BOISE, IDAHO --
It's been three years since Ahren Barnard disappeared from Boise, literally without a trace. Now his mother, Vicki Barnard is in town to lead a vigil this weekend, hoping it will help bring answers.
"I don't know if he's dead or alive. But I do know in my heart that there are people in this valley that know what happened to my son," Bernard told Today's Channel 6 News.
Ahren was 35 years old when he vanished without a trace on December 4, 2004. He was last seen dropping of his son at the McDonalds on Cole & Overland Roads.
"He was going to pick him up the next morning to complete his visitation weekend, but he never showed up," Vicki said. "So that was very, very odd. That was our first indication that maybe something was wrong.
She is certain her son would not have left without telling anyone. Ahren's truck was deserted in his driveway, and his pets were abandoned without food or water.
"I have tried to open my mind to all the possibilities out there. But I can not say for one second that I've believed that he left on his own," she said.Vicki has always feared that fould play was involved in her son's disappearance, but Boise Police have never found any real proof of that. The case is still classified as "highly suspicious."
"Detectives may have hunches. They may have gut feelings. But what they need is evidence," said Boise Police spokeswoman Lynn Hightower.So Vicki has made it her life's mission to find out what happened to Ahren, doing what she can to keep his dissapearance in the public eye.
She is organizing a vigil for Sunday, December 4th. It's scheduled to begin 7:00 p.m. at the YMCA West on Discovery Way in Boise. There will be a candle lighting and balloon release outside, weather permitting.
When Ahren went missing, he was 5'10", 180 lbs, with black hair and brown eyes, and a scar on his lieft arm.
If you have any information about Ahren's disappearance, please contact Boise Police at (208) 377-6500.
