Daniel Pompell arrested in 1998 murder of Sylena Dalton, whose infant daughter remains missing.
Daniel Edward Pompell, 56, of Culpeper, Virginia, has been arrested in connection with the 1998 murder of 20-year-old Sylena Jo Dalton, whose body was found stabbed in her Strasburg apartment.
Pompell is believed to be the father of Dalton’s 10-week-old daughter, Allyson Kathleen Dalton, who vanished the same day and has never been found.
The arrest, made after 27 years of investigation, followed collaborative efforts by Virginia State Police, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and other agencies, with support from the Virginia Sexual Assault Kit Initiative.
Pompell is being held without bond and has remained cooperative.
Authorities say the case has advanced through forensic analysis and investigative work, and they continue to seek justice for the victim and her family.
