In the winter of 1983, 56-year-old Dixie Barker vanished from her trailer in the 3400 block of South 29th Street in Ashland, Kentucky. She was last seen the morning of February 8 when her son, who shared the trailer and worked for the city sanitation department, saw her before leaving for work. When he returned she was gone; her clothing, purse and other personal effects were left inside the trailer.

Neighbors in the roughly 60-home trailer park reported no sightings of her leaving, and investigators found no evidence she departed voluntarily. Dixie was known for very long painted fingernails, frequently wore wigs and used the handle Baby Blue on CB radio. At the time she disappeared she was believed to be wearing a blue shirt, a jacket, blue jeans and loafers, and had an appendectomy scar on her abdomen plus a scar on her upper leg near the hip.

Police have had several suspects or persons of interest over the years but no arrests due to insufficient evidence; the case remains unsolved. Did anyone in Ashland in 1983 ever hear Dixie on CB radio or remember seeing her the morning of February 8?
