Barbara Ann Byer was 14 when she was abducted and murdered on May 20, 1983, in Brevard County, Florida. She and another 14-year-old, Angelica LaVallee, were hitchhiking on Interstate 95 when they were picked up by David Alan Gore and his cousin Fred Waterfield. The two men tied the girls at gunpoint, took them to a secluded location, and subjected them to violent assault before both girls were killed.

The murders of Barbara and Angelica were among a string of six killings attributed to Gore and Waterfield between 1981 and 1983. David Alan Gore was arrested in July 1983, later confessed to the murders, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Fred Waterfield was convicted for his role and is serving two consecutive life sentences.

If anyone knew Barbara, Angelica, their movements that day, or saw anything along Interstate 95 in Brevard County on May 20, 1983, please share what you remember.
