Episode 120 Ana Barbosa On May 6, 2024, 53 year old Ana Barbosa vanished. She was last known to be with her husband at his auto shop in the Oildale section of Bakersfield, CA. By his own admission, her husband admitted that they had argued at the shop, but then gave varying accounts top people of what happened to his wife. In one version, he called her an Uber. In another version, she walked away and claimed there would be footage of her leaving on the shop's surveillance footage. However, there is no footage of her leaving, and there is no record of any Uber picking Ana up. Ana's daughter, Ana Maria Leal Ochoa, who is our guest in this episode, was surprised and upset to get a call that her mom was missing and it was only at her urging, that Ana Barbosa's husband finally reported her missing. She remains missing to this day. Ana Barbosa is described as a Hispanic adult woman standing 5ft3, and weighing 140 pounds. She has Black hair and Brown eyes. There is currently a $10,000 reward being offered in this case. Anyone with information is asked to call the Kern County Sheriff's Office at 661-861-3110 or Kern Secret Witness at 661-322-4040.
