Barbara Johnson-Willard was last seen at her home in Jay, Oklahoma on June 17, 1996.
After an exhaustive search for her, the family went to local law enforcement to seek help.
On June 27, 1996, Barbara's maroon and gray 1986 Mercury Cougar was found abandoned in a pond near Colcord, Oklahoma. Upon further investigation, pieces of clothing were found hanging out of the trunk and gas tank.
The car had been saturated in transmission fluid as if the culprit(s) intended to burn the vehicle. Blood and tissue samples found in the trunk were identified as belonging to Barbara.
In 2011, John Lee Weeks was charged with Barbara's death. Her remains have not been located.
