Barbara Barbie Lisa Stewart, 56, was last seen at the Cherokee Travel Plaza in Roland, Oklahoma on August 4, 2017. A longtime Arkansas resident with a heart condition and memory issues, she was described as a white female with blonde or white hair, blue eyes, and a height between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 9 inches.

Some of Stewart’s personal items and clothing were later found in a dumpster behind the Rainbow Car Wash in Alma, Arkansas, about 21 miles from the travel plaza. She was believed to have been wearing a faded teal t-shirt with a black cross design, black knit leggings, and black ankle socks; reports say she may have been wearing black sneakers with Dr. Scholl’s inserts or dark green and brown calf-high boots.

Distinctive scars and numerous tattoos were noted by family: a face with an anchor on her right forearm, two connected hearts between her right thumb and index finger, a sun on her left wrist, a black cross on her left forearm, a banner with her children’s names on her upper left arm, a butterfly with a smiley face on her buttock, and two small black dots on her neck. The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office and the Alma Police Department are handling the investigation. Does anyone who knew Barbara or saw her in August 2017 have information to share?
