Cassie Compton was 15 when she vanished from Stuttgart, Arkansas, in the evening of September 14, 2014. She had spent the day at a local demolition derby and was dropped off at the home she shared with her mother, Judy Compton Kimsey, and the mother’s fiancé, Brandon Rhodes, at about 6:00 p.m. Accounts differ about what happened next: one version says Cassie was home only a few minutes before leaving again for a store; another says she texted that she was going out for a smoke around the same time Rhodes left the house. She was last seen wearing a blue spaghetti-strap top, blue and white plaid shorts, and blue and gray cowgirl boots with a two- to three-inch heel, and had a heart-shaped birthmark on her upper left arm and a scar on the left side of her face near her nose.

Because she had a history of running away, an Amber Alert was not issued and early search efforts were limited. Investigators questioned people close to Cassie and identified conflicting stories and tension between Cassie and Rhodes as focal points of the probe. Police and state investigators later used cell-phone pings and conducted area searches but have found no trace of her.

If anyone knew Cassie, her activities that night, or saw her after she left the house, please come forward with information.
