Barbara Cotton’s 1981 disappearance remains a haunting North Dakota cold case. Episode 21, But, I Saw Barb Cotton!, features Jeri Martinez-Kueffler, who recounts spotting Barbara in broad daylight the year she vanished. When she reported the sighting to local authorities, their response was far from what she expected. A Better Search for Barbara continues to bring forward overlooked voices, small town testimony, and rural crime investigations tied to one of the Midwest’s most enduring unsolved murders.
