way no [Music] way way out a 15-year-old girl walked away from her home in September of
00:03:40
2014 she took only her cell phone after that she was gone like a Whisper In The Wind her case was treated as a runaway
00:03:53
and then a missing child but many fear that it is much much worse did she die in an accident was she
00:04:03
murdered was this a human trafficking case or did she indeed run away there are so many alternative facts and so
00:04:14
many unanswered questions in this case starting with the changing stories told by the people in this girl's life
00:04:23
compounded with the unverified information floating around there are so many people close close to her who
00:04:31
failed this girl that we fear this case will never be solved this is true crime garage and
00:04:40
this is the case of Cassie Compton way no way out in September of 2014 Cassie Compton was
00:05:09
15 years old and living with her mother Judy in stutgart Arkansas stutgart is a town of about
00:05:17
9,000 residents that is famous for its rice production and duck hunting every year thousands of hunters descend on
00:05:25
stutgart for duck season and duck calling competitions there are a big deal sadly Cassie would go missing from
00:05:34
this town of 9000 in September of 2014 leading up to the day in question Cassie and her mother Judy had moved to
00:05:44
stutgart just 5 years prior the two making the move to Arkansas from Oklahoma in
00:05:52
2009 Judy said the move was prompted by her becoming a piano player for the stutgart church
00:06:00
Judy had been married to Roy Compton and Cassie was born December 4th 1998 she had three older siblings two
00:06:09
brothers and a sister the older siblings remained in Oklahoma and when Judy and Cassie moved to Arkansas it started off
00:06:17
just the two of them we reference a KATV interview with her older brother Chris where he said that out of the four
00:06:26
children in the family he was the closest with Cassie Cassie did not have a relationship with her father this case
00:06:34
is unique in that we do not have any personal friends of Cassie who have spoken to the media we have only the
00:06:42
word of adults who knew Cassie her mom her friend Hunter's mom her stepfather to be Brandon and her brother Chris to
00:06:52
tell us about Cassie the police have revealed very little in this case there have been different stories that have
00:06:58
been told about who Cassie was and what her life was like Cassie's mom Judy says
00:07:04
they were very close she says her daughter was a normal teenager she liked bowling cookouts and movies but Cassie
00:07:12
didn't go to school she was homeschooled her mom tells it that Cassie said the kids at school were mean to her and she
00:07:20
didn't want to go so she studied at home for her GED Judy has also said that this
00:07:26
decision was in part because of Cassie's severe allergies Judy has said that she was
00:07:33
allergic to quote the environment I'm guessing she's meaning everything Cassie apparently had an epip pen that she kept
00:07:42
in her backpack and Judy told lots of people reporters the police that Cassie was bipolar Andor clinically depressed
00:07:51
and that she was prescribed medication for this condition but she didn't like to take her meds and flush them down the
00:07:59
toilet however there is no evidence that Cassie was ever actually diagnosed by a doctor
00:08:07
and prescribed anything this according to the stut guard police chief Mark Duke Duke was one of the original officers
00:08:16
who responded to Cassie going missing and he knew the family from a previous unrelated visit to the home the lore
00:08:25
about Cassie is that she was not happy with her life this is backed up by some evidence one is that Judy told a private
00:08:34
investigator who worked closely with her her name is Tina stores of Halo investigations that Cassie had run away
00:08:42
a couple of times before although she always came home on those previous occasions after just a couple of days
00:08:49
and another was Cassie's brother Chris Chris said Cassie would confide in him and say that she was unhappy she was
00:08:57
unhappy because of her mom's fiance Brandon Lee rhods Chris said quote they would fight all of the time they didn't
00:09:06
get along and she didn't want to be around him well Brandon was quite a bit younger than her mother he was actually
00:09:13
closer to Cassie's age than Cassie's mother's age yeah the two met through mutual friends they end up getting
00:09:22
engaged in 2012 Brandon was living with Judy in her house on 15th Street in stuck with
00:09:30
Cassie and Judy obviously yeah Brandon had been in Cassie's life since she was about 13 years old Cassie had a black LG
00:09:40
straight talk smartphone and would post often on her Facebook page sharing information with her 93 friends on there
00:09:50
her page is not set to private most of her posts are very short so we get things like I made cookies or my cat had
00:10:01
kittens however it's not clear whether a post on Cassie's page on February 8th 2014 saying I'm engaged and a life event
00:10:12
got engaged was to be taken seriously she was only 15 at the time a year before on May 12th her page marked a
00:10:21
life event saying in a relationship but it's not clear who this relationship was
00:10:26
with neither post tagged any anyone else a lot of the timeline in the days leading up to Cassie's
00:10:36
disappearance is simply speculative since Cassie didn't attend school we have some gaps and police
00:10:44
haven't really released much of anything that they may have obtained through her
00:10:49
phone records we are going to go through what we know about four consecutive days
00:10:56
a Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday in September of 2014 starting with Thursday the stutgart
00:11:03
daily leader reported that Cassie had been to the doctor a few days earlier for a bad cold and was on
00:11:11
medication a local familiar with the case posted that Brandon rhods had driven Cassie to the doctor on that
00:11:20
Thursday we don't know anything else about this doctor visit on Friday night so now we're at September 12th it's is
00:11:29
believed that Cassie went to the stutgart high school football game we have zero information on who she went
00:11:37
with or who she was hanging out with now we go to Saturday September 13th Cassie
00:11:43
was going to hang out with her friend Hunter Snider and there have been some questions here Captain if the two were
00:11:52
in a relationship no one's ever said that they were boyfriend and girlfriend it's
00:11:58
always been reported and stated by the people that knew the two that they were simply best friends but she's going to
00:12:04
go hang out with Hunter Snider I couldn't track down this guy's age I from what I could read and what I could
00:12:11
find I believe him to be close to Cassie's age maybe slightly older yeah I believe he's slightly older but he's
00:12:18
been Cooperative with police and as far as my research goes he's the only individual that police have came out and
00:12:25
said that they've cleared him Hunter's mom's friend picked Cassie up at 1:30 on Saturday afternoon and brought her to
00:12:33
Hunter's house they all left at 3:30 to go to the Arkansas County Fair demolition derby in dit after that
00:12:42
Cassie spent the night at the sniders according to reports Hunter and Cassie were newish friends and Hunter is
00:12:49
described as her best friend like we said the next morning they had Sunday brunch and a quote lazy day in the
00:12:59
evening Hunter took Cassie home to her mom's house which was located on East 15th Street in stutgart this is not in a
00:13:07
rural area it's Urban on Google Maps it's the block of East 15th Street between Grand and college so we have
00:13:16
both homes and businesses are in this immediate area we have a one-sided text chain from that weekend these are text
00:13:26
from Cassie to her mother that that were posted on a message board from a user going by the name caring for many which
00:13:35
pulled this from a broken daily leader article so this is a phone text timeline for Cassie and she's communicating with
00:13:45
her mother Judy but we only get the one side that was released so on Saturday September
00:13:51
13 at 9:47 a.m. Cassie texts to her mother nothing much I'm fine still got a cough though but it's getting
00:14:01
better still on Saturday now in the evening time at 6:56 p.m. she replies yeah 2 minutes later love you too so we
00:14:11
get to hear the one side of that conversation now we go to Sunday the 14th starting at 3:19 p.m. she tells her
00:14:18
mom text her says just tired then 3 minutes later at 3:22 p.m. yeah just feel like I haven't got enough
00:14:27
sleep as 6:02 p.m. this is where we start to get very near the time in question here she's texting her mom at
00:14:36
6:02 saying are you home we don't know what the reply was or if she got one but one minute later she's sending another
00:14:42
text to her mom at 6:03 p.m. saying be home in a bit this 603 text appears to be the last text from Cassie to Judy now
00:14:53
we go to CNN an interview with Tracy who is Tracy Tracy's Hunter's mom remember what we know about this timeline so far
00:15:03
is Hunter is returning Cassie to her mother's house on this Sunday evening this interview is conducted by Jane valz
00:15:12
Mitchell so Tracy Hunter's mom says he left our house at 6:05 and he got back by
00:15:20
645 talking about her son Hunter we live out of town so it was a bit a little bit
00:15:26
by the time he got there and dropped her off and got back home she did send him a text message
00:15:34
saying that she was going to go out and quote find a pack of cigarettes and that is the last response
00:15:42
he got from her so she's telling the public my son dropped her off and here's some communication that the two had
00:15:50
after he dropped her off and he had returned home well like you said we have the communication
00:15:56
between her and her mother and she's asking hey are you home we don't know what the reply is but again we have this
00:16:05
speculation we have people saying that maybe Cassie wasn't super comfortable in the living situation with mom's
00:16:13
boyfriend or fiance Brandon we are kind of overlapping this information here to show that some of it it seems to stack
00:16:23
up nicely right if she's texting mom at 602 saying are you home then at 603 saying be home in a bit and then we have
00:16:31
Tracy Hunter's mom saying that they the two left our house at 605 so that all seems to gel real nice based off of what
00:16:41
Tracy is saying about that trip to drop Cassie off it would appear to me Captain
00:16:47
that that it was very likely about 625 is when Cassie would arrive home Hunter also told his mother that she
00:16:57
wasn't very talkative on the way home home which I think is more indication that she didn't want to go home or
00:17:03
wasn't feeling well as the other text had indicated so now we got 6:55 p.m. this is when we are told that
00:17:14
Cassie text Hunter saying that she was going to go find or get some cigarettes I want everybody to to put a
00:17:23
question mark after this keep in mind it's Cassie's phone that sends this message to Hunter's phone I cannot sit
00:17:31
here and say 100% that Cassie text that message to Hunter I can tell you that her phone sent that message to his phone
00:17:40
but I do not know who scripted that text there was no back and forth or not much
00:17:46
of a back and forth as far as what we've been told here in that statement in that
00:17:51
text she does not mention getting a ride from anyone or anyone coming to pick her
00:17:56
up or meeting anybody she just simply say says she was going out to find some cigarettes Cassie's mom Judy Compton has
00:18:04
changed her story slightly over the years some things have remained consistent in her retelling of
00:18:12
the events of the evening of September 14th but some things have not Judy was sick in
00:18:19
bed that evening and could not even get up without having a dizzy spell so she remained in bed the whole
00:18:27
time she said that she heard Cassie come in that evening so getting dropped off by Hunter she comes into the house that
00:18:34
Sunday evening to which Judy then says that she shouted out hi baby girl but she later said that Cassie did not come
00:18:43
into the bedroom so she says she heard her come into the house she shouts out to her but to be clear she's saying I
00:18:53
never actually saw her I never saw her come she didn't come into the bedroom yeah Cassie's mother claims that she
00:18:59
never saw her I I believe she also says she never heard her which is weird because there is a statement that she
00:19:05
says where on one occasion she Judy states that Cassie denied dinner which sounds
00:19:13
confusing to me but and maybe to some others but as we go through these other statements it will make a little bit
00:19:20
more sense I think a couple things could both be true here Captain right she could have not never heard her dog
00:19:29
and Cassie could have also denied dinner because Brandon lives there as well she
00:19:33
could have her daughter could have told Brandon she didn't want dinner and that means can mean that Mom didn't hear that
00:19:41
interaction Judy says that she dozed off she did not hear Cassie leave when she woke at about 8:00 p.m. Cassie was gone
00:19:50
after a while Judy's fiance Brandon roads started calling around looking for Cassie and the sniders so Hunter Snider
00:19:59
and Tracy who we've already talked about were the first call Hunter's mom Tracy told CNN well there was three phone
00:20:08
calls they started at about 9:14 that night and he first asked if Cassie was still at our house Hunter told his mom
00:20:19
Tracy that when he pulled into Cassie's driveway at her house to drop her off on
00:20:24
that Sunday evening Cassie got out of the truck and walked up the driveway toward the house Brandon rhods Judy's
00:20:33
fiance was on the porch smoking and observed Cassie walk up the driveway and into the house this is according to
00:20:42
Hunter she did not speak to him he didn't speak to her Hunter turned around and went
00:20:50
home arriving around 645 when Brandon called Tracy at 9:14 asking if Cassie was still with with
00:20:58
them this made no sense since according to Hunter Brandon had seen her come home
00:21:05
and Hunter leave Brandon called back two more times saying they still hadn't found Cassie
00:21:13
and asking if Hunter had heard from her Tracy says she kept repeating to Brandon
00:21:18
through these phone calls to go to the police department or call the police and report her
00:21:23
missing in the third phone call he said that he did he went to the police department and
00:21:31
they told him it would be about 72 hours the stutgart police have not confirmed that this happened but a web sluth
00:21:40
verified Insider says that SPD has acknowledged at some point that Brandon rhods did in fact ride his bicycle to
00:21:51
the police station that evening and two officers took a statement from him and told him to go home and see if the
00:21:58
teenager would eventually come home that night or call now at 9:52 a.m. on Monday
00:22:04
so we've the whole night has gone by we wake up now we're at 9:52 a.m. on Monday
00:22:10
September 15th Judy mom Judy spoke with two officers who came to the house this is Kyle Stokes and then Lieutenant Mark
00:22:18
Duke remember he goes on to become the CH police chief the missing person's report on Cassie says the incident
00:22:25
occurred on Sunday September 14th between 6:52 2 and 700 p.m. what a short little window of time to have in
00:22:35
question here the description is only a few sentences long on this report it states quote on September 15 2014 I met
00:22:44
with Miss Judy Compton she stated that her daughter left the house located on 15th Street between 6:45 and 700 p.m. on
00:22:52
September 14 2014 and has not returned Cassie Compton is a 15 year-old with blonde hair and blue eyes approximately
00:23:01
100 lb has a scar on her left cheek subject was last seen wearing a blue tank top and teal plaid shorts Miss
00:23:10
Compton States her daughter has been diagnosed with a mental disorder possibly bipolar end quote well a couple
00:23:18
things before we move on I always hate in these missing person cases where when law
00:23:24
enforcement just assumes that this person is missing without any Foul Play but we have two parental figures that
00:23:31
are not being that cooperative and probably not being that truthful and this report of what she was last seen
00:23:39
wearing this is all speculative her mother actually didn't see her nor did she hear her come into the house that
00:23:46
night so she is basing what she was wearing off of what she knows is missing from her wardrobe at the house yeah and
00:23:58
what else was missing or what else wasn't missing from the house I find to be interesting too Cassie's overnight
00:24:04
bag that she had just taken with her to Hunter's house was found in her room so if she did in fact take that bag to
00:24:13
Hunters then we know that the portion of the story where Hunter returns her home
00:24:19
happened that bag didn't make its way on its own what's weird too is her purse was also in her room I think a lot of
00:24:27
people find that extremely weird I don't find it to be as weird because she's 15
00:24:34
and if in fact that text is correct that she was going to go find a pack of cigarettes she might have to go to a
00:24:41
couple of establishments to get somebody to sell her a pack of smoke she's not old enough to buy
00:24:47
cigarettes and it's a little difficult right if you walk into the place with your purse strapped around you and say
00:24:54
oh I I don't have my ID it's a little more believable if you walk in there with no purse on you and say yeah I'm
00:25:01
I'm of age I just don't have my ID well you first have to believe that she is the one that sent the text the other
00:25:07
thing too is her cell phone's gone but not her charger if she wanted to go away for a
00:25:16
good amount of time or even overnight right she's she's according to her mother has ran away on at least two
00:25:26
previous occasions but came back within a couple days yeah this isn't a case of a runaway the the overnight bag she
00:25:32
would have taken with her the cell phone charger she would have taken with her as
00:25:36
well and the captain's exactly right the description of what she was last wearing is kind of cobbled together
00:25:44
based off of items that might be missing from her room maybe some of what Hunter
00:25:48
says she was wearing when she was dropped off and if if Brandon saw her that night or not well originally
00:25:55
Brandon says that he did see her and then later changes story as said in the trailer police initially treated
00:26:01
Cassie's case as a runaway it was reported in the September 19th report on KATV that since there was no imminent
00:26:13
harm or possible death that Cassie's case didn't qualify for a Morgan Nick amber alert the stutgart
00:26:22
Police said while they don't believe Cassie has been abducted they did file Cassie's description with with the
00:26:28
national Center for missing and exploited children they've also been following up on leads with the family in
00:26:35
Kingston Oklahoma according to this report remember she has extended family living
00:26:40
in Kingston Oklahoma this is about 375 miles away so this included her brother Chris who said that he told police that
00:26:50
if she had run away he believed that she would have come to him but obviously she
00:26:56
didn't turn up eventually what we get here captain and it's fairly quick eventually we get assistant
00:27:05
chief we get assistant police chief Steven Bobo that said that leads gathered early on in this case
00:27:15
contradicted The Runaway Theory so now we have to shift gears and start saying well maybe something else
00:27:24
happened here it's been a busy season of events and travel and your wardrobe has probably
00:27:43

00:33:03
Captain cheers to everybody out there in listener land having a grand time I hope
00:33:10
police one of the first steps that they were going to take looking for Cassie they're going to look for leads right
00:33:15
you we need a breadcrumb trail if in fact she did go off walking to go find some cigarettes as the text said then we
00:33:24
need a breadcrumb trail leading us from her house to where we will find her and so they started checking surveillance
00:33:32
footage at the stores and businesses in the nearby area we have a several businesses uh not limited to the ones
00:33:41
that I'm going to list here but we have a Shell gas station a Family Dollar Store a Walmart so they collected
00:33:49
surveillance from all of these locations hopefully they were successful you know
00:33:55
they show up and and they actually have footage to share with the police but none of these stores seem to have any
00:34:02
footage of Cassie about 2 weeks after her disappearance the stut guard Police Department asked for assistance from the
00:34:10
Arkansas State Police and the FBI law enforcement announced an official search for Cassie that would take place on
00:34:17
October 4th calling for volunteers to help in the search they were searching this area that's called Casco and I
00:34:27
think this is rather important here so while the search didn't turn up anything the
00:34:34
officials were calling this search a recovery Mission that's not good it it doesn't sound to me like they were
00:34:43
hoping to recover a an alive and well Cassie so they're calling this a recovery Mission and according to some
00:34:51
of the locals what the rumor was at the time was that they were searching this spefic
00:34:57
specific area because of some cell phone ping information now at the time we're not
00:35:05
told whose phone they're pulling that information from later it is said that it was cass's phone that they had some
00:35:16
cell phone ping information in this area this Casco area yeah so we have no record of Cassie on surveillance footage
00:35:24
of any of these stores we don't have any eyewitness is claiming that they saw her
00:35:29
that night or in that area so really this idea that she went anywhere we have no evidence of it well
00:35:39
but we have her cell phone movement so we do have some cellphone ping technology there so we know that
00:35:48
her cell phone moved we just don't know if Cassie was with that cell phone or if
00:35:53
she was alive at that time and one thing here regarding this this second so there's a second search that takes place
00:36:02
right you hear recovery Mission that's not something you want to hear but then this other statement is
00:36:07
something you definitely don't want to hear but I want to set this up Captain by saying we had mentioned that Brandon
00:36:15
rhs the fiance mom's fiance his what he's saying is that he rode his bicycle to the police department to
00:36:24
report her missing Cassie missing that Sunday night that wasn't because he was just looking to get a little extra
00:36:31
exercise Brandon did not have a driver's license while he was known to drive illegally using Judy's car on
00:36:39
occasion at all the locals say the same thing you would see this guy riding his bicycle around town all the all of the
00:36:47
time so on the second search they are advising the volunteers this search starts off much closer to
00:36:55
Cassie's home to the Compton resident and they tell the Searchers immediately that you might be looking
00:37:03
for some small dismembered pieces here and the statement that that they used to follow that up with was that we think
00:37:12
that we might be looking for dismembered pieces because it would be easier for transportation purposes
00:37:21
that to me reading between the lines seems to indicate to me we might be talking about trying to transport
00:37:28
something without the use of a vehicle #b thean that's just what I'm saying police also search bodies of waters in
00:37:36
the area they interviewed residents along Cassie suspected walking route so this is interesting here they learned
00:37:43
that Cassie lik to walk to the Walmart in One Direction or the laundry mat or the stuck Gart Apartments where she was
00:37:50
known to hang out with some friends okay so these are going to be key areas now one thing we haven't done here in the
00:37:57
garage in a long time might be overdue the old pervert Roundup so on this route right you go One Direction from the
00:38:06
Compton home you go to Walmart you go the other direction it's the laundry mat and the
00:38:11
apartments between the apartments in the Walmart we have 15 registered sex offenders in this area the police
00:38:19
department did go door too to their homes inquiring about Cassie none of these individuals admitted to seeing her
00:38:26
and according to what we can find no suspects came of any of this of these interviews I believe at first law
00:38:35
enforcement wasn't taking this super serious it's very common for a teenager to get an argument with her parents and
00:38:43
disappear for the day once you look into the background of her Cassie's not in a
00:38:50
good living situation and they're not I believe being that truthful with law enforcement
00:38:57
so now we have to start digging up well what is their criminal history and what information can we get
00:39:06
from them can we give them a lie detector can we obtain their cell phone so then we can get cell phone records
00:39:13
from them and that's what law enforcement starts to do yeah on top of that we're seizing the cell phones
00:39:18
belonging to Judy and the fiance Brandon roads now this reportedly happened on October 3rd which is interesting to me
00:39:27
because the CCO search took place the following day October 4th that could be coincidence it's tough to that's a tough
00:39:38
hurdle to clear let's talk about Cassie's mother Judy the stuckart daily leader reported
00:39:47
the following this is on October 14th after interviewing Judy where she says the next morning she's talking about
00:39:55
Monday September 15th she says that she found that Cassie wasn't in her bedroom and started texting Cassie after no
00:40:03
quick response she sent another text then started calling her mother said Cassie always answered her text and
00:40:10
calls she called friends to see if Cassie was there and she wasn't it was then that worry began to set in and law
00:40:18
enforcement was called those are Judy's words so this timeline is very strange right because Brandon rhods claimed that
00:40:25
he went to the police station on Sunday night and told them that Cassie was gone
00:40:30
yet Judy is claiming that she didn't know her daughter was missing until the following morning that makes no no
00:40:37
sense because this what this means is that she was unaware that Cassie was missing and Brandon took it on himself
00:40:46
to call around and ask people if they had seen her okay yeah or somebody's lying look I get it the the official
00:40:52
report is that Judy wasn't feeling well couldn't get out of bed without a dizzy spell but to be completely oblivious to
00:40:59
your daughter being missing until 9:20 something the next morning boyfriend doesn't tell you
00:41:06
anything that's all none of that is is making any sense at all well like I said their stories keep changing at some
00:41:14
point Brandon says well in the kitchen and I was cooking breakfast for dinner and that he saw her and then later he
00:41:24
says that he never saw her but we know that did make it home because of the items that returned yeah and then we
00:41:31
talk about she never sees her daughter but then another version of the story says that she heard her leave the
00:41:38
house so that would kind of back up the going out for cigarettes and at some point Brandon has a he's in the bathroom
00:41:48
throwing up he has some kind of sickness going on yeah and so I look maybe it's maybe
00:41:57
the past history that she's reporting to police is is true is truthful but regardless let's say let's say it is
00:42:07
truthful or it's a lie Judy totally contributed to the police's runaway Theory either
00:42:15
accidentally or on purpose and keep in mind the initial report she's saying Cassie was bipolar
00:42:23
or possibly bipolar even though there was no evidence of that according to the police if she was trying to set up
00:42:32
something she's planting the seed that she ran away and all she's unstable as well and I have all types of problems
00:42:40
with her mother her mother is a or her mother was a registered sex offender and that is
00:42:50
because Cassie's Father which is in jail and he's in jail because he was molesting his which I believe was his
00:43:02
stepdaughter and cass's mother story is that she didn't know what was going on and
00:43:09
basically what she was charged with was the fact that she did know what was going on and was
00:43:15
basically protecting her husband from getting in trouble yeah so this this takes a while to come out okay so this
00:43:24
does this is not a part of the immediate information well not the immediate information from the like coming from
00:43:33
the media but law enforcement would have known this from Jump Street if they checked right right you don't you don't
00:43:41
there's it's not the Scarlet Letter where they just put a a big giant sign above your house that says registered
00:43:47
sex offender lives here uh should and and to to to say hey wait 48 hours or 72 hours or what Happ
00:43:57
you look this is the other thing that bothers me I get that all right you have somebody that that potentially has a
00:44:03
history of running away I get it that that is protocol in a lot of the police departments and and has been for a long
00:44:11
time it's changed in some jurisdictions over the years but in some jurisdictions
00:44:17
it's going to say stay this way the thing I've never understood like okay so studart is not like this crimer ridden
00:44:23
area the in 2014 there was not even there was not a single homicide that we are aware of right Cassie Compton may
00:44:31
have been murdered but it's never been labeled homicide so in 2014 you have no homicides and it's not a
00:44:40
crime it's not not just it's not this filthy seedy horrible area where there's just Crime After Crime After
00:44:48
Crime if you guys ain't got nothing to do let's take this report seriously for a couple of hours please please
00:44:59
but but then then as much as you you want to get angry and and shake a fist at law enforcement here you go what the
00:45:07
hell is going on at home because that's seems to be if there was a problem that seems to be where it
00:45:14
all started you're not getting it's difficult to say that the the Judy and Brandon were not
00:45:23
Cooperative because on the surface it feels a little bit like they're Cooperative they blow they both reported
00:45:31
her missing they both attempted to describe the situation report the situation to
00:45:38
police and they are talking with police and mother Judy's talking with the media
00:45:44
and we we referenced some of those interactions with the media and interviews that she was doing some on
00:45:49
camera some for newspapers but in most of those she's pleading to her she's making a plea to her daughter please
00:45:56
come back you know we're not mad at you it's safe to come home and whether there was anything bad
00:46:04
going on at home or not that that would appear that there is some level of cooperation what makes it so that there
00:46:12
is not this perfect level of cooperation is the changing Stories the changing stories are
00:46:25
very it's easy for me to get very angry with this mother and I also think that she may have no clue what happened to
00:46:34
her daughter I think both could be possible all at the same time yeah but I think look I think the
00:46:42
mother is a loser I think she tried she's never won mother of the year award never even been
00:46:50
nominated oh we have she was on the registered sex offender list because law enforcement believed that she was
00:46:58
protecting a child molester and she was protecting a child molester that was molesting her own
00:47:05
child so that's what law enforcement that's what that criminal history tells us we now have a situation where she
00:47:12
moves to this new location okay maybe that's to better her life maybe that's to better benefit her child's life but
00:47:19
then the child is not in school doesn't have a lot of friends and then what does she do she
00:47:27
moves in this individual that's quite a bit younger than she is and he doesn't have much
00:47:35
going for him he might be loser of the year in that county and then yes okay so she's sick she's not feeling well but it
00:47:45
seems like she also just believed whatever story Brandon her boyfriend was telling her that night and instead of
00:47:54
saying hey well we really need to uh take this serious she's almost giving evidence to law enforcement why they
00:48:02
shouldn't take it serious now I do have to applaud her because at some point she breaks up with
00:48:10
Brandon gets him out of the house and then is hopeful well hey maybe if my daughter finds out that he is gone and
00:48:19
if that is a possibility of why she would want to run away maybe she would come back h so I I do applaud her for
00:48:29
that yes the difficult thing here is that's when her story changes to all Brandon was in the bathroom throwing up
00:48:38
that night right well that might have been something you might wanted to tell the police about day one on on one of
00:48:44
multiple times of being interviewed or you did multiple interviews with police and media before you ever mention that
00:48:52
now he's out of the house and now that's when you choose it so all right let's we'll peel back the curtain a little bit
00:48:59
here because she says she's sick couldn't get out of bed dizzy spells whatever she was on Fentanyl patches at
00:49:09
the time she she may very likely may have been air quote sick because of the drugs being introduced to her body
00:49:20
right and he later will have meth charges and I don't think it was his first time around on that what we're
00:49:28
trying to point out here is I don't we can't say I can't say definitively that mom was doing anything wrong to Cassie
00:49:35
that boyfriend mom's boyfriend was doing anything wrong what I can say is wouldn't put it past them though I'll
00:49:42
wager a Franklin and guess who's going to win the colonel once again because I will tell you Mom done checked out a
00:49:50
long time ago she started slapping on those Fentanyl patches and that's when she checked out I think her story
00:49:56
changed a lot because she didn't know up from down but here's the other problem with my issue with law
00:50:02
enforcement when you start questioning the family and you know something's not right well then you
00:50:09
question well where was Cassie before this and if you started talking to her friend and her friend's parents you'd
00:50:18
quickly figure out that Cassie wasn't in love with her home situation and so to me that's a red flag and so maybe not
00:50:26
day one but by day two we're looking at this case and with different eyes and and and both of these individuals I
00:50:35
believe failed their polygraph test now I don't think that's been reported publicly but I believe in one of the
00:50:41
interviews the mother stated that she failed the test but she believed because she was on drugs or or or the stress of
00:50:51
her daughter going missing I can't remember what her horrible excuse was yeah so I again it those it could be
00:50:58
reasonable it could be that she couldn't physically give a proper test with what
00:51:05
drugs she was on at the time but it this was a mother that didn't work that was on Fentanyl patches and who
00:51:13
knows what else and a loser boyfriend that as the captain pointed out was closer in age to
00:51:20
Cassie or victim or missing person than he was to his fiance now okay so let's talk about her Hunter and
00:51:29
Tracy Hunter is her friend that she stayed the night at their home hung out with until she's dropped off and then
00:51:35
goes missing on that Sunday and Tracy is his mother there's good and bad with with
00:51:42
with that group in my opinion but one thing that it points out is when we go through the timeline of that Thursday
00:51:49
the Friday the Saturday and Sunday what did we have for Thursday and Friday she went
00:51:55
to the doctor and it's reported that she went to a high school football game no other
00:52:01
information 48 Hours of Life a family life and we have two events that were known about and now mind you part of
00:52:13
that is she didn't attend school right she was to call it homeschooled is is not I mean she's
00:52:21
reading a textbook at home yeah she's hanging out at home she watching C she was responsible for for her own
00:52:27
education this is this is a the best information we get about that timeline the 4 days leading up to her
00:52:34
disappearance is from Hunter and Tracy right that gives us several more events because those are seem to
00:52:45
be that's what we would have I I think to me that just is more proof that that even though she lived under the same
00:52:53
roof as Mom and boyfriend they were checked out they were they were absentee yeah right put it mildly right
00:53:02
if so if they weren't doing anything at wrong at all what we do know is they weren't raising her right this is a
00:53:09
child that was neglected now to to say that she was completely unhappy with her life at home that seems true based off
00:53:17
of what her brother Chris says I I'm not so quick to believe Hunter and Tracy as
00:53:24
it appears that they only knew each other for like 3 weeks but Tracy seems to have fully diagnosed the whole living
00:53:32
situation of this girl that she knew for a very brief period of time and knew very little about yeah but here's the
00:53:38
thing when you have a child that is neglected and nobody's taken care of them when they get around an adult or a
00:53:45
parent that they feel safe with she might have shared so much information with her just in a couple hours of
00:53:53
conversation she could have would be better conversation and more information that was that was shared between
00:54:00
Hunter's mother than with her own mother she and what her mother has is a history
00:54:07
of turning a eye when her child is being molested and I wouldn't put it past her boyfriend
00:54:16
this Brandon rhs I wouldn't put it past him to again there's no evidence of this
00:54:23
but if this person if if Cassie is not enjoying her home life and she hates this individual well why does she hate
00:54:30
the individual and is it possible that he was molesting her was it possible that he was abusing her physically or
00:54:37
mentally so I I think these are all things that law enforcement had to question and like the captain pointed
00:54:44
out at some point Brandon is not only absent from the home because Judy says that she asked him to leave broke up
00:54:52
with him she states that she didn't break up with him because he failed the polygraph I believe that's the same
00:54:59
interview that she brings up the polygraph information or that she believed that
00:55:05
Brandon had done something to her daughter she says she broke up with him because she caught him stealing from her
00:55:12
we don't get any particulars about that but now he's absent he's removed from the
00:55:18
home and he's now removed from these interviews that Judy's doing with with the local news at this point
00:55:27
and at some point for one of the interviews that he was present for he's on camera with Judy this is a KATV
00:55:37
interview this is shortly after Cassie goes missing he kind of creeps everybody out
00:55:44
when he tells the interviewer about Cassie walking out the door saying quote she was gone like a Whisper In The
00:55:52
Wind then we fast forward to they split up he's no longer in the picture we get this completely different story from
00:56:04
Mom so remember we had referenced a Tina stores she is a private investigator working with this Halo organization she
00:56:15
spent about a week or so with Judy talking with her working with her closely trying to help out in the case
00:56:25
and then she goes on will continue to help with this case but working with a Kayla laugherty from the local news
00:56:34
while they're working together the story that Judy told Tina listen to how different this is than the stories we've
00:56:40
heard previously she tells the private investigator that Hunter dropped Cassie off on Sunday evening when Judy was sick
00:56:48
in bed and was out of it Cassie said nothing to either of them meaning Brandon or herself Brandon is making
00:56:56
pancakes for dinner and trying to get Judy to eat according to this version of the story Cassie changed her clothes and
00:57:04
went to go get some smokes or a smoke and she's basing this off of perr her text to Hunter but Judy told Tina
00:57:15
that around this same time Brandon told Judy he was going to get cigarettes right he left at about the same time as
00:57:23
Cassie he leaves in Judy's car I believe she says Brandon's gone for quite a time
00:57:29
period a few hours and then when he comes back he's throwing up in the bathroom now here's my speculation is
00:57:39
that Cassie never text anybody to say she's going to get cigarettes I believe that's Brandon
00:57:45
texting Hunter saying you know pretending to be Cassie and then he leaves to go get
00:57:52
cigarettes and he comes back and then he's throwing up for some reason yeah so the way that this timeline would
00:57:59
have to play out is she gets home around 6:25 the text to Hunter comes in about 645 Judy saying that they both leave
00:58:12
around this time or you know who know who knows how much weight you can put into this story at this time but what we
00:58:17
do know is that by 9:14 we have Brandon on the phone calling people looking for her so that's
00:58:25
like like 2 hours and maybe 15 minutes that that his time is unaccounted for and again Judy story very different much
00:58:34
more Vivid with detail at this point saying he's gone for a couple of hours and then when he returned he went
00:58:42
straight into the bathroom and was sick now eventually Brandon he's out of Judy's house out of her life he is
00:58:50
arrested for uh squatting in a vacant home yeah cuz he was homeless and he is also uh gets charges of
00:59:00
possession of methamphetamine at the same time well like you said it's probably not his
00:59:06
first runin with methan fetamines but his run-ins with law enforcement are just going to continue
00:59:15
yeah he gets out on the charges that we just talked about but then he is stopped
00:59:19
for speeding in October of 2018 and he still doesn't have a driver's license at this point uh he's
00:59:29
arrested in the car he was pulled over and was searched it was observed that the passenger side window was broken out
00:59:35
and a military style bag was lying on the front seat inspection of the contents revealed an ak-15 rifle loaded
00:59:45
with a 27 round magazine gas mask military style equipment belt camouflage shirt eye protection goggles a large 9in
00:59:55
fixed blade another knife and a helmet the affidavit so this is an arrest warrant affidavit that was
01:00:02
obtained by the timeline podcast which is a was an eight part series all based around the missing Cassie Compton case
01:00:13
and this is put together by that Kayla laferty from KATV so she spent extensive amount of
01:00:20
time working on this case and researching this case she gets her hands on this arrest AV avit for Brandon rhs
01:00:30
and the affidavit states that the gun and tactical gear had been reported stolen from a house that Brandon was
01:00:35
staying at at the time and in Brandon's wallet was found a piece of paper with names numbers and odd statements on it
01:00:43
Brandon was interviewed after the arrest he allegedly said that he had been paid
01:00:47
200 bucks by a man to follow that man's wife and kill her the affidavit says quote he stated he chose to pose as a
01:00:54
Hitman because he knew it would get him back into prison for a long time and not
01:00:59
hurt anyone so later he says he you know he made all this up because he he he wanted to spend a good amount of time in
01:01:08
prison yeah and one of his claims is so he can work his missing you know girlfriend's daughter
01:01:17
case from the inside of the prisons yeah which is funny too because he also later
01:01:23
would say oh I posed as a Hitman to get this long prison sentence but really what I was
01:01:29
doing I was going after the people that took Cassie right so this is we can keep going down
01:01:37
this Rabbit Hole of Brandon rhods but what what I keep seeing here I don't know if it's a combination of his of the
01:01:45
drugs methampetamine will [ __ ] you up and your life yeah make no mistake about
01:01:50
it and unfortunately it's one of those drugs that a one-time use could be that could be forever so don't don't even
01:01:59
experiment this is not this is not marijuana where you can experiment and see if you like it or not this will ruin
01:02:06
you and I don't know if it ruined Brandon or if it's a combination of his brain his heart his soul and the drugs
01:02:12
or what but to continue down the Brandon roads Road it's a long trip to Crazy Town with this guy I short trip well
01:02:24
it's a short trip for it's a long trip for us because there's many stops and it veers off in many different directions I
01:02:31
can't make heads or tals of this dude because I don't think he can make heads or tales of the world I really want to
01:02:36
know what the conflict was when she got home and that's something that her mom would probably know if she wasn't passed
01:02:44
out at the time yeah the other statement too that really disturbs me among many statements that are disturbing in this
01:02:53
case it's from the arrest Aid avit from the the arrest warrant affidavit right so this is taken to be like a sworn
01:03:03
statement from Brandon rhods himself the affidavit says quote he stated he chose
01:03:10
to pose as a Hitman because he knew it would get him back to prison for a long time and not hurt anyone you have to be
01:03:21
severely unstable or have severe violent thought to pretend to have committed crimes or
01:03:29
an attempt to commit crimes that you really weren't attempting to do because you think that the best place for you is
01:03:37
to be locked up so you don't hurt anyone was that a an ability he didn't possess
01:03:44
at other times in his life leading up to that event well we'll hear from ex partners of him that he was controlling
01:03:53
and he had a short temper and and that he also had a rough childhood abusive childhood that is not to dismiss
01:04:04
anything that we think he did or was capable of doing but that kind of puts some perspective to all this again was
01:04:14
there a conflict he lost his temper did something disposed of her body but also people have stated that he was very
01:04:23
controlling and had to have the information of their cell phones or information from their social media so
01:04:30
again that would put in to play this idea that this individual was capable of sending messages to
01:04:39
people um pretending to be something he wasn't I guess at one point he was making calls to
01:04:47
this lady that he was tracking and stalking and made calls and pretended to be a woman and we have later on in in
01:04:57
the case where somebody contacted Cassie's mother and pretended to be Cassie and so then one could question
01:05:08
was this individual Brandon did Brandon call her up and pretend to be Cassie is that the same story of the 13-year-old
01:05:16
boy because there was a 13-year-old boy that was using a cell phone that on multiple occasions called pretending to
01:05:22
be Cassie and they they were able to figure out yeah they figured out it was the the teenage boy I'm just saying he
01:05:31
was he was actually arrested and charged right and but I'm just saying this puts
01:05:38
this still puts Brandon in the realm of possibilities of using Cassie's cell phone using Cassie's Facebook what who
01:05:47
else was he contacting and pretending possibly to be somebody else I'm just saying he has the
01:05:55
capability of it because we know he's done it in the past there there are we we we've been circling like vultures
01:06:02
around Brandon brhs and we should be clear here there are other possibilities in this case while he looks to be
01:06:11
a a character that nobody wants to invite over to Thanksgiving dinner uh let alone live with under the same roof
01:06:18
going to have him come over to my house I'm not going to make him some pancakes um there are other possib ities here I
01:06:26
mean he looks like Prime Suspect number one I believe the police have never well she didn't run away well and
01:06:34
the believe that the thing here is I I couldn't find any information that anybody had been cleared per police
01:06:41
saying that to the media I but I also couldn't find any information stating that Brandon was Prime Suspect number
01:06:48
one uh the other there are some other possibilities here we there's an individual named Dustin that we didn't
01:06:55
talk about a whole lot that that did have some interaction with Cassie he was he was an
01:07:00
older boy um he the the ages depending on what source you go to vary for this young man but at the time he would have
01:07:09
been in his 20s I couldn't find anything to say that he was younger than the age
01:07:12
of 20 but we have zero actual evidence that Dustin did anything to Cassie at all or that they even had a relationship
01:07:20
even though there were a couple locals that said that that they may these two may have had a relationship
01:07:26
of course um maybe Hunter's been rolled out I've not seen that but the the other
01:07:32
things that we should probably touch on here too is well as much as you look at Brandon and you go this guy's a piece of
01:07:41
[ __ ] right and you think okay he's going to slip up and we're going to we got him but what
01:07:50
happens in this case and probably good to keep this case in the spotlight and keep people talking about this
01:07:56
case is we have an individual that pops up in a Tik Tok video that kind of looks
01:08:01
like Cassie and people start thinking well this might be Cassie and so you can point the finger all day long at Brandon
01:08:10
but if Cassie is still alive then obviously he didn't kill her yeah and you know Tina stores the private
01:08:19
investigator that we've referenced a few times she's brought up the fact that Cassie would often walk to the local
01:08:24
Walmart she said that this area that she would be walking through she considered it to
01:08:30
be unsafe we mentioned abandoned holes earlier that she's saying there's abandoned homes on this route there's
01:08:37
squatters at times in these homes uh there are drug dealers or users using these homes on occasion I I kind of
01:08:47
think that if it was an unknown killer unless they wanted abduction was the number one goal that we would have found
01:08:53
her right by now now trafficking is certainly a possibility in this situation we have uh police chief Duke
01:09:02
who maintains that as part of the investigation human trafficking experts were consulted Tina stores believes it's
01:09:10
possible her she has a background in working human trafficking cases she says that she parsed through Cassie's social
01:09:17
media and through tips that came in that and she states that there were men and boys unknown to Cassie's mother
01:09:25
that were posting sexual comments about Cassie on social media uh whether those are true or not we don't know Tina
01:09:32
reported that she saw these posts and messages and in one of them Cassie said uh replying to these men don't worry
01:09:40
about me I'm working this side of town and we don't get any follow-up information as to what that exactly
01:09:48
means I don't think that the I don't think that Tina stores knows exactly what that statement means well and back
01:09:55
to this girl on the Tik Tok video so this is this blows up and this is shared by many social media creators or content
01:10:08
creators whatever you want to call them eventually this goes to the FBI the FBI is able to make
01:10:15
contact with this individual and she ends up making videos on her own social media to say hey I am not Cassie
01:10:26
Compton and and and then she explains who she is and that she's okay because in the video she was in the backseat of
01:10:35
a car with two men and she had black eyes well she had black eyes because she was robbed and she came out and said
01:10:44
everything was okay and then she even said that she's contacting FBI to let FBI know hey I'm not Cassie and and I'm
01:10:53
going to prove to you I'm not Cassie and Al I'm going to prove to you I'm okay so
01:10:58
everything as far as that story checks out but what a weird twist in this story to go hey something happened to this
01:11:08
15-year-old girl we don't know what happened and then years later we think that we see this girl on social media
01:11:17
yeah and the other possibility which doesn't seem highly probable but has to be considered here accidental death you
01:11:25
know Cassie could have died from some kind of accident or an overdose maybe the people she's with panic they hide
01:11:32
the body so I bring that up because one of the the search and rescue Personnel from
01:11:39
the Halos investigations we talked about a couple searches remember the they're stating that
01:11:47
Cassie's phone pinged in that Casco area in Casco and so that's why they were searching there and it's been brought up
01:11:56
up that perhaps she went to a party there and something happened in fact this same Halo person
01:12:04
told the timeline podcast that he got a tip to the effect that Cassie was at a party and somehow got killed and was
01:12:11
buried on private property the tip was a text from a woman that said Cassie had been accidentally run over and buried
01:12:20
behind an abandoned house a guy who lives in the stuck guard Apartments was allegedly involved now remember that's
01:12:28
the apartment complex that we know she was uh that she would frequent he indicated that he knew where she was
01:12:35
buried behind this old abandoned home and another tip comes in that it's somewhat similar but indicated that
01:12:42
Cassie had died and was put in a barrel in a creek all of these tips were passed
01:12:46
along to the police and truly you got to believe they were followed up on and really who who knows whether any of
01:12:55
these tips contain even a kernel of the truth right and again I just want to point out that this parental figure
01:13:06
Brandon rhods was known to pretend to be somebody he wasn't whether that's male or female so are there tips out there
01:13:17
are there false leads that he has created who knows I mean this guy is a a pile of [ __ ] and if I had to bet money
01:13:28
he's responsible for why Cassie Compton's missing but he he is a riddle Cassie Compton has been missing for 10
