Publish date: 2024-05-07

In a report by the Supreme Court of Victoria (per Aussie Criminals), two psychologists and a psychiatrist treated Caroline Reed Robertson while she was in jail. They all came to the conclusion that she had a personality disorder. As reported by the Herald Sun, Robertson pleaded guilty to murdering Barber, and she was sentenced to 20 years in prison without parole. She served 14 years and six months. During sentencing, the judge stated that Robertson would be dangerous to anyone whom she fixated on, as said in court documents.

In 2015, Robertson was released from prison on parole. The conditions of her release include notifying her parole officer before she moves to a different location, adhering to parole rules, and not breaking any laws, according to the Herald Sun. During her time in prison, Robertson drastically changed her appearance, and Rachel Barber's mother said that she wouldn't have recognized her if she didn't know who she was. 

"I kept thinking she looks like someone I know ... It has that feel about Rachel ... at first glance, it's kind of weird," she stated. The Barber family released a statement and pleaded for the public not to harass Robertson. "She was diagnosed with a personality disorder and now that she is older will hopefully recognize when she needs to seek help," the statement read (via 9 News). They are hopeful that with careful monitoring and supervision, Robertson won't get the chance to kill again.
