Case narrative
Source text · highlightedCassandra Rhines was 19 when she went missing in June 1985. Investigators believe Rhines may have been involved in prostitution and may have worked as an exotic dancer. On May 6, 2014, an off-duty Lake County Sheriff’s Office employee discovered skeletal remains in a rarely-traveled part of Gooseberry Falls State Park. Examinations of the remains by the St. Louis County Medical Examiner’s Office and a forensic anthropologist determined that the individual died of homicide. In August 2014, she was identified through family member DNA as Cassandra Rhines of Minneapolis. Rhines lived in a multi- unit apartment complex at 2700 Grand Ave. South near Whittier Park in Minneapolis.
