Is there any chance that Barbara has disappeared by choice?
I don't know if this was discussed earlier.
Having been near that area once, it is so desolate. Nothing but sand and scrub brush, as far as the eye can see.
It's been discussed (and dismissed) several times. It's really unlikely that someone would voluntarily walk off or get in a car with strangers while possessing no money, no credit cards, no clothing, no phone. This is not how people usually plan voluntary relocation/no contact situations.
While it is desolate, Kelbaker is also a fairly well-traveled road (compared to, say, Hidden Hills Rd).
Are you suggesting she voluntarily wandered off into the desert in an act of self-harm?
