Barbara Ann Scott was 29 when she became one of the known victims of Roger Reece Kibbe, the so-called I-5 Strangler. Her murder occurred in 1986 and was later tied to Kibbe as part of a string of killings across several California counties that targeted young women. Kibbe’s pattern reportedly involved approaching women who were experiencing car trouble along Interstate 5, then abducting and strangling them.

Investigators initially had difficulty linking the cases because of limited evidence, but later forensic advances and witness testimony helped connect Scott’s death to the broader series. Prosecutors pursued charges across multiple jurisdictions, and Kibbe ultimately pleaded guilty to six murders, including Scott’s, receiving six consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole.

Does anyone have recollections of the 1986 investigation or information that could shed more light on Barbara Ann Scott’s last movements?
