Details of Disappearance

Barber was a crew member on the 74-foot fishing boat Gallant Fox on July 2, 2010. The ship was at Oregon Inlet, about 30 miles off the coast of North Carolina, when he fell overboard at approximately 5:00 a.m. He wasn't wearing a life jacket at the time. The water temperature at the time was about 82 degrees and the air temperature 72 degrees.

In spite of an extensive search by the Coast Guard, no trace of Barbers could be found. The search was suspended the following day. He is presumed to be lost at sea.
