WARNING: THIS 4 PART SERIES INCLUDES SOME SENSITIVE DETAILS INVOLVING CHILD ABUSE AND ANIMAL CRUELTY.
On April 11, 1981, 15-year-old Barbara "Barb" Cotton went out for the evening. Depending on who you ask, she was reportedly having dinner with a friend, a boyfriend, her mother, or some combination of the three. What is certain is that Barb never returned home. She was never seen or heard from again.
Over the decades, several persons of interest have emerged, including Barb's own brother, Frank. Yet despite years of investigation, countless questions, and a family still searching for answers, no one has been able to definitively explain what happened to Barb.
Today, we're exploring a new possibility involving a different person of interest, someone who has never been seriously examined as a potential suspect. By following the small details, taking a closer look at the family dynamics, and examining who truly had the means, motive, and opportunity, we're going to revisit one of North Dakota's most enduring mysteries and ask whether the answer may have been hiding in plain sight all along.
