For 30 Years Barbara Frame Has Been Missing

Friday will mark 30 years since Zanesville resident Barbara Frame went missing.

January 30th, 1985 Frame came home from work and told her family she had an appointment to go on, an appointment she would never make. That night she walked out her front door and was never seen or heard from again.

“Tomorrow we’re going to have a public awareness event for Barbara Frame, she’s been missing for 30 years,” said the private investigator on Frame’s case, Lilly Paisley. “Tomorrow marks the 30th year she was gone January, the 30th of 1985.”

Family and friends will gather at the Muskingum County Courthouse tomorrow at 1:00 in the afternoon. Thirty balloons will be released in the air, each representing one year Frame has been missing. There will also be a moment of silence, and an update on her still open case.

“I think it’s very important to keep her memory alive, sometimes especially when you’ve been gone for 30 years you can get lost in the shuffle. So it’s important for the family to keep her name, keep her picture keep the story in the public’s view so that somebody out there knows something. The family members are not going to give up on their mother, sister. The family is just not going to throw in the towel and say we’re done,” said Paisley.

Paisley encourages all to attend the public awareness event and hopes it will influence those who have been quiet about information to speak out.
