Unbelievable how many new names are on here in just the last day. I hope that this young girl is found alive and well. I wonder what LE know so far.
My heart goes out to her family.
 
Tulsa Police have arrested Doug Ashworth in connection of the disappearance of 26-year-old Adrian Baker. Tonight Ashworth is accused of a grizzly murder.

Witness says that Ashworth began yelling at Barker, calling her a liar. The witnesses also say that Ashworth pulled out a revolver, pointed it at her head, and pulled the trigger.

Police also say the relationship between the two was possibly drug related. By Ashworth’s own confession he then rolled up the body of Baker in a carpet and moved it underneath the garage, under some floorboards.

Police have not been able to find the body. Authorities say that sometime in the past two weeks Baker’s body has been removed.

Tulsa Murder Victim's Body Recovered

Jan 13, 2006

Authorities recover the body of a Tulsa woman who was murdered last month. The investigation into Adrienne Barker's death led homicide detectives to the Verdigris River, near the Port of Catoosa.

She appeared to be wrapped in some type of rug.

Officers believe Barker had been in the river since she was killed. Barker was reported missing in December. The investigation led to Douglas Ashworth who confessed he shot Barker in the head.

Ashworth told police he threw her body in the crawl space under a Tulsa house, but it wasn't there.

The detectives and the department's dive team spent several hours on the scene recovering her body.

Adrienne's grandparents were notified Thursday night. They held her funeral about a week ago.

Adriane Barker, a former GW international affairs student, was the victim of a vicious murder this winter that kept police searching for her body more than a month after her disappearance.

The 26-year-old Tulsa, Okla., resident was first reported missing Dec. 8, setting off a frenzy in an attempt to find her alive. The Tulsa police finally located Barker's body Jan. 13; the body was found in the Virdigris River in neighboring Catoosa, Okla.

After about two hours of deliberation Thursday, a jury found Douglas Charles Ashworth guilty of the Dec. 8, 2005, first-degree murder of Adriane Barker, 26, and imposed a sentence of life without a chance of being paroled...

Musseman claimed Ashworth blamed Barker for a missing SUV from his garage, a vehicle that Musseman said Ashworth had stolen and planned to sell for $500.

Barker's life was apparently "worth about 500 bucks,” Musseman said.
