Barbara Cotton
About this episode
The episode explores the mysterious disappearance of teenage girl Barbara Cotton from North Dakota in 1981.
A teenage girl from a struggling North Dakota family vanished one spring night in 1981, leaving behind her savings, her personal belongings and every sign she fully intended to come home. In the hours before she disappeared, conflicting accounts placed her at dinner, at a park, and possibly at a crowded apartment party, always in the company of a mysterious older man no one in her life ever heard of until she was gone. Rumors, dead-end leads, and a trail of troubled men swirled around the case, yet the investigation barely moved.
