Cassie Compton ////// 786Part 1 of 1 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Cassie Kay Compton went missing 10 years ago from the town of Stuttgart, Arkansas. Today she would be 25 years old.

A young man covered in blood ran up to the responding Sheriff’s deputy saying “They shot them all, they shot them all.” The savage brutality of these murders is shocking.
