Louis Eugene Barbero, 51, vanished from Baxley, Georgia, in August 1975. Known in the community as Anthony Robert Bob Morino, he stopped at a laundromat to see his wife that day and told her he was heading out on a service call and would be home for dinner. He never returned and has not been seen or heard from since.

All funds in the couple’s shared bank account were later withdrawn, a fact that has prompted speculation he might have left voluntarily to start a new life. He was of Italian descent, had brown hair balding on top, brown eyes, a longish nose, sometimes wore black-rimmed glasses, and was believed to have been driving a white station wagon when he disappeared. The Appling County Sheriff’s Office has kept the case open, but few contemporaneous details are available and the trail has gone cold.

If anyone knew Louis Barbero, where he worked, or saw a white station wagon in Baxley that August, please share what is known.
