Barbara Gould, 73, was last seen on November 13, 2018, in the Bluewater Acres area of New Mexico after an altercation with the driver of a vehicle she had been riding in. The confrontation took place in the Zuni Mountains along Forest Road 180; Barbara exited the vehicle at that location and was reportedly left behind. A Silver Alert was issued because she was considered endangered due to her age and possible vulnerabilities.

Her brown hair, green eyes and small stature at 5 feet 1 inch were circulated during the search led by the Cibola County Sheriff’s Office, but no significant leads have emerged. The isolated terrain where she was last seen has raised concerns about the threats she may have faced, and search efforts so far have not located her. Anyone who knew Barbara or has information about her movements on November 13, 2018, is asked to come forward.
