missing, police took Brandon and Judy's phones. Then, shortly after detectives left their home, a house fire started. The small house fire at Brandon and Judy's residence was pretty quickly put out, but the timing was bizarre. By late fall, the investigations seemed stalled. Police were still saying the only official people of interest were Judy and Brandon,
but some strange things were happening on social media. For one thing, Cassie's personal Facebook page liked the missing page for Cassie, and law enforcement stated that more than one person had access Cassie's personal Facebook page. Also that fall, starting around September twenty fifth, police and the FBI started searching the area that began around the Stuttgard airport. They were looking into reservoirs, riverbanks, under bridges, all kinds of
hiding places near Cassie's home. According to the website find Cassie Compton, the police were considering the theory that someone could have transported Cassie's remains walking or by bicycle, possibly in pieces. They looked for rolled up rugs or garbage bags, but they found nothing. Judy and Brandon started talking to the media. Actually Judy did most of the talking, but when Brandon spoke, he said this.
She was gone, Mike, I whispering.
Win. I found his wording a bit strange. How does a fifteen year old vanish into thin air like that? Now this was late summer, so even though sunset was around seven to twelve pm, it would not have been fully dark until half an hour or so later. And yet not one person saw Cassie after she left her house. There were a few theories about what could have happened to her. Some people believe she could have been kidnapped, either by strangers or by someone she knew, or possibly
she was sex trafficked. Maybe going out for cigarettes was code for something. Maybe Cassie had plans to run away or maybe something else happened to Cassie in that house and she never made it past the driveway for other reasons. Then, a few weeks after Cassie went missing, Judy.
And Brandon broke up.
Judy told Channel seven quote, I believe Cassie would come back if she knew he was not in the picture end quote. She mentioned that Cassie and Brandon had not gotten along. She kicked Brandon out. He started living on the streets. He was arrested for squatting at a property and given a hundred day jail sentence. The Stuttgart Police Department started working with the FBI and the state Police. Judy announced one thousand dollars reward for any information that
would help lead to her daughter. Then in October, police found something under the Biometro bridge about fifteen miles from Casco on the White River. This was near the place where Cassie's cell phone had last pinned. Police reportedly found objects that included a gatorade bottle, two men's shirts, men's toiletries including shaving cream, folded drapes, a girl's Hugs and kisses, sweater,
a Teddy Bear in two bags. Two my knowledge, police have never confirmed if those items belonged to Brandon Roads, but a lot of people thought that the shaving cream might have some significance because Brandon normally had a beard, and when he was arrested a few days after this stuff was found on unrelated charges, he was clean shaven, so by now a lot of people in the community
were fixated on Brandon Roads. Police said the same thing they often say in these investigations, that Brandon and Judy were people of interest, but no one was arrested a charge, and they said no one could be ruled out. Neither Brandon nor Judy have ever been charged in connection with Cassie's disappearance. Over the years, Judy's opinion of whether or not Brandon could have been involved seemed to shift, at
least publicly. In November of twenty fourteen, Judy talked to a reporter from ABC channel seven about her relationship with Brandon. She said Brandon could be controlling. For example, she said he would always pick up the phone and interrupt her when she was talking to law enforcement. Judy also talked about her past and about the incident that led to her being on the sex offender list in Oklahoma.
According to court documents.
Judy was found guilty in Marshall County, Oklahoma, of permitting abuse or neglect.
In November of nineteen ninety.
Eight, Judy told the reporter that Roy, her ex husband, had assaulted her daughter. She said that she was charged with failure to protect her child and basically forced to take a plead. Judy told Channel seven, quote, my ex husband was messing with my oldest daughter and I didn't know anything about it. Then my oldest daughter told my mother end quote.
But I went through.
Those court documents and I saw that not only was Judy put on the sex offender registry, she was also given a five year suspended sentence in connection with that case. Yet when she talked with the reporter, she kind of made it sound, in my opinion, like something that happened to her rather than something she was complicit in.
I found out even.
More details about these charges, and this case was dark. He is charged with leude molestation in this case. According to the court records, the child was traumatized and wanted to give video evidence rather than face Roy in court, which the court allowed. Roy was given a twenty three year prison sentence. According to the records, I found By the way, Roy was in prison when Cassie went missing and still appears to be incarcerated. Does this past behavior
mean that Judy knew anything about what happened to Cassie. No, but in my opinion, it does show that she appears to be capable of minimizing abuse inside the home, and that worries me. After Cassie disappeared, Judy had to deal with multiple heartbreaks over the years, including one cruel person who actually impersonated Cassie and pretended that she was alive and wanted to talk to Judy. I cannot even imagine what that must have been like. Cassie's disappearance made local
and nation news, but there were no arrests. In addition to Brandon, because this was a fifteen year old girl, police also looked into other young men who Cassie had been talking to. On September seventh, twenty fourteen, there was a post on Cassie's Facebook page, actually her last post, in which she wrote, quote, let's get one thing straight. I was not with Dustin, okay, and she mentions a last name as well, which we're not going to mention.
So a lot of people were asking Dustin about this so underneath her comment, he replied and said he and Cassie were never together. He was a little older, I think, so I can imagine him getting nervous if a miner went missing. Anyway, police apparently followed that lead and ruled Dustin out. Things kept coming back to the home, back to Brandon Rhads. One of the things I found most frustrating about this case is that over the years we've heard a lot about Brandon Rhoades, so many rumors u
concrete backs. He continued to get into trouble with the law after splitting from Judy. In twenty fifteen, Brandon was arrested on drug charges, including possession of a controlled substance methamphetamines. After pleading guilty, he was sentenced to two years in prison. Then a couple of years later, he was arrested again, this time it had nothing to do with Cassie Compton. On October sixteenth, twenty eighteen, Brandon was stopped by police
in Pleasant Plains, Arkansas. They saw that Brandon was driving on a suspended license, so they arrested him.
The officers searched the.
Car and they found a loaded AR fifteen assault rifle with a red scope and a lot of other tactical gear. Later, police determined that that weapon had been reported stolen. They got information that Brandon had been paid several hundred dollars to kill the wife of one of his acquaintances, so they brought Brandon up on capital murder charges. I wanted to understand more about this, so I looked into the court documents. Brandon had a different story. He said he
didn't remember anything from the night before. Later he changed his story and said, yes, he was in Batesville to follow someone. He said that a man had paid him two hundred dollars to follow around this man's wife, so Brandon was acting as kind of an unofficial private investigator. Brandon also said he had no idea he had a stolen gun in his truck, but the guy who reported the gun stolen said Brandon was at his residence the
night before. The next morning, Brandon and the gun were gone, So it didn't take Charlote Holmes to figure out who took that weapon. Again, there's been almost nothing reported about Brandon's background. I wanted to know who he really is, so I found buried in a lot of different court documents related to his arrest, the forensic reports that were done,
and they had a lot of very interesting information. I think we learn a lot more about Brandon Rhades from these documents than we have in any of the interviews that he's done. According to court documents, Brandon was born in Little Rock. He grew up with his mother, grandmother, and younger brother in Greenbrier, Arkansas, but he said they moved around a lot to several different states. He told the examiner that he had a stepfather in his life
as well, who was in a motorcycle gang. Brandon said his stepfather physically and sexually abused him between the ages of seven.
And nineteen years old.
He said that from a young age he was abused. He said he was abused with fists, a board, an electrical cord, He was thrown across the room, and when things got too difficult at home, he would escape to the woods. Sometimes he would sleep outside. He went to school in Mount Vernon and Stuttgart High School, but he was expelled several times for having an explosive temper. He said he stopped going to school in ninth grade and
went to work. Brandon said when he was seventeen, he went to meet the man he believed was his biological father, but later a DNA test showed that that man was not his father, which I can imagine must have been crushing for him. He also said he had been smoking pot around three times a day for as long as he could remember. He said he developed a meth habit in high school. At first, like a lot of people, he said, he started taking it to keep him awake
at work. Brandon worked several different jobs. He worked at lumber one in Stuttgart, but he got fired from that job. Later, he did some landscaping and worked for a company and DeWitt fabricating metal for farming equipment. By twenty eleven, Brandon was on his own. He was living in abandoned houses for a few weeks at a time. That's when he got into a relationship with Judy and he moved in
with her and Cassie and Stuttgart. Now, if you look at his old Facebook posts, which have been inactive for a long time, this seems to have been a happy time for him, at least on social media. Judy is his cover photo the whole thing, and he has a post there saying that Judy baptized him in twenty fourteen. In this interview with the psychiatrist, Brandon discussed his criminal history.
He told the examiner about Judy and Cassie and said, quote, I would not be surprised if someone is trying to kill me because they believe I killed her daughter and buried her somewhere.
End quote.
I don't have time to go through the entire case, but the case, by the way, is wild. Police were trying to figure out which story to believe what was going on here. They found text messages between Brandon and the man who allegedly hired him to follow his wife. In those texts, they were discussing the fact that this woman was allegedly cheating on her husband with another man, a love rival. So at first Brandon and the husband talk about beating up the other love rival. Then Brandon
was apparently planning to plan drugs on this love rival. Later, Brandon and the husband also talked about just killing the wife. The whole time, Brandon was saying he's obsessed with the punisher Frank Castle from the comic books.
For those who haven't read it.
He's the vigilanti who tortures bad guys and has a very twisted view of dispensing justice. Police interviewed the wife whom Brandon followed. She talked about how her husband had paid someone to stock her, how she'd seen a white truck the type that Brandon drove around. Police also found evidence that Brandon called this woman and pretended to be a woman, and that in that phone conversation he told her that she was a mother who needed to be
taking care of her kids. This gets even deeper. Brandon told police he had gender dysphoria. When they arrested him, he was wearing fake breasts and a sports brath And there are a lot of text messages in these documents where Brandon was talking to this love rival, and in these texts he was pretending to be a woman and trying to entice this man into doing some very sexually graphic things. It seems to me from these police interviews that Brandon sees himself as a violent anti hero vigilante.
He also said he was never close to his mother. He later told police he did not like women. And yet it's complicated because according to his behavior, it seems like he's also in many ways presenting as a woman. The case continued to get more and more bizarre. Then in early twenty twenty one, there was another very strange incident.
We'll be right back.
In early twenty twenty one, a video of a woman on TikTok and other social media started making the rounds. This this woman had black hair and two black eyes and was in the car with a couple of guys who were rapping the whole time. She was just looking forward with this kind of dead stare. This woman looked identical to Cassie Compton. People believe this could be her. This brought new life into rumors that Cassie could have run away on her own.
The video went viral.
And people started posting about a missing person's case that was solved by TikTok.
The FBI Little Rock Office.
Confirmed that they were looking into who this mystery woman was, but sadly, this was not Cassie. The woman was later identified as Hailey Grace Phillips. She was a young woman from Los Angeles who actually made her own video to say she was not Cassie Compton. She said she'd recently been mugged, that's why she had black eyes, but she was fine and safe.
Another dead end.
Back to twenty nineteen, Caylea Lafferty is doing her podcast called Timeline The Disappearance of Cassie Compton. She ended up interviewing Brandon Rhodes at the Independence County Jail. By the way, Kayla was not able to record the interview with Brandon, but she did record her thoughts immediately afterwards. She said she asked Brandon what he thought had happened to Cassie. She said Brandon told her that he believed the text that Cassie sent that text to her friend Hunter about
cigarettes with some kind of code. He believed that she had been waiting for someone and that she got picked up and never made it out of the driveway. Kayla said that Brandon told her that Judy was sick and that when Cassie came home from Hunter's house, he said he was in the bedroom with Judy. So now he seemed to be saying that he never saw Cassie. Now, this totally contradicts what Judy has said in the past about Brandon being in the kitchen cooking, and it contradicts
what he himself has said in the past. He said he saw Cassie, she came in, She was there for a few minutes, and she left. By the way, that's also a different story than Hunter tells, because remember Hunter said that when he and Cassie pulled up, Brandon was outside and saw Cassie going into the house. Cayla said, quote, he was talking about how people think he's a psychopath. He asked me what I think makes a psychopath. He was going on and on about how it's pain that
creates a psychopath. I then asked him, are you a sociopath or a psychopath? He was like, what, No, But the whole time he was staring me dead in the eye, trying to intimidate me into believing he's a psychopath, I
think end quote. She also asked him about these very strange murder for higher charges, and he told her a version of what he told the police, that he was paid a few hundred dollars, but that actually he was just posing as a hitman and the reason he was doing that was so that he could work under cover and be sent to prison on purpose, so that he could work on Cassie's case from the inside. Cayla also said Brandon told her that a psychologist to diagnose him
with multiple personality disorder. So, in my opinion, interactions with law enforcement and Brandon show a picture of someone who is clearly disturbed and.
Does have some issues.
But I want to go back to the court documents, and I want to go back to what the trained professional, the forensic examiner found, because the examiner who did a clinical interview with Brandon found nothing like that. No mental disease or defect, no depression or anxiety. They found Brandon was competent to stand trial. No multiple personality disorder or suicidal ideation. They did notice that Brandon's speech was low volume and slow rate, but they said that did not
indicate any type of mental deficiency. On the contrary, they found he had very good short term and long term memory. Brandon said something to the examiner that I think is very telling. He said, quote, I am a violent person, very volatile, but I know when I can or can't be violent depending on situations. Here at the doctor's office or court is not a situation where you can be violent end quote. To me, this signifies that he understands
exactly what was going on. So what's next for Cassie's case. Some people in Judy's family, including her son Chris, have said they still believe that Brandon may have been involved. When Judy last talked to media, she said that she no longer believes that Brandon could have harmed Cassie. Judy has said, quote, he looked at her like his daughter, you know, and if he did, it would be shocking to me.
End quote. But based on Judy's.
Past some of these patterns, we can deduce that even in the most generous and best case scenario, she is not always the best judge of character. And we already know that Brandon's a liar and by his own admissions, has some very disturbing thoughts and complicated feelings about women. So now we're left with this suspicion's behavior stories that don't match. But as far as I know, no physical evidence finding Cassie's remains would be a major break in
the case. I don't know how many of y'all remember those topics threads. I know the site has been shut down for a long time now, but people still have screenshots from the old days where people were talking about rumors on there. Some people have made the point that Brandon was into prepping and that.
He would know where to hide a body. He actually said.
In his police interview that he was very into prepping and talked about that a lot. Maybe there's a clue there somewhere. If Brandon did do something to Cassie, if he did kill her, where would he put her body? How would a prepper handle this situation? Did he use his bike or could he have used Judy's car or another vehicle that.
We don't know about.
Brandon, who was always completely denied any involvement in Cassie's diay appearance, is now out of prison. Brandon seems to paint himself in his interviews as the victim of circumstances. But we're about to hear about the other side of Brandon Rhoades, this time from one of his victims. As usual, I found the answer I was looking for buried in some otherwise boring court documents that, to my knowledge, no one has ever talked about. In twenty twenty three, a
woman asked for an order of protection against Brandon. Now this is public information, but out of respect and concern for this victim, I'm not going to make her name public. I'm telling this story because I believe it is very important and potentially very relevant. Here's what she wrote, in her own words in twenty twenty three.
I'm just going to read an excerpt here, not the whole thing.
This victim said that Brandon has tackled her to the floor multiple times, that he has called her names, that he would scream at her, call her a bitch and a cunt and a whore. She said he has sexually assaulted her, that he has put her in a chokehold. She wrote quote, he has told me about his two people inside his head, chaos and insanity, and has brought
them out to meet me and belittle me. Brandon told me when we first got together that has ex abused him and that he was getting in trouble for nothing.
None of this was true.
Brandon has major anger issues. He's a time bomb. He was arrested on domestic battery from his previous relationship where he did the same things to her. I am scared for my life if he gets out tomorrow and comes to the apartment. I'm having neck and back and shoulder and down into my arms searing.
Pain from the abuse.
I can provide documents and photos of bruises. He also forced me to put my Facebook messenger in snapchat on his phone. He has searched me online and paid for it getting all my info. I am scared to death. When he gets out and finds out I'm doing all this, I'll be dead end quote. The order of protection was granted.
I have no desire to publicize someone's private life like this, but at the same time, I feel a responsibility to this victim because this man is out there, and if something does happen to this woman, I want the man who's abusing her to know that a massive audience of people know what is going on, and that these listeners care about what's happening and will report it immediately to
law enforcement. Something that does jump out to me immediately when I read this, other than the sheer horror of this statement, is the fact that this woman said something really interesting. She said Brandon forced her to have her social media on his phone, that he stalked her social media, so we know that he's savvy with social media. I wonder about that because we know that a few days after Cassie went missing, her Facebook page was liking a
page on Facebook. I want to believe that Cassie Compton ran away and it's somewhere her best life, and maybe she is, But honestly, I don't think that's likely. Also find myself thinking about that last text, the one that Cassie sent saying she was going out for cigarettes, and wondering whether she really sent it at all. On September fourteenth, twenty fourteen, as the sun went down behind that small
house in rural Arkansas, what really happened that night? If you have any information about Cassie Compton, please call the Stuttgart Police Department on eight seven oh sixty seven three one four one four.
