In June 2007, 36-year-old Kimberly Compton Whitton and her 11-year-old daughter Haleigh Culwell vanished from their secluded log cabin on a forty-acre property in Section, Alabama. The last known contact with Kimberly was a brief phone call on June 21, 2007, after she left work at Cloverdale Manor Nursing Home in Scottsboro; the call was cut off and she never returned the promised follow-up call. Coworkers reported her missing on June 28, 2007.

Kimberly lived there with her husband of eight years, Barry Van Whitton. Barry told investigators the two had left in a white Ford van or truck with Alabama plates and that he had given Kimberly $20,000 in cash; he suggested they might have been headed to Montana. Friends and family said that behavior would have been out of character for Kimberly, a dedicated nurse who had not missed work without notice.

Barry, who had a prior felony conviction for receiving stolen property, was later arrested on federal weapons charges after firearms were found on the property; witnesses later said he bragged about killing people and discussed body disposal. He was convicted in 2015 for the 1997 killing of his first wife, Michelle Townson Whitton. Investigators did find blood in one of Barry’s pickup trucks and on a hatchet handle, but Barry has not been charged in Kimberly and Haleigh’s disappearance and both remain missing.

Does anyone have information about Kimberly’s last known movements, the white Ford vehicle, or Haleigh’s whereabouts?
