According to True Crime Daily, Daniel Pompell was Sylena’s former boyfriend. The couple reportedly had a tumultuous relationship and one of Sylena’s friends, Jenifer Parker, has gone on to say that Sylena was deeply afraid of him. The relationship worsened when she discovered she was pregnant. The Charley Project reports that at the time of the crime, Sylena was pursuing child support and a paternity test from Pompell. When questioned by the police, he admitted that he had gone to Sylena’s apartment around 9 a.m. Pompell said he left when no one answered the door.

Despite this revelation, he has never been a suspect or person of interest in the case. He has expressed hope that they find Allyson and has stated that he was not romantically involved with Sylena. As Pompell later put it, “I did not kill her. I have no idea what happened to her. I was her friend and we had a good time together.”
Sylena’s mother later filed a wrongful death suit against Pompell (via Forensics Colleges) but the case was dismissed due to insufficient proof. Nonetheless, Parker has stated that everyone including herself believes that Pompell is guilty.
