Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office Seeks Public Help Locating Most Wanted Suspect in Idaho
Twin Falls County Sheriff Seeks Tips on Wanted Female Suspect
The Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help locating a wanted woman as part of its ongoing Most Wanted program, according to information published by the Times-News on April 18, 2026.
The suspect, Kassandra Ranay Meads, also known as “aka Kassy Meads,” is a 31-year-old female described as 5 feet 9 inches tall and approximately 140 pounds, with blonde/brown hair and blue eyes. Meads is wanted for violation of conditions of release on the original charges of rape and sexual battery of a minor child. She is currently being sought with no bond set.
The Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone with information about Meads’ whereabouts to contact them directly at 208-735-1911, or to reach out to Crime Stoppers at 208-343-2677, where callers can remain completely anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward. Tips can also be submitted online at 343cops.com or through the P3 Tips mobile application.
Law Enforcement Calls on Community to Help Combat Crime in Magic Valley
The Most Wanted program represents one of the tools Twin Falls County law enforcement uses to engage the public in maintaining community safety across the Magic Valley region. By publicizing the identities and descriptions of individuals who have violated court-ordered conditions or are otherwise sought by authorities, the Sheriff’s Office leverages community awareness as a force multiplier in tracking down suspects who have evaded apprehension.
The charges underlying Meads’ original case — rape and sexual battery of a minor child — represent among the most serious criminal offenses prosecuted in Idaho’s court system. The violation of release conditions on charges of this nature is treated with particular urgency by Twin Falls County law enforcement, given the serious nature of the underlying allegations.
Twin Falls County has seen a consistent focus on public safety in recent months. Local law enforcement agencies have been working to equip deputies and officers with improved resources. A recent grant brought protective gear and safety tools to Twin Falls law enforcement, reflecting the community’s ongoing commitment to officer readiness and public protection.
Residents are reminded that submitting tips through Crime Stoppers allows community members to provide information without revealing their identity — an important option for those who may have knowledge of a suspect’s location but are concerned about personal safety or retaliation. Tipsters determined to have provided information leading to an arrest may qualify for a cash reward through the program.
The anonymity guarantee provided through Crime Stoppers has historically encouraged tips that may not otherwise come forward, playing a meaningful role in helping law enforcement agencies across Idaho resolve open cases and locate wanted individuals.
Twin Falls County has also been dealing with a range of public safety matters in recent weeks. Authorities and emergency responders have remained active across the region, including responding to incidents such as a house fire in Twin Falls that required firefighters to rescue two dogs from a burning structure.
Officials emphasize that anyone who spots Meads should not attempt to approach or detain her, but should instead immediately contact law enforcement through the numbers provided.
What Comes Next
The Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office will continue to publish Most Wanted listings as part of its public safety outreach effort. If Meads is located and taken into custody, she will face legal proceedings related to her alleged violation of court-ordered release conditions in addition to the original charges. Members of the public with relevant information are encouraged to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 208-735-1911 or Crime Stoppers at 208-343-2677 at any time. The Sheriff’s Office updates its Most Wanted listings regularly, and additional suspects may be featured in future releases.
