Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP8363) and 5 other sources
Teresa Lanette Barnett, a 30-year-old woman, was last seen on the morning of August 7, 1987, in Marshall, Texas. Her husband dropped her off at the Eckerd Pharmacy parking lot along Highway 59 around 10:30 a.m. Her vehicle was later found unlocked and abandoned in the same parking lot, raising immediate concerns about her safety. A few days after her disappearance, Teresa's purse was discovered on the side of the road approximately three miles away, at the intersection of South Washington and Lakeview Drive.

There were no signs of a struggle at the scene, but given the circumstances, foul play is strongly suspected in her case. Despite investigations, no substantial leads have emerged, and her case remains unsolved after more than three decades. Teresa was described as having blonde hair, blue eyes, and wearing glasses at the time of her disappearance. She stood around 5'2" to 5'5" and weighed approximately 105 pounds. Her disappearance continues to baffle authorities, and any information that could help solve her case is encouraged to be reported to local law enforcement.

Her case remains active with ongoing efforts to seek answers and closure for her family.
