Lees Summit, MO: Woman arrested after cutting off Tinder date’s testicles and using them for fishing bait

A 37-year old Lees Summit, Missouri woman is in police custody after she inflicted a brutal assault on a 43-year old local man who she had met through the Tinder dating app.

According to reports by local media, the woman had matched with the victim earlier in the week after complimenting him on a picture of him during a fishing trip holding a large bass. The woman allegedly told him she was a keen angler and wanted to join him for a fishing trip.

The man agreed and the pair went out on a fishing trip yesterday afternoon at Blue Springs Lake. However, the woman allegedly knocked the man unconscious with a fire extinguisher before taking a bait knife to his groin.

“It is alleged that the woman severed the man’s testicles before attaching them to her hooks and casting off into the lake,” said one investigator. The testicles proved popular bait with the woman soon catching several large fish.

Upon arrival back at the marina another fishing vessel saw the man lying unconscious at the bottom of the boat and raised the alarm. The woman was apprehended a short time later.

There’s been no indication of what motivated the woman’s heinous crime, but a family member says she has a history of substance abuse. “Lately she’s been on the bath salts which may have had an influence on this episode.”
