- Details of Disappearance:
- On October 10, 2002, a woman named Barrington left her job at Desoto Memorial Hospital in Arcadia, Florida, around 6:00 p.m. She disappeared. Someone may have seen her later that evening near a road construction site on Highway 17, but it’s unconfirmed.
The next day, her car was found abandoned and stuck on Highway 17, a few miles from the hospital. Her purse was in the car, but her pager and keys were gone. Her parents reported her missing.
Barrington’s boyfriend, Thomas Jessie Crews Jr., was eventually charged with her murder. They had a violent relationship, with police called to their home many times. Barrington was supposed to testify against him in court on October 11th, the day her car was found.
Police believe Crews killed Barrington on October 10th and hid her body in Hardee County. He was found guilty in 2006 and sentenced to life in prison. Even though Barrington’s body has never been found, investigators are certain she was murdered.
