Blood reportedly found in hallway in California missing woman case​

Details are emerging in the case of a missing Bakersfield woman, as authorities are asking for the public's help in identifying a vehicle.

Ana Barbosa, 53, was last seen by family members on May 6. The following day, a late '90s white GMC pickup truck pulling a rusted trailer was captured on surveillance footage in the Lamont and Arvin areas of Kern County. The county sheriff's office is describing the truck as a "vehicle of interest."

Warrants filed by sheriff's investigators relating to the case and seen by KGET-TV allege that Barbosa saved money for two years to leave her husband and that money is now missing. The outlet also reported that she may have previously been the victim of domestic violence, and that blood was found by detectives in the hallway of the couple's home in southwest Bakersfield. An auto body shop run by the couple on Norris Road in Bakersfield was reportedly searched by detectives in May.

The Kern County Sheriff's Office told SFGATE on Thursday that they cannot share any further details on the case at this time. "It is an active and ongoing investigation," spokesperson Lori Meza said.

Why would somebody claim they ordered an Uber when it's so easy to prove if they did or didn't? That, all by itself, makes me give him the side eye on this one.

Honestly, with all the alleged evidence, I don’t know why there hasn’t been an arrest by now.
