Who She Is: When first introduced, Barbara was not a villain at all; rather, she was Jim’s wealthy fiancée with a slightly sordid past. They quarrel when Jim learns of her past drug use and relationship with Detective Renee Montoya, and their engagement officially comes to an end when Barbara leaves a note claiming that she is too afraid to stay and be a part of his dangerous life. Soon regretting her decision, Barbara spirals, jumping from bed to bed and sharing her apartment with a pair of street kids. 

What She Did: Barbara is kidnapped by the Ogre, who forces her to either choose his next victims for him or be killed herself. She selects her parents and then later reveals to Lee Thompkins that she was the one to physically take their lives. After making her confession, Barbara picks up a knife and goes after Lee. 

Current Status: Unknown. Last seen, Barbara's head was being bashed into the floor by Dr. Thompkins.

Fiction buff and writer. If it's on Netflix, it's probably in my queue. I've bought DVDs for the special features and usually claim that the book is better than the movie or show (and can provide examples). I've never met a TV show that I won't marathon. Follow on Twitter @lah9891 .
