Barbara Zhan Crane, known as Barbie, was last seen on May 13, 2020, in Willits, California, while living at the Sleepy Time RV Park. Her roommate says she was observed leaving the Safeway parking lot with a man in a Ford F-250 diesel pickup with Montana plates; the man was described as about 35 to 40 years old and appeared to be known to Barbara. She left her dogs behind and a note with instructions for their care, which friends found unusual because she was very attached to them.

Barbara was 48 at the time, often wore dark-colored clothing and had distinctive tattoos. She had a history of short-term disappearances while living on the streets, but had never before been out of contact with family for such an extended period; her daughter reported her missing on July 25, 2020. Authorities have pursued leads but no major breakthroughs are reported.

Did anyone in Willits see a Ford F-250 with Montana plates in May 2020 or know the identity of the man Barbara left with?
