Details of Disappearance
Barnes was last seen late in the afternoon of July 7, 2000, at a family member's home in the vicinity of the 800 block of Little Street in West Point, Mississippi. She was reported missing ten days after she was last seen; her family became concerned after her grandmother died and Barnes didn't attend the funeral. She has never been heard from again.

Barnes left behind a young daughter. Although it wasn't unusual for her to drop out of sight for a few days, she was never gone for very long. Before she went missing, she told her sister a man had threatened her with a knife. She was unable to remember the man's name, however, and it's unclear whether the incident was related to her later disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.
 
There is an interview with the sister who says the same man who pulled a knife on her, told her to go out there and "make him some money".

Sadly individuals who have disabilities get taken advantage of, and a black woman at that. Law Enforcement needs to look into this case more.

It seems like she has been failed by multiple people along the way.

Bumping for this woman. I truly hope she is found.
