Barbosa’s husband, Fabian Barbosa, was the last known person to have contact with her before the disappearance. Documents obtained by Eyewitness News show he told investigators the two had argued at his business, The Corner Shop Automotive Services, the day she disappeared.
He told investigators she planned to take an Uber home and claimed he ordered the ride for her. But according to those documents, investigators found no record of an Uber being requested from his phone that day.
Investigators offered a $10,000 reward in 2024 for anyone who provided information leading to Barbosa’s whereabouts.
