  • The Murder of Emma Compton

    The Murder of Emma Compton
    Oct 1 2024
    Emma Compton, a small business owner from Halifax County, Virginia, was found murdered in 2017 after disappearing under mysterious circumstances and after years of domestic violence at the hands of her husband. Seven years later, her family continues to seek justice, as no arrests have been made in the case, and they remain committed to raising awareness and finding answers for her unresolved murder. Research assistance by Anna Luria and Whitney St. Andre. And thank you to Brandie from Evaporate the Missing, who put us in touch with Emma’s sister Shawna. If you have any information in Emma’s case, please call the Halifax County crime line at 434-476-8445. Shawna is thankful for everyone who is listening to this episode. It means the world to her to know that people now know about Emma, and the incredible, incredible human being she was. Shawna said she hopes that “Maybe Emma can save a life or more or can give at least one person a reason to not to go back…to leave & NEVER EVER LOOK BACK.” For more information about domestic violence awareness month including resources for survivors, supporters, and ways to give back, including joining us and Navigating Advocacy Podcast in our Survivor's Bag Drive, check out momsandmysteries.com/dva.
