Barbara Sue Laster was 38 when she was last seen at a residence in the 6600 block of Harmony Grove Road in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, on December 8, 2002. She was described as a white female with brown hair and blue eyes, about 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 140 to 150 pounds, with a mole on her right upper lip, a scar on her right knee, and a tattoo of the letter L on her right shoulder. When last seen she reportedly wore a gray T-shirt and green sweatpants.

Barbara’s family says she struggled with drug use and her daughter believed she may have been under the influence the day she disappeared. Because Barbara had a history of leaving without notice, the family did not report her missing until January 2003, creating a monthlong gap in the timeline. A possible sighting at a Nashville truck stop on January 12, 2003, was never confirmed. Investigators with the Kentucky State Police have considered a theory that she may have overdosed and that friends could have concealed a body, including burying one in a well, but the case remains unsolved and her whereabouts unknown.

Did anyone in Hopkinsville or Nashville have contact with Barbara around December 2002–January 2003 or recall seeing her clothing or vehicle at that time?
