Barry Whitton Arrested in the disappearance of Kim Whitton and her daughter, Haleigh Culwell

Kim Whitton and her 11 year old daughter, Haleigh Culwell, have been sinning since June 21, 2007. However, they were not reported missing until June 28, 2007. They were not reported missing by Kim’s husband, Barry Whitton, but rather by one of her co-workers. Today, Barry Whitton was arrested on a separate matter weapons possession charge. So once again a “suspect” who the police refuse to call a suspect is a

Barry Whitton seems to have been arrested on the separate, unrelated charge so to get the real story out of his as to what happened to Kim Whitton and Haleigh Culwell.

Barry Whitton, 38, was charged with a weapons possession count that FBI spokesman Charles Regan of Birmingham is unrelated to the disappearance of his wife and stepdaughter. He previously had been convicted of receiving stolen property in 1988 and 1991, U.S. attorney’s office spokeswoman Jill Ellis said. (FOX)

So not only does Barry Whitton has a murdered previous wife who’s case was never solved or prosecuted, but he fails to ever report his present wife or step daughter missing. Do we really need to look any further?

(Kim Whitton)

Barry Whitton seems to have a history of wives going missing. Barry Whitton’s first wife was a victim of an unsolved homicide. His first wife was eventually found murdered and buried. Whitton told investigators she had left him. I think we are starting to sense a pattern. Making matters even worse, the father of missing Kim Whitton was unaware of Barry Whitton’s past. Whitton had actually lied to his father in law as to how his previous wife died. Its pretty damming when one cannot tell the truth how one’s previous wife died, if they have nothing to hide.

(Haleigh Culwell)

Whitton’s father, Jerry Compton, said Friday that her husband, Barry Whitton, “seems like a pretty nice fellow.” He said he was surprised to learn about the circumstances of the death of Michelle Whitton, Barry Whitton’s previous wife.

“He told me his first wife died from an overdose,” Compton said. “But I found out last night that she was murdered.”

Several weeks after her unexplained disappearance, Michelle Whitton’s body was found partially buried in 1997 on a hillside in the Powell community about 15 miles from their Dutton home. No one was arrested in her death. Authorities said her death was a homicide but never disclosed how she died. (Huntsville Times)

Lisa Stebic has been missing since April 30, 2007. Since Lisa Stebic disappearance, her credit cards and cell phone has not been used. Lisa and her husband, Craig Stebic, were in the process of divorcing when she went missing. Today, police named Craig Stebic a person of interest in his wife’s disappearance.

(Craig and Lisa Stebic)

Plainfield Police Chief Donald Bennett said at a news conference that authorities fear that Lisa Stebic has been a victim of foul play. Police have narrowed the focus of their investigation and “now consider Craig Stebic to be a person of interest in the case,” Bennett said.

The couple were going through a divorce, but they still lived together with their two children in the family’s home in Plainfield, about 35 miles southwest of Chicago.

Bennett said that Stebic has twice refused requests by police and the Will County state’s attorney’s office to let investigators talk to his children about their mother’s disappearance. (Fox News)

On the day that Lisa Stebic disappeared, she mailed off a petition seeking to remove her husband from their home.

In the divorce case, she had accused him of being “unnecessarily relentless, cruel, inconsiderate, domineering and verbally abusive.”

Police planned a massive search effort for Lisa Stebic to find the missing mother of two. The volunteer efforts of so many to help the find Lisa is truly touching.

The huge crowd overwhelmed the organizers, who had been expecting about 200 searchers. The line to register, be assigned a team and receive a sheet outlining what to look for snaked out the door of the pavilion at the Kenedall County Fairground. Some waited in line more than an hour

The clue sheet had a photograph of a purse of the kind Stebic was known to carry. It also mentioned a gray or silver cell phone, navy blue sweatpants, a white t-shirt and a woman’s shoe size 8 ½.

The search of the park, about 20 miles west of Plainfield, was organized by Plainfield police and police from both Will and Kendall counties. A number of professional searchers, including a unit on horseback, was assisting because of the park’s rough terrain. (Chicago Tribune)

Rafters Missing in Texas on Swollen Trinity River due to Flood Rains

The torrential rains and flooding have taken their tole in the Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas areas. They have been responsible for several deaths as well as a missing 26 year old rafter whose raft capsized on the flood swollen Trinity River in Texas.

The sky was mercifully clear over much of Texas on Saturday after three weeks of drenching rain, as search teams combed the swollen Trinity River for a missing rafter.

The death toll from storms that have battered Texas since last month climbed to 15 with the recovery of two other flood victims elsewhere in the state.

The 26-year-old missing man was on a rubber raft that capsized Friday on the Trinity.

“We don’t know if he’s still trapped in that low-head dam or whether he went downstream,” Fort Worth fire department spokesman Kent Worley said.

A companion had to swim about 300 yards against the swift current to safety, but Worley said that man never saw his friend after their raft flipped. Neither men wore a life jacket. (AP)

Search continues for missing rafter in Fort Worth

Divers plotted search efforts Saturday for a missing rafter who capsized on a swollen river in North Texas, where dawn broke with mercifully clear skies after nearly three weeks of drenching rain.

Rescuers resumed combing the Trinity River for the 26-year-old man missing since Friday, when the death toll from storms that have battered Texas since last month climbed to 15 with the recovery of two more flood victims elsewhere. (Houston Chronicle)

Tim Miller & Texas EquuSearch Helping Search for Stepha Henry in Florida

Just in to Missing & Exploited, Tim Miller and Texas EquuSearch is in Florida helping in the search for missing 22 year old Stepha Henry. Stepha Henry is a graduate of criminal justice who has been missing since May 29, 2007 in Fort Lauderdale, FL when she attended a club. Stepha Henry checked her voice mail at 4:13 am but was never seen or heard from again.

According to Tim Miller, founder of Texas Equusearch, they are going to use several resources to aid in Stepha’s search. They will be using side scanner sonar and search the many water areas in the vicinity where she went missing.

Tim Miller also stated that they are trying to locate the vehicle that Stepha Henry was given a ride in to the club. Tim agrees with the police that the car could hold keys to the mystery of missing Stepha Henry.

Where is that Acura Integra? The man who drove it that night says he borrowed it from a friend of a friend. Police think if they can find the car, maybe they’ll get some answers. Is it abandoned somewhere? Or innocently being driven by its owner? Any answer would help. (AMW)

Tim Miller stated that the family of Stepha Miller asked us if we could not help bring their daughter home. Tim stated, “that law enforcement has been extremely cooperative in mapping a plan of action to search for Stepha”. We just want to bring Stepha home to her family, said Tim Miller”.

UPDATE I: Search for Missing Stepha Henry continues with aide of TES

The Henrys have also hired a high-profile search and rescue team, Texas EquuSearch, to help find Stepha. The nonprofit organization conducts searches by foot, water (diving and boats), air (using helicopters and planes), and dog teams (air scent and corpse.)

{{{SM Editors note: The Broward Times in this article stated that the family hired Texas Equusearch. That is not correct. The editors at this news paper need a understand that non-profits are not hired. The family asked for TES’s help, they did not hire them. We will make this correction of the misspoken word, if The Broward Times does not.}}}

EquuSearch director Tim Miller said the group was involved in the recovery of pregnant murder victim Jessie Davis’ body in Ohio. The company also helped in the search for murder victim Kelsey Smith, and for Natalee Holloway, a partying teen who is still listed as missing in Aruba.

“The Henrys contacted us in Texas and we wanted to get involved with the search,” he said. “We’ve brought sonar equipment to search underwater.” (Broward Times)

Decomposed Body Found at the Home of Missing ex-KIRO Radio Talk Show host Mike Webb

Former KIRO radio talk show host Mike Webb has been missing since April, 2007. This afternoon a badly decomposed body was found at Webb’s rental house. According to police the body was so badly decomposed they could not determine sex, age or race.

A severely decomposed body was found this afternoon at the rental home of former KIRO radio talk-show host Mike Webb, who has been missing since April.

A property manager found the body shortly before 3 p.m. at the home in the 2500 block of 3rd Avenue W., according to police. The body was so decomposed that investigators were unable to immediately determine its sex, age or race, said Seattle police spokesman Jeff Kappel. Police wouldn’t say where in the home the body was found. (Seattle Times)

One would naturally ask the question, why wasn’t the house searched if Mike Webb was missing? According to police they were not allowed to enter. Wouldn’t one think that the stench from the home of a decomposing body and the fact that Webb was considered missing would make entering a home legal?

He said officers had previously been to the home as part of that investigation, but could not legally enter.

UPDATE: Radio host Mike Webb stabbed to death

The King County Medical Examiner’s office has confirmed that Mike Webb died of multiple stab wounds sometime after April 13. The death of the liberal radio host now is being investigated as a homicide.

Seattle police crime scene investigators and homicide detectives were combing the house Webb had rented for 14 years in the 2500 block of Third Avenue West.

Assistant Chief Nick Metz, head of the department’s investigations division, said a property manager discovered the badly decomposed body Thursday afternoon.

In the days following his disappearance, Webb’s family members received several text messages from Webb’s cell phone but did not speak with him, according to police documents. (Seattle PI)

Human remains found at Seattle home of missing radio talk show host

Investigators were trying to determine whether the body had been moved to the house, Metz said. Several people – including missing-person investigators and Webb’s family – had been to the house in the months since the liberal radio host vanished.

Officers last examined the home within the past two weeks, police spokesman Jeff Kappel said. It was unclear whether officers entered the home at that time.

Metz declined to divulge details about where the body was found. But he did say that, when those details are publicized, the reasons why the body was not located earlier will be clear.
