CSI: Cyber[]

Barbara never appears physically in the spin-off but D.B. mentions that at some point between the murder of Julie Finlay and Why-Fi, he and Barbara divorced. It is never revealed why the two ended their marriage but it is likely a result of the latter's mourning of Julie and his desire to work with Avery Ryan in the FBI while Barbara wished to return to Seattle.
