On December 12, 2010, the 4th of Barbara Struncova and Bill Ulmer’s 4 roommates returned home from a visit to the USA. She was aware that while she was gone, Barbara had left Bill in an uncharacteristic manner, and that Barbara still had not contacted anyone. Everyone was very worried about Barbara, but nobody wanted to ask Bill too many questions. He seemed furious about the whole thing, and not one bit concerned for her safety, wherever she was.
In the kitchen on her first morning back, Bill told this roommate that Barbara left him with one of the Czech surfers– an old boyfriend named Martin–and that the couple had gone to Panama.
Although this made no sense at all (none of the Czech surfers were named Martin and all of them had returned to Czech Republic), no one had the gall to cross-examine Bill.
Barbara’s friends were afraid that something had happened to Barbara after she left. Still, no one imagined that she never walked out the door.
