The Mysterious Disappearance of Barbara Cotton

In April of 1981, 15-year-old Barbara Cotton disappeared from Williston, North Dakota after being seen out that evening. Multiple people reported seeing her that night, but the timeline of where she was, who she was with, and what happened next has never fully lined up. What followed would shape the direction of her case for decades and leave more questions than answers... 

A special thank you to Barbara’s sister Kathy for working with me to tell Barbara’s story.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Barbara Cotton, please contact:

Case Uncovered is a part of the non-profit The Reignited Project. I founded The Reignited Project, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting families of the missing and murdered through advocacy, education, and resources. After walking through a missing persons case within my own family, that mission became even more personal. We are now developing the Linda Brown Advocacy Protocol, a trauma-informed initiative designed to help families navigate the early stages of a missing persons case with clarity and support.
