Local Residents Gather to Commemorate a Missing Local Woman

Saturday marks the 31st anniversary of a local woman’s disappearance.

Barbara Frame went missing January 30th of 1985 after coming home from work and leaving for an appointment with her lawyer. She walked out the door and was never seen or heard from again. Family and friends gathered at the Muskingum County Courthouse Saturday morning to commemorate frame followed by the release of a message in a balloon. Private Investigator Lilly Paisley said their goal is to bring closure to the family.

“I have received about 100 tips in the past year and a half and I think that we are moving forward, I hope that this will be our last awareness event without divulging any information yet. We have some things that needs to be tested and we have some sworn statements and I think we are moving forward but, things has to be verified and we got to get some legal authorities involved in some of the areas that we explored,” said Paisley.

Paisley said she feels they have turned a corner in the case, and she is hopeful. Barbara’s son, Ernest Huber said the family needs closure to move on.

“If there is people out there that know anything about what happened to come forward and give that information so we can find a resolution for this,” said Huber.
