Barbara is right. her first novel and she's, given herself a very strict one year, deadline to finish board at least she has almost no other obligations, which it is partly due to the fact that she has almost no fry and zero job? entirely due to the fact that she is eight years old when barbers telling people her book is about

He's on end plucking away at her typewriter writing upwards of four thousand of five thousand words in a single sitting. I mean for perspective.

A few short months later, Barbara sits back down at her typewriter and brings the adventures of deeper sip back to life. As you can imagine, this process is painstaking and frustrating this time around the story comes in bursts. She works on it in between other projects and a key Finally sets aside for months at a time when, in the spring of nineteen, twenty six Barbara, basically climbs ever his twice, she finished her first novel, or is this a second time and only twelve years old, which, if you ask me, isn't just remarkable. It is miraculous. Now it's not a word for word replica Barbara does care should actually likes this version even better and she

They ve been exchanging letters for years. and seeing each other when they can in times of upheaval like after the police captured opera and through her in jail, Anderson literally dropped everything to be by her side but since Barbara left, with Nick she's, most sleeping ghosting Anderson and on the rare occasion she does send him a letter.

now back to the story. When Barbara returns from Europe in November, one thousand nine hundred and thirty three, she moves her life from New York to Boston. She wants to be closer to the person she loves, Nick Rogers so not Anderson. As far as I know, that's over Barbara in necktie than not following summer in July of thirty four, and she decides to try and a bit of domesticity for size, Barbara adopts the role of housewife and takes a job as a secretary As you can imagine, it doesn't quite suit her there's nothing. wrong with her life. She just feels like her character. Episode playing in her backyard garden is perfectly pleasant, but nothing Is satisfying her need for adventure so annoying thirty: nine five years into her new life, Barbara decides to pursue a new passion across the country

she and roles in the Bennington School of Dance in Oakland California, where shall study interpretive dance for the summer and mixed totally fine with them. He has to stay behind in Boston for his job and he probably figures like in a span of a marriage. What's a few months apart. Well, it turns out of months is more than enough time for Barbara to find inspiration and joy, and just enough time neck to start seeing someone else and to make matters worse. Barbara finds all Out in a letter, no joke Nick doesn't even wait for Barbara to come home to ask for a divorce like True coward, he sends a message in the mail given her fathers betrayed this is ready triggering for Barbara. She's not going to let Nick off easy. She hops on the first bus back to Boston, deter men to save her marriage and ok. Here is where things start to get really messy,

the little surreal when Barbara arrives back home. This is August fifteenth she's expecting to confront neck, but there isn't even a whisper of a welcome or an apology. Why? Because next am I a and sore many of his belongings, Barbara doesn't really know what to do at this point is Nick gone for good is this just like all weekend away with his mistress like as far as she knows, she may never see him again and apparently she's distressed, because she calls up a doctor friend for support and the doktor, brings over some non traditional medicine to nurse Barbara Sorrow, I'm talkin, hamburgers whiskey and a bunch of sleeping pills, The combination soothes her anxiety, basically by knocking her out for a while and through

days in an unknown quantity of intoxicate later Nick returned home to find Barbara waiting for him. His only explanation for why he was gone. A business trip and ok even if he's telling the truth, it still sounds like a tired excuse. If you ask me, but I will let Nick have this one There are more important things for him and Barbara to discuss like the divorce. He asked for But here's where the specifics of the story get even more hazy. You would think that Barbara would kick Nick out. For good or give him some sort of ultimatum. At least talk about. how to move forward, but instead Barbara and Nick seem to just carry on their marriage as if nothing happened, like We get home on a Tuesday, Nick, it's home on a Friday and by Saturday, there vacationing together in Vermont. So if you visit, their emotional repression at its finest or theirs

suddenly living in a bizarre o, parallel universe, where Nick didn't just try to detonate their marriage. It until a few months later, when she and Nick, or exploring the beaches and towns of Cape cod daydreaming and pretending to pick out the summer home of their dreams, that Barbara decides to confront tat. She turns to Nick Inches asks him point blank. Do you want to make a go things, and he apparently says yes, but there's more to it than that, because just as barbarous face lights, up Nick adds don't get too excited. I'm not sure can't, but Barbara doesn't seem worried, she replied and well. Wanting is more than half the battle with both of us wanting it so much and pulling as hard as possible. I don't see how there can be any failure, so clearly she's hopeful and we'll how about this conversation, because afterwards she writes about it in a letter to a friend

later, she writes a follow up letter with an update. She said quote on the surface, things are terribly terribly com and wrong, just as wrong as they can be I still think there is a chance that the outcome will be a happy one, but I would have to think that anyway, in order to live end quote barber drops this letter in the mail in November nineteen, thirty nine- it is probably the last thing she ever rights. barely a month later on December, seven, nineteen, thirty nine Barbara walks out of the front door of her apartment with note book and the modern equivalent of five hundred fifty dollars cash and then she's never heard from or seen again okay. So some of this makes sense. Right wing. Barbara had always been a little flighty and impulsive. It's not hard to believe that thing.

got even more sour with next, so she just up and left but to disappear. A word to any one. She cared about that's suspicious and as far as the details of how she laughed that's all, according to Nick aside from his Estonia, we don't actually know when she left what she took with her or even if it was voluntary so here's what we know for sure at ten p, am on December, twenty First Nick Rogers reports, Barbara missing too the Brook line police. This is fourteen days after he says she wept. He howls them about the missing notebook and cash and admit they had an argument before she left Nick, doesn't say what the arguments about, though, he's more focus on asking police to keep a low profile, barbarous, still relatively famous, and he doesn't want publicity which can seem.

fair, but on April eighteen of nineteen forty, this is four months after his wife's alleged disappearance. Nick change his mind now he wants to get media involved so two days later, the Brookline Police Department releases statement to eight surrounding states. It includes the date barber went missing and this description Barber Rogers married age! Twenty six, five foot, seven inches a hundred twenty five pounds bear complexion black eyebrows brown eyes dark off Herr worn in a long Bob left shoulders Lee higher than right a case where's horn, rimmed glasses, noticed they use Barbara Rogers Nick gave them Barbara's married name. the press. Still has no idea that Barbara New Hall followed the selection

Kid writer is missing and they won't for another year until in May nineteen, forty one Barbara's Father Wilson fall. It publishes an open letter in the Atlantic, its titled to a after one year lost and its clear from his words that he, fully believe barbarous still alive. He actually goes as far as to scold her for running away, and then has the audacity to lecture her on how to maintain a healthy marriage two more years and on December, fourteenth of nineteen forty three for you, almost to the day since barbarous disappearance, Nick files for divorce. Then, He immediately marries a woman named an Bradley, the same woman he'd cheated on Barbara, with no up until this point

barbers mother Helen, also believed her daughter was alive somewhere and been under the impression that Nick was doing everything he could defined her daughter, but after the divorce Helen digs deeper in the actions officials took after barbarous disappearance, and she, and how Nick kept the meat out of the investigation which she thinks is highly suspect. Helen basically spends the rest of her life, writing letters to the Brookline Police Department, desperately searching for answers and pointing fingers and next direction. She even rights. Nick a letter on March Eleven nineteen, fifty three, it says, quote this silence, on your part, almost looks as if you had something to high concerning barbers disappearance, you not believe that I shall sit idle during the last few years and not make whatever effort I can to find out

their bar is alive or dead. End quote now. Nothing ever actually comes out against Maybe because he's innocent, maybe because the dead can't talk whatever the case. The police don't come across any leads nowhere info, no sightings. Nobody unless someone somewhere made a huge mistake. You see five years before Helen sent a letter to neck November nineteen. Forty eight officials in New Hampshire get a call some human remains found near Squaw Lake. Is it just south of the white mountains? It's not much. Most fragment have been scattered by natural forces that animals the brook the wind, but they find

snow belongings as well. There's a purse, an empty medicine bottle a flask tarnished shoes and a pair of worn rimmed lasses investigators determined. The remains belonged to a young woman around the age of twenty five who died at least eight years ago, which is almost an exact match for an open missing persons case, a local woman named Elsie, Whittemore Elsie disk- here at twelve years earlier in nineteen thirty six at the age of twenty five, so one December. First, nineteen forty eight officials release a statement to the press. Saying Elsie Whittemore body has been found, forensics found barber to its in the medicine bottle. So her death is ruled a suicide, but here's the catch. The cops didn't bother ten mention any of the discrepancies else.

Whittemore was about three inches shorter than the estimated height of the young woman. They found the shoe is found at the scene, didn't match Elsie's size and Elsie, didn't wear glasses at all I mean don't get me wrong. The timing, thats the age, fats, even a location, fair, because Elsie lived just a few miles away from the swarm wake area where the remains were found, but this could have easily been a case, a mistaken identity, lead. Why not seriously consider Barbara to for one day, swarm Lake had sentimental value to Barbara. She and Nick had spent two weeks camping near the lake during their first trip together when they set out to hide the appellation trail and like Elsie, Barbara disappeared. More eight years before there remains were found, and she was also twenty five, but get this. She was taller,

then I'll, see, and we know she wore Horn rimmed collapses. So all of the things that don't match up for Elsie they work for Barbara Unfortunately, we may never know the truth. I'd say we could testing remains and see if the dna matched either of them. But nobody knows where the remains are. People have looked, but all records of their whereabouts have mysteriously vanished. So maybe Barbara, ran away and started a new life, never pausing to look in the rear view, or maybe her life was cut short the hands of someone she loved or even her own. But I'd like to think there's a third option, something besides life or death. maybe Barbara, fulfilled the same, ending she'd written for ever set when she was just twelve years old

she ran away from loneliness into the woods to find companionship somewhere amidst a sea of butterflies. She transformed into a fairy spirit of nature s bright of the meadow. A nymph of the woods. And she still out there somewhere waiting to be found. Sure it sounds pretty out there If there is one thing we know about Barbara, it says she always defied the odds and she disliked anything ordinary or predictable. This is, woman who spent her entire life, questioning why humanity built a world of glass and called it civilization when we're not actually superior to the natural world and the grand scheme of things We are no better than a worm, let alone a butterfly. If anything we're the problem and we need to start acting like it before it's too late, so yeah, maybe

just, maybe barbarous waiting for us in the forest where she'll be invisible. all the mortals who don't have minds to believe or eyes to see the truth, thanks for listening I'll, be back next week with another episode.
