Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serial Asleep. Hey everybody, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. I hope you guys are all having a good start to your week so far, had a good weekend. We are going to dive right into today's case. It's actually one that came from TikTok.
And the reason I say it came from TikTok is because when I tell you how many times I was tagged in this video and in this story literally in the hundreds maybe even thousands it was like a tsunami of mentions and tags and dms over the weekend of everyone like wanting me to talk about this case so did some research wanted to see is there enough information what value could we add to it
And now here we are. We are talking about it. And it's the case of Amber Barker. It's a 10-year-old little girl who went missing in Oklahoma in 1997. And the details will literally leave your jaw on the floor. So I'm going to jump right in.
It is the face and the case investigators cannot forget.
The whole family was questioning. Everybody was questioning. Taking down a police station, a polygraph and all that.
Did you undergo a polygraph?
In December of 1997, the people of Oklahoma City were feeling very festive, very excited for the holidays. Kids were counting down the days until the holiday break, parents were busy wrapping gifts and presents, and families were, of course, putting up all of their holiday decorations. Now, at that time, a little girl, 10-year-old Amber Renee Barker, lived in the city with her mom.
And even though Oklahoma City was pretty big, Amber and her mom had a home in the cozy, close-knit neighborhood just northwest of downtown. It was kind of the place where the neighbors all knew one another, the kids all played outside until the streetlights came on. You know the vibe, right? Now, Amber had a big family with a bunch of brothers and sisters.
She was the youngest in the family, in part because her parents got a divorce while her mother was pregnant. So they split up before she was born, which also, fun fact, she was born on Valentine's Day in 1987. She mostly lived with her mom, Bonnie, and the two of them were very, very close.
