Barbara Ann Waldron, a 56-year-old social worker, vanished from the Portland, Oregon area after a meeting with her husband on May 17, 2002. She had recently moved out of the couple’s home on Northwest Lambert Road and was staying with a friend in Beaverton. That morning she arranged to meet her husband, David Charles Waldron, at their former residence to discuss finances and was due to meet her business partner later that afternoon but never arrived.

Investigators found Barbara’s burgundy 1998 Chrysler Sebring convertible parked at the house and her purse, with car keys and ID, hidden behind books on a bookcase. Trace amounts of blood were found on a bedroom pillow. David initially denied having the keys and said she left with a friend; one of his sons said he saw David driving Barbara’s car the day after she disappeared. David was missing to police for three days and later found at a motel with cuts to his legs and stomach.

David Waldron was indicted in May 2004 and in May 2005 pleaded no contest to second-degree manslaughter; he was sentenced to over six years and released in 2010. Barbara’s body has never been found and the case remains classified as an endangered missing person matter with foul play suspected.

Does anyone have information about Barbara’s movements on May 17, 2002, or about the car being seen after that date?
