Lyrian Wyvonne Barry-Stallings was a young Black mother last publicly linked to a move toward St. Louis in the summer of 1960. Listed by The Charley Project as 23 and about 5 feet tall and 150 pounds, she had roots in Columbus, Mississippi, where she graduated from R.E. Hunt High School in 1956, later lived in New Orleans with Eulice Eddie Stallings, and returned to Columbus with an infant daughter, Gloria.

Louis on June 1, 1960, while others place her disappearance in St. Louis that same date. Her aunt said Lyrian arrived in St. Louis briefly and may have left for a live-in maid position in Needham, Massachusetts, or Bridgeport, Connecticut, but there is no confirmed trace after that. No Social Security use has been found and the case remains open with Columbus police and NamUs MP57576.

Does anyone have memories of Lyrian, Gloria, or leads from St. Louis, Needham, or Bridgeport in 1960?
