Suspected Missouri dog-collar kidnapping rapist may have more victims

foxnews.com:

The Missouri man accused of holding a woman hostage in his basement for a month until she escaped and begged neighbors for help wearing "latex lingerie" and a padlocked metal dog collar is under investigation for more potential crimes, according to authorities.

Police arrested 39-year-old Timothy Marrion Haslett Jr. of Excelsior Springs last week on charges of first-degree rape or attempted rape, first-degree kidnapping and second-degree assault after allegedly holding a woman in a dungeon-like chamber in his basement for weeks.

He was arraigned Tuesday. "We are actively investigating this as a kidnapping and rape case and as we do, we will look for evidence of any and all additional crimes," Excelsior Springs Police Chief Gregory Dull told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. "Numerous items have been recovered from the residence and the process of examining and evaluating those items is underway.

Since this is still an active investigation, we do not have any further information that we can provide." As investigators continue to dig into the circumstances, they are publicly knocking down rumors and "gossip." Timothy M.
