Barbara Ann Larkin was 40 and five months pregnant when she was last seen in San Bernardino on March 3, 2001. She worked as supervisor of administration staff at Riverside Community Hospital and was known for punctuality and a strict routine; coworkers said it was highly uncharacteristic that she didn’t show up for work. A friend and former coworker reported her missing.

Investigators found her apartment undisturbed, with personal belongings and recently bought baby clothes left in place, and no sign of forced entry or a struggle. Family and friends stressed she would not have willingly abandoned her three cats. Attention focused on the father of the unborn child, Derrick Latimer, who lived in the same condominium complex and was reportedly unhappy about the pregnancy. Police interviewed Latimer, noted he was a registered sex offender with a 1993 rape conviction, and could not verify his alibi; searches of his home and vehicle reportedly produced no incriminating evidence.

The disappearance is being investigated as a homicide and foul play is suspected, but the case remains unsolved. Did anyone who knew Barbara or lived near that complex in March 2001 see anything that might help investigators?
