Esther Lucille Weston-Barger was a 51-year-old from Cocomo, Indiana.

On the night of November 12, 2009, video caught Esther's vehicle leaving a local tavern,

headed toward her home. She never arrived. On June 17, 2020, her

car with Esther inside was pulled from a retention pond located within a half mile of her house.

Today we remember Esther.

I'm at Dunsel and this is unfound. you're going to do you know and do you know I have a question for all of you. How many of you don't live anywhere near where you grew up?

Hold your hands up so I can see you. Yes, there's quite a few of you as I expected. I'm the same. I haven't lived in Pennsylvania where I grew up in almost two decades.

In fact, my parents don't even live in my hometown of Leechburg anymore.

They live in a place called Renfrew.

I bring you this program from Madeir Beach, Florida.

But I still find myself calling Pennsylvania home. Do you do the same? Do you call your hometown

home even though you haven't lived there in 10 years or 20 years? Why do we do that? Are our childhood memories that strong? Are they

that emotionally powerful? I guess so. In fact in recent years I've tried to condition myself to say I'm going back to

Pennsylvania when I'm going to see my parents instead of I'm going quote-unquote home, but I still really have to think about it before I say it

It's very strange in Esther Weston-Barger's case. She was going home to Cocomo, Indiana. A place where she grew up, a place

where much of her family, including her mother, still lived. A place where she wanted to start

a diner.

But something happened.

She came home, then she disappeared.

And now summary of the case,

this is brought to you by my friend Megan Goodsight Charlie Project.org

Esther Westonbarger was last seen leaving Miller's Tavern on Elm Street in Cocomo, Indiana at 1.30 a.m. on November 12, 2009.
