Fairland man says woman told him of having illness
The first night she moved in with him, he took her out to eat at Best Western, Stogsdill said. He said she was having “some trouble with her stomach,” but she was eating. He said he had overheard a doctor at St. John’s tell her on a previous occasion that she needed to be eating pureed foods. So he got a blender from a neighbor, and began feeding her chopped up and blended foods, he said.
Stogsdill corrected some information the Globe obtained from Joplin police and included in two articles on Barr’s hospitalization and death. He said he never spoke to a police officer at the hospital the day he took Barr there.
Stogsdill said he denied having held the woman hostage without food or water to a nurse and not to a police officer. He said he told the nurse that he had given Barr two glasses of water on the way to the hospital. He said he left the hospital when the nurse asked him to leave Barr’s room.
The Joplin Police Department confirmed Tuesday that the information concerning Stogsdill’s denial came from a nurse and not Stogsdill.
Stogsdill said Fairland’s acting police chief talked to him about the case over the weekend and wanted to interview him again Tuesday night. He said he has been cooperating with investigators.
He said Barr had told him of abuse by a previous boyfriend. He said he thinks Barr may have been confused and talking about that when she talked to the nurse.
“She would get me and him mixed up,” Stogsdill said. “When she was at my house, she would think she was at his house.”
A Joplin Police Department report states that an ex-boyfriend of Barr’s called the hospital shortly after she was taken there. He reportedly told a nurse that Barr had moved in with Stogsdill two weeks earlier, and that he had been holding her hostage and keeping her under his control with “mind-altering drugs.”
No charges
Bobby Stogsdill has not been charged and has not been identified as a suspect in the investigation.
