Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Baremore was last seen leaving the Sugar Bares VIP Club on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Winston-Salem, North Carolina during the early morning hours of April 6, 2004. She was employed at the club as an exotic dancer. She got into a Willard Cab Company taxicab and rode away. She has never been heard from again. Baremore did not have a car at the time of her disappearance, and her family often drove her places. Her family realized she was missing on April 8, when her sister went to the club to pick her up and discovered she wasn't there. Her relatives reported her missing on April 10. Baremore resided with her boyfriend, Cedrick Bobby Lemon, in an apartment off Silas Creek Parkway at the time of her disappearance. She had stated that she was considering leaving Lemon. After her disappearance, all of Baremore's belongings, including her dance bag which she normally carried with her, were found in her apartment. Lemon stated that their relationship was "rocky" and he and Baremore argued after she arrived home on the morning of her disappearance. He told her he did not want to marry her, she told him she was going out to get a newspaper and find a new place to live. Lemon said Baremore had occasionally left him for short periods before and he assumed this was one of them, until her family became concerned. Lemon was arrested for probation violation after Baremore's disappearance. He has an arrest record dating back to 1995, mostly for drug- and driving-related offenses. Baremore herself was on inactive probation at the time of her disappearance; in 2000, she was convicted of felony drug possession and received a suspended sentence. Lemon died of a drug over overdose in 2018, fourteen years after Baremore's disappearance. The circumstances surrounding her case are unclear, but her mother believes she is deceased, as it is uncharacteristic of her to be out of touch with the family. Baremore is originally from Lexington, North Carolina, and she has a daughter who was raised by a relative. Her case remains unsolved.

A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
