He returned home at approximately 8 a.m. and left minutes later via a ride share service for the airport. He then flew out of the city on a business trip. His wife, Jenny, left home for work in her vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday evening, Jenny Barker went to the daycare facility to pick up the children. She was told that Katera was never dropped off.
