Her chauffeur, who also happens to be her ex-husband, picked her up and she went back to her hotel where she collected $22,000 from the cashier and left with the man, her husband had said.
Her husband Romeo Rockerfeller had told this newspaper that Barker had contacted him and informed of the location of the woman’s car which was found at Parika earlier in the week.
He had also said that he saw Barker boarding a vessel to Parika and had previously told him that he was looking for the woman. Police have since been searching for the man.
Barker was also employed by Hall as the hotel’s painter and had told staff, a day after she disappeared that he had received a power of attorney document signed by the woman which gave him control over the business until she returned.
He also made changes at the hotel, fired staff and hired new ones.
