Caroline would write in her journal that Rachel was "strikingly attractive" with "very clear pale skin" and "hypnotic green eyes." Whilst she described herself as. a "pizza face" with "brown oily hair and no coordination." Caroline would often babysit for the Barber family and during that time Caroline developed an odd obsession with Rachel. On February 28th 1999, Caroline called Rachel and told her that she could make $100 by participating in a psychological study. She went on to tell Rachel to come to her apartment after her dance class, but told her not to tell anyone about the study as it risked compromising the results.

So Barber didn't tell anyone where she was going after school on March 1st or even that she'd spoken with the babysitter. She simply met up with Caroline and rode the tram to her apartment. Caroline told Rachel that they would begin the study by meditating and thinking about "happy and pleasant things" As Rachel closed her eyes, Caroline wrapped a telephone cord around her neck and str*ngled her to de*th. Caroline then shoved Rachel's bOdy into a wardrobe, where it stayed for several days. Later, she wrapped the body in two rugs, stuffed it into an army bag, and hired a taxi to help her move a "statue" to her father's property. There, she buried Rachel Barber in the family pet cemetery.
