Florida man’s wife and two kids arrested in connection to the man’s 2021 murder
On October 28, Florida’s Dixie County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) reported on the macabre tale of a Florida man allegedly being murdered by his own family – one of whom was his wife, the other two being his sons. Those three family members were arrested in connection with the homicide of 54-year-old David Rainey.
Background: On the morning of July 25, 2021, David Rainey was reported missing by his wife, Cindy Rainey, while the couple and their family were vacationing in the Town of Suwannee. Later that evening following an extensive search, investigators with the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office found David Rainey deceased in a canal behind their rented residence. David Rainey had multiple stab wounds to the chest and had been placed in the water after his death. David Rainey’s death was ruled a homicide.
On October 25, 2023 – two years after being found stabbed to death in that canal – three of David Rainey’s family members were arrested in connection to his murder. The Sheriff’s Office didn’t share any details regarding the family’s possible motives for allegedly killing David.
Investigators with the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office traveled to Bunnell, Florida, and arrested Cindy Rainey and Bailey Rainey with the assistance of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators then traveled to Orlando, Florida, and arrested Jack Rainey with the assistance of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
According to David Rainey’s obituary, he was born in Redlands, California, and worked as a welder on steam and gas turbines after graduating from welding school in New York.
At the time of his death, he lived at Palm Coast with his wife of 21 years, Cindy Rainey, and worked as a turbine blader for Ethos Energy. ~ MSN via Meaww
