Barbara Lynn Phillips was 32 when she vanished in Detroit in April 1989. She was last seen by family on April 7, described as having sandy-colored hair past her shoulders, bright blue eyes, a tiger tattoo on her left hand, and standing between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 4 inches, weighing 110 to 120 pounds.

Family members reported seeing her get into an ambulance with her boyfriend near 2nd Street and Peterboro Street in Detroit. Why they entered the ambulance, where it was headed, and the identity of the boyfriend have not been publicly clarified, leaving a gap in the timeline. The Detroit Police Department is the investigating agency and the case is listed in NamUs.

If anyone saw Barbara or remembers the ambulance or the location on April 7, 1989, that information could help fill the unanswered questions in this cold case.
