On January 30, 1985, Barbara Sue Frame came home from work and started supper. She was abruptly called away for a meeting with the attorney to finalize estate papers. She told her three children she would return shortly to finish supper. She took her purse and drove away. Her car was found the next day around her place of employment, but she was no where to be found. The appointment was later determined to be fake.
After four years in an abusive marriage, her divorce had recently been finalized. Some believe her husband is responsible for her disappearance.
