Update: Russell Wayne Layne was arrested on November 27th 2024 for the Murder of Emma Jean Compton-Layne.
This entry is a collaboration with The Aware Foundation. Please Check them out. Kenny Jarels and Shelia Perkins are two of my close friends. I dedicated My Girl by The Temptations to this entry as it was probably the most popular song of the year when Emma was born.

The Disappearance & Murder Of
Emma Jean Compton-Layne
The Disappearance of James Davis Walker
I wrote this entry after being introduced to Slim's son Bobby Walker who still lives with the pain of his father's disappearance every day. The pain is shared with the rest of Slim's family who haven't had any answers in the long 24 years it's been since they last saw James Davis Walker. There is a Facebook Group started by Evaporate The Missing for James' case. They also did an entry on their site as well. Ed Dentzel from UnFound also covered the case. I also wanna point out that the reports to who went where on the day in question are all over the place depending upon the source being used. I dedicated Smooth by Santana to this entry. Maria Maria was the Number One song at the time. But I never really liked it as much as Smooth. Before I begin I wanna thank Slim's son Bobby Walker for letting me tell his father's story. When you hear Bobby talk about his dad. You hear the pain in his voice. You can even hear it in text messages. He lives with this every day. As well as his family. And it's not fair. I did discuss my analysis with him before publishing this entry. I tend to view cases differently from others who do the same work. And I definitely see this case differently. Here we go.
