Patricia Renée Barry Baeuerlen was 40 when she disappeared from Tucson on a Monday in early December 1992 after leaving for lunch and failing to return to work. A stolen 1987 Ford Taurus linked her disappearance to Mesa, where police pursued and stopped the car; the driver, 24-year-old Kevin Artice Miles, crashed and was arrested with some of Patricia’s personal effects in the vehicle. Miles was charged with first-degree murder.

Investigators identified two teens from Tucson, both 16, Levi Jaimes Jackson and Ray A. Hernandez, as additional suspects. Authorities say Patricia was carjacked at gunpoint, driven southeast of Tucson into the desert, forced from her vehicle, taunted and then shot in the chest while pleading for her life. Charges reported included first-degree murder, kidnapping, attempted sexual assault and theft. One suspect was described as laughing while recounting the events and the group later drove Patricia’s car to Phoenix.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who recall Patricia that week or anyone who remembers seeing that 1987 Ford Taurus?
