According to Independence County Sheriff Shawn Stephens, a failure to appear warrant has been issued for 60-year-old Lonnie Keith Cavaness after he missed his last court appearance on Nov. 23.

Since that time, no one has been able to find Cavaness, although rumors have made their way to the sheriff’s department that Cavaness actually passed away recently. Sheriff Stephens told Region 8 News, they’ve heard the same rumor, but said: “I don’t have any idea.”

The child’s parent reported a “change in the female juvenile” and the child’s younger brother since January.

During an interview at the Child Safety Center, according to the probable cause affidavit, the female victim reported the suspect, identified as 60-year-old Lonnie Keith Cavaness, penetrated her in various ways too graphic to report here.

The child reportedly told Detective Sergeant Zach Rawlins “the sexual acts hurt her.”

She also claimed Cavaness had a “doll” in his closet. According to the affidavit, she said Cavaness made her play with the doll “while he engaged in sexual intercourse with the doll.”

Detectives then went to Cavaness’s home in Pleasant Plains where they reported finding a female blow-up doll with a pump during a search.

Lonnie Keith Cavaness was never sentenced because he died before his trial. [1]
  • The Charges: In August 2020, the 60-year-old resident of Pleasant Plains, Arkansas, was arrested and charged with five counts of rape of a minor and one count of second-degree battery. He was held in the Independence County jail on a $500,000 bond.
  • Medical Release: Due to a severe pre-existing medical condition, he was later released from jail to a local hospital for treatment.
  • Death: On November 20, 2020, Cavaness died as a result of his medical condition.
  • Case Resolution: Because he passed away before his scheduled court date on November 23, 2020, the criminal case against him was effectively closed, and no sentencing ever took place.
