Haleigh Breann Culwell was eleven and a fifth-grade student at Macedonia School when she vanished from her family’s secluded property in Section, Alabama, in the summer of 2007. She was last seen with her mother, Kimberly Whitton, who left work at Cloverdale Manor Nursing Home that day to pick up papers and called a friend while driving home; the call cut out and Kimberly never returned the promised call. Their absence was not reported until June 28, a week after they were last seen.

They lived in a log cabin on a forty-acre parcel reachable only on foot because two gates on the driveway were locked. Kimberly’s husband and Haleigh’s stepfather, Barry Van Whitton, told investigators that Kimberly and Haleigh left shortly after Kimberly returned and that he gave Kimberly $20,000 in cash before they drove away in a white Ford van or truck with Alabama plates, possibly toward Montana.

Haleigh had blonde hair and brown eyes; she had worn braces previously but they were removed before she went missing. The cases of Kimberly Whitton and Haleigh Culwell remain classified as endangered missing with foul play suspected. If anyone knew Kimberly or Haleigh, their routines, or the family property around Section, Alabama, can you share information that might help resolve this case?
