About Me

..
FOR 26 YEARS, AARON FOSTER CLAIMED THAT BARBARA SHOT HERSELF IN HER CHEST WITH HIS .38 SPECIAL, AND THAT SHE THEN TOLD HIM "I SHOT MYSELF, GET RID OF THE GUN."
BUT, ON NOVEMBER 1, 2007 A RAMSEY COUNTY GRAND JURY INDICTED FOSTER FOR THIRD DEGREE HOMICIDE. FOSTER WAS BOOKED AND JAILED AT THE RAMSEY COUNTY JAIL ON NOVEMBER 1, 2007. HE APPEARED IN COURT ON NOVEMBER 2, 2007, AND THE JUDGE RELEASED FOSTER FROM JAIL, BUT DID NOT REQUIRE THAT FOSTER POST BAIL.
FOSTER IS A CIVILIAN EMPLOYEE AT THE SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA POLICE DEPARTMENT, AS A CLERK IN CHARGE OF MOTOR VEHICLES INVOLVED IN HOMICIDES, AT THE DEPARTMENT'S IMPOUND LOT. AFTER HE WAS INDICTED FOR BARARA'S MURDER, FOSTER WAS PLACED ON UNPAID ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE

THIRD DEGREE HOMICIDE
RAMSEY COUNTY JAIL
Barbara was born to Branch and Earmel Bruce on December 25, 1945
Barbara was murdered by AARON WALTER FOSTER, SR. on May 8, 1981
Barbara's case was closed by the Ramsey County Attorney's Office, in 1981. The Maplewood Police Department re-opened the case in 2002. The case was not charged, but it was left open because the Minnesota BCA (Bureau of Criminal Apprehension) advised Maplewood PD to do so.
The Ramsey County Sheriff Office's Cold Case Unit re-investigated the case in 2006. Since then, many new witnesses have come forward, and a mountain of damning evidence has been uncovered, as well.
Because of a perceived conflict of interest by the Ramsey County Attorney, the case was reviewed for charges by the Anoka County Attorney. The Anoka County Attorney presented the case to a Ramsey County Grand Jury in late October, 2007. The Grand Jury indicted Foster for Third Degree Homicide
Anoka County prosecutors are serving as Special Prosecutors for the Ramsey County Attorney's Office. Therefore, the Special Prosecutors from Anoka County will present the case to a Ramsey County Jury in St. Paul, Minnesota
Barbara was 36 when she was murdered leaving behind 3 children and a host of family and friends. She was a loving and caring person and we miss her deeply.

My Interests

DISCUSSION ABOUT BARBARA'S CASE WITH TODD MATTHEWS ON "MISSING PIECES". Click Here to hear Barbara's story

I'd like to meet:

Our mission is to create awareness about Barbara's case. Barbara's voice was silenced for over 25 years. We invite you to help us serve as Barbara's voice!! We would like to meet people who are genuinely concerned about the outcome of Barbara's case, thus this page is not to be used for social purposes! We welcome everyone to our circle of friends. However, we ban anyone whose purpose is to promote any commercial entity or financial opportunity. Musicians and politicians are more than welcome here, and within reason, you are welcome to post promotional comments on this page. But, if you refuse to allow us to place comments on your page, you will be removed, immediately, because we are here to NETWORK...and networking must go both ways. In fact, since you have a platform, and many of the victims who are among Barbara's friends do not, we would like to see some of you take at least one of the victims from among Barbara's friends, and become a champion for him or her. We are working hard to create a voice, not only for Barbara, but for other victims of violence, as well. So, please join us, and help us speak out for those who can no longer do so themselves!!

If you have someone you want to add to this memorial slideshow, please e-mail us at:

The poem below was written for Barbara by poet Cartel Zuri

"DIE ANOTHER DAY"

TIRED OF PACING THROUGH LANDMINES OF COLD AND VICIOUS WORDS;

TIRED OF THE SOUND OF CRUELTY TOO MANY TIMES HEARD;

HIS OBSESSION MASQUERADED AS POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE;

WATCHING HER EVERY MOVEMENT WITH AN EAGLE EYED GLANCE;

HIS CRUEL OBSERVATIONS OF EPIC PROPORTIONS;

LOVE;

LUST;

AND HATE TO OFTEN DISTORTED;

THE LOVE THEY ONCE SHARED NONE TOO HASTILY ABORTED;

TOO MUCH INNOCENCE TO BECOME A VICTIM OF HIS WRATH;

THE HAND THAT HELD HER HAND IS THE HAND THAT RULES HER PATH;

BUT THE HAND THAT ONCE TOUCHED HER FACE IS NOW BALLED UP AND HURLED;

IN A FIST;

THAT USED TO CARESS HER SKIN

AND HER HEAD FULL OF CURLS;

HAS NOW TURNED TO HATE;

CAUSE HE SPIES THE END COMING;

AND HE SENSES THAT SHE'LL JUST WALK AWAY;

FOR HER THEY'LL BE NO RUNNING;

BECAUSE THROUGH THE MAKEUP AND PAIN;

HUMILITY ;

AND SHAME;

DEEP DOWN INSIDE THAT SAME WOMAN REMAINS;

FULL OF GRACE AND STRENGTH;

HE CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY;

SO SHE WALKS OUT THE DOOR;

AND OUT OF THE PAIN;

IF ONLY SO SHE CAN LIVE

TO DIE ANOTHER DAY.

CARTEL ZURI
