CA CA - Barbara Thomas, 69, from Bullhead City AZ, disappeared in Mojave desert, 12 July 2019 #5

[PommyMommy]

Where does the info originates that her dogs name is Lexie?

First time I read this.

Set 2 is roughly 2002 - 2009
Set 3 is 2014 - 2017
Set 4 includes wedding Nov 2006
Set 5 with dog Lexi?
Set 6 is 2017? and 2018

Most of these pictures are from post cards and hallmark notes she sent to my dad and his wife.
Please help us find BARB! She is an awesome lady!

Yes, I'm just trying to figure out why it is significant. Is it the time that is important or that two people had conflicting statements about her mood or just that they left the dog there?

In regard to the source I meant the source that said the people in the kennel were the two that made the comments about her mood as opposed to someone else like a neighbor.

What source said that the people in the kennel made the (conflicting) comments about her mood?

For instance there's a niece iirc that tried or has been trying to get verified here.
I believe those early posts were removed.
I for one hope, if true, she does just that.

VI shared pics of two dogs.

Wow, I can't see that. I was even squinting at the cat Can you give a general location in the sets and photos for the different dogs (eg. Set 1, top left?)

Thats a misreading of the VI’ s post. He was talking about the kennel and the neighbors.

I don't know! That's what I was asking. But I might just be confused. I thought that's who people were referring to in regard to the two statements. The VI said one person said she seemed aggravated and not herself and one person said she seemed herself. (or something like that)
I thought maybe they were neighbors but then I got the impression they were people from the kennel. So I just wanted to confirm which it was.

 

[Lilibet]

Can I make a suggestion? How about we all take a breath and go back and read the VI’s posts and all of us get on the same page.

See my post right before yours.

Ok, I got it. Thanks! I guess I was half right.

Sure, set 2, bottom right, Barbara and Robert with beige collie.
Set 5, upper pic, Barbara with (partial) black collie.

I like that. IMO we also may have to let go of stuff if we can't get a source on it, since it sounds like there's some unintentional muddling between other sites and here and private/public conversations.

So is one a puppy?
Please help.
I'm blind in one eye.
TIA

Thank you! I agree that the one on top of Set 2 does look lighter (I can't tell from the bottom set 2 photo). That said, I have very little experience with dogs and can't tell them apart as individuals.

I think this is the dog we are discussing.

I think this is the dog we are discussing.

Lexi reference was to the dog in set 5.
This dog is from set 2.

I think this is the dog we are discussing.

IMO that looks like a current pic of BT and RT.
Thanks for bringing that forward.

Lexi reference was to the dog in set 5.
This is set 2.

I'm on my cell.
Can you bump that pic for me? I'd really appreciate it.
And is it a puppy?
I'm confused.

Again, thread-wide apologies if I've helped send us down an unproductive path. I focused on the kennel as one of the only known independent sightings of Barbara the morning of her disappearance.

If she was a frequent client, the staff there might have familiarity with her enough to know if she interacted with them in a way that they could perceive as unusual. Abnormality in this case could be possibly defined as: 1.) her reservation for the dog(s) was made at shorter notice, 2.) she declined to greet them in the same pattern, 3.) her appearance/attire differed from what is listed on the missing flyers and in the press.

The order of visitation could prove useful, as well. There seems to be a dearth of information about the time span between the kennel drop-off, the neighbor's sighting, the timestamp of the photograph that she was reported to have taken during the hike, and the 911 call.

The kennel's place in the timeline might also help us establish if they made subsequent stops prior to heading to the interstate. I'm not familiar with RVs/campers, but I have driven this stretch of road and find it reasonable to suggest the couple would have needed to pre-plan for fuel. Same for food and beverages (unless they are home-brewers or bulk-buyers, someone made a beer run). The presence or absence of Barbara on these necessary pitstops could be valuable details.

Last, her husband's focus on abduction could have been reinforced by a sense they were being followed. The VI has indicated that he feels some details have been withheld from her husband's account. This withholding could be unintentional from faulty memory or stress, or deliberate at the request of LE or another motive hereto unknown. Motives aside, any potential pitstops could have security footage that might help determine if their rig was being "cased". Any verified dots on a map can help fellow drivers (especially long-haulers) with a time of reference to review any dash cam footage.

I hope this helps. Top right in first set (in the snow) looks lighter in color than top photo with Barbara in the desert in other set. Neither look like puppies, but as has been acknowledged, that info may be wrong or from another site.

Just to clear this up, it was Robert's niece who referred to the dog as a "puppy" but I wouldn't take it literally as some people tend to call all dogs 'pup' or 'puppy'. It's probably a young dog who was a puppy not so long ago! Puppies grow up very quickly.
