Columbia Police Need Your Help Finding Missing Woman Anne Compas
In a worrying turn of events, the Columbia Police Department is reaching out to the community for assistance in locating Anne Compas, a 45-year-old woman who was reported missing by her family just earlier this week. Anne was last seen leaving her home on Drake Grove Lane in the northwest area of Columbia to run a simple errand, and since then, her family has been anxiously awaiting her return.
Anne is described to be about 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing around 142 pounds. Authorities have released her physical description in hopes that someone in the community may have seen her. It’s worth noting that Anne has specific medical needs; she requires daily medication, which adds an urgent twist to this search. The Columbia Police are particularly concerned for her well-being due to this necessity.

You can share information by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC or visiting their website at CrimeSC.com.

Recent Case of Kiara Ellison
This search for Anne Compas comes on the heels of another missing person case in the Columbia area. Recently, Kiara Ellison, a 24-year-old woman who had been missing, was found safe. Kiara was reported missing after being seen off Fairlamb Avenue in the Woodfield community of Columbia. Thankfully, she was located in good health, which is a relief for her family and friends.
