Barbara Ann Sterbinsky was 31 when she was last seen in Auburn, Washington, on November 15, 1990. She is described as 5 feet 1 inch, about 100 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Investigators classified her as an endangered missing person from the start.

Her disappearance is marked by several striking details: Barbara left behind her purse, clothing, food stamps and a welfare check, belongings that suggest she did not plan to leave. There has been no communication from her since that November day, and the Auburn Police Department reports few substantial leads and limited public details about what happened.

The case remains defined by the absence of information and unanswered questions about her whereabouts. If anyone knew Barbara, saw her around Auburn in mid-November 1990, or has information that could help, please share what you remember.
