Teresa Lanette Barnett, 30, was last seen the morning of August 7, 1987, in Marshall, Texas. Her husband dropped her at the Eckerd Pharmacy parking lot on Highway 59 about 10:30 a.m. Her vehicle was later found unlocked and abandoned in that same lot, which prompted immediate concern.

A few days after she disappeared Teresa’s purse was found on the side of the road about three miles away at the intersection of South Washington and Lakeview Drive. There were no signs of a struggle where the purse was located, but foul play is strongly suspected. Teresa was described as having blonde hair, blue eyes, wearing glasses, and standing about 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 5 inches, weighing roughly 105 pounds.

No substantial leads have emerged and the case remains unsolved after more than three decades. Anyone with information on Teresa’s disappearance is asked to contact local law enforcement.
