Columbia Police Search for Missing Woman, Anne Compas, 45
In the bustling city of Columbia, concern is growing as police actively search for a missing woman, Anne Compas. The 45-year-old was reported missing earlier this week by a worried family member who hasn’t been able to connect with her since she left her home on Drake Grove Lane to run a quick errand.
Last Seen in Northwest Columbia
Anne was last spotted in the northwest section of Columbia, specifically near the intersection of Broad River Road and Piney Grove Road. Authorities have reported that Anne is about 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs around 142 pounds. The police have heightened their search efforts due to a critical detail: Anne requires daily medication, which has raised alarms about her well-being.
Community Urged to Help

Kiara Ellison, a 24-year-old woman who had been reported missing, has since been located and is in good health. Kiara was last seen off Fairlamb Avenue in the Woodfield community of Columbia.
Details Surrounding Kiara’s Disappearance
