Jennifer Joyce Barton, 20, was last seen May 16, 1976, in Austin, Texas. She intended to go to the movies with a friend but they stopped at a bar near East 11th Street and Waller Street to try to get money. There, she spoke with two men and was later seen entering a brown or tan van with California license plates; witnesses watched the van drive away and Jennifer was never heard from again.

At the time she disappeared Jennifer was coping with recent trauma, including the murder of her pimp and a break-in at her apartment. Police have long suspected foul play and note her case is one of several Austin women who vanished in 1976, though no definitive links have been established. There were no clear leads reported after her disappearance.

If anyone remembers seeing Jennifer that evening, the brown or tan van, or the two men she spoke with, contact the Austin Police Department with any information.
