Barbara Choc-Chum was 16 when she ran away from her foster home in Kirkland, Washington and was last seen on June 18, 2018. A recent arrival from Guatemala, she spoke a Guatemalan dialect rather than mainstream Spanish and had limited English, which complicated early search efforts and public appeals.

At the time she disappeared she wore a black long-sleeved shirt, denim blue jeans and black Under Armour tennis shoes. She had an ORCA bus card, valid across most Seattle-area transit, and was believed to have been with an unknown male she had met on Facebook when she left the foster home.

Her case is listed with the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System and the Kirkland Police Department is the investigating agency. Few public updates have been reported since her disappearance. If anyone knew Barbara, saw her after June 18, 2018, or has information about the man she may have been with, please come forward.
