Details of Disappearance:
On May 31, 1984, a woman named Barber left work very drunk. She took a cab with a friend from a club in Gulfport, Mississippi. At a Holiday Inn, her friend left her passed out in the cab. The cab driver didn’t know what to do, so he asked the friend, who told him to do whatever he wanted. Barber woke up confused, said she wanted to be with her baby, and walked off toward the beach. The cabbie later found her purse and gave it to the police. Barber has never been seen again.

Before disappearing, she’d been in California with a man wanted by the FBI. They came to Mississippi for her daughter’s birthday, and she got a job and stayed. No one knows for sure what happened to her. The case is still unsolved.
