Two brothers who asked for donations to support their future following their father’s death in 2021 were arrested, along with their mother, last week in connection with their father’s murder.
Three family members were arrested Wednesday in connection with the stabbing death of David Rainey, whose body was found submerged in a canal in Suwannee, FL where the family was vacationing at the time, the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office said Friday.
Rainey’s wife, Cindy, reported her husband of 21 years missing on the morning of July 25, 2021, and said he did not return to the rental home they were staying in after going out the night before, according to the sheriff.
She told deputies that she and her husband had argued the previous evening and she walked out of the vacation rental without her glasses, purse or phone.
Following an “extensive search of the area,” sheriff’s deputies found Rainey’s body in a canal behind the rental’s backyard the same day she was reported missing, the Dixie County Sheriff said.
Rainey, 52, had multiple stab wounds to the chest and was dumped in the waterway following his death, according to the sheriff.

Her death was ruled a homicide and the case stalled, without an arrest, for more than two years — until last week.
Cindy Rainey, along with the couple’s sons Bailey Railey and Jack Railey were each arrested and charged with tampering with evidence on Oct. 25.
Cindy and Bailey were arrested in Bunnell and Jack was arrested in Orlando by deputies who traveled to each city. All three are being held without bond.
The sheriff has not revealed whether any of the three are suspects in Rainey’s stabbing and murder.

News of the family member’s arrest comes after the family launched a GoFundMe campaign asking for donations for the future of Rainey’s two sons in lieu of flowers shortly after his murder. The campaign raised $475 from six donors.
Rainey’s obituary stated only that he “died unexpectedly.”
The father was born in California but was living with his family in Palm Coast, FL at the time of his death. He worked as a welder and mechanic for Ethos Energy and traveled throughout the US and the world for his work, according to his obituary.
The family of four and a family friend had rented a house in Suwannee for a vacation when Rainey was killed.
