Barepot was in the news in 2002, when the remains of a baby, named "Lara" by police, were found encased in a block of cement/concrete. The discovery was made when a man was clearing out a pit in a garage and discovered the block.[1][2]

To this day no one has been charged with the murder of Baby Lara, although a couple were arrested but released without charge.

Lara is buried in St Peters churchyard at Camerton.
