Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP4933) and 13 other sources
Vicke Lee Lamberton, age 24, was last seen in February 1974 in Worcester, Massachusetts. At the time of her disappearance, Vicke was estranged from her husband and was a psychology student at Assumption College. She had recently moved out of their shared home, placing most of her belongings in the garage of her psychology professor, Dr. Roger Barker. There were suspicions of a romantic relationship between Vicke and Barker, though this was never confirmed.

Before she disappeared, Vicke told her husband she would visit him after a weekend trip to Maine with a friend, but she was never seen again. When her husband contacted the friend, he learned that there had been no trip. Suspicions arose that she might have traveled to Colorado with Barker, as he had traveled there around the same time. Barker later claimed he did not know her whereabouts. Vicke was not reported missing until 2010, 36 years after her disappearance, and her case remains unsolved.

Vicke’s social security number has not been used since 1974, and no official leads have been discovered. Despite extensive efforts by her family, Vicke's disappearance remains a mystery.

Last Seen: Feb 1, 1974
