She parked it next to her mail truck, apparently leaving a cup of coffee on the truck.
Barker is described as a five- foot- five, white female about 140 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes.
Roanoke Police say this is an unusual case, because Barker's disappearance is "unusual for her."

Parents of kids at Breckenridge Elementary School confronted school board members after a meeting to finalize the budget this morning.

The school board voted to move five teachers from Breckenridge to other schools, to make up for the budget shortage.

With the attention that racial profiling and police brutality are getting across the nation, tensions between officers and some members of the minority communities are increasing.
