Photos of Ashley Barker on her personal web sites were not particularly clear, but they all revealed a tall, pretty young woman with a friendly smile. It could be that the circumstances of Ashley's life on the night of June 17, 2006 were such that she was headed for violence, whether she knew it or not. It might have been lurking inside someone close to her, just waiting for the right time to strike. If so, those circumstances didn't break into Ashley Barker's life online in any obvious way.

Ashley Barker's murder is a riddle: a blown-out tire; a hubcap in a trailer park parking lot; a car parked past midnight on a stretch of road sandwiched between two empty fields, its owner dead in the passenger seat.

The Lafayette Police have informed the media that anyone with information that might aid in parsing the riddle of Ashley Barker's unsolved murder can call the Lafayette Crime Stoppers line at 337-232-TIPS [8477].
