In June of 2007, 11 year old Haleigh Breann Culwell and her mother, 36 year old Kimberly Whitton were living in an isolated log cabin in rural northern Alabama with Kimberly’s husband of 8 years, Barry Whitton, when mother and daughter suddenly disappeared.
According to Barry, he last saw Haleigh and Kimberly when they left their residence on June 21st, 2007 and left in a white van, taking $20,000 dollars of the couple’s money with them.
Suspicion would quickly fall on Barry not only because he was the last one to see them, but also because a similarly tragic fate had befallen Barry’s previous wife years early.
Did Haleigh and Kimberly willingly drive off in a van to vanish forever? Or is their husband and stepfather Barry actually behind their mysterious disappearance? And if so, was this actually the first time that Barry had made a wife disappear?
This is a Small Foreign Fact Check. In today’s episode we’ll be looking into the disappearance of Kimberly Whitton and Haleigh Breann Culwell.
