KENTUCKY (1/17/12)— The Kentucky State Police (KSP) investigate criminal activity and missing persons cases across the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky, and, in many instances, the information provided by individual citizens allows law enforcement officials to make important breakthroughs in difficult cases.
With this in mind, members of the KSP Post 3 in Bowling Green, KY are asking the public to help in finding a Kentucky resident, Alyne Barrick, who has been missing for over a decade.
As members of the KSP Post 3 explain, Alyne Barrick was last seen on Laurel Road in Mammoth Cave, KY (Edmonson County) on April 12th, 1996.
During the investigation of her disappearance, one of Barrick’s neighbors told investigators that they had spoken with her around 2pm that afternoon, which was a Friday.
After several failed attempts to contact Barrick throughout the weekend, the county Sheriff’s Department was contacted and forced entry into her home. Upon entry into her home on Monday, investigators reported that her bedroom look as if a struggle had recently taken place.
While Ms. Barrick was 60 years-old at the time of her disappearance, family members and close friends initially reported that she had been romantically involved with a younger man. Though it’s possible this information could be linked to the case, the identity of the younger man was never positively discovered.
