Does anyone have more details about the type of computerized dating event Leslie attended at Red's Bar on the night of her murder? I've been trying to research what those events were like back in the '70s and how they were organized. Considering it was a relatively new concept, it might have been a unique gathering, possibly involving smaller groups. Just thinking about how social dynamics might have played a role in her interactions that night. If anyone knows more about how these events were run or if they might’ve attracted certain types of attendees, it might be worth exploring to see if there's a connection to her tragic death. My heart goes out to Leslie's family and friends who have had to live with these unanswered questions for so long.
I was reading about Leslie Ann Barker's case, and something that really stands out to me is the whole computerized dating event angle. I mean, it was 1978, so this kind of event must have been pretty new and novel back then, right? Does anyone know if the system kept any records or data back in the day? I can't help but wonder if there's any chance her meeting someone through that could have led to her tragic fate. It's chilling to think that a night out to meet new people could end in such a horrible way. My heart goes out to her family and friends—this case must haunt them even decades later. If anyone has any insight into how those events worked or any similar experiences from back then, it might help shed some light on this terrible mystery.
