Summary

The unsolved 1981 disappearance of Barbara Cotton continues to raise chilling questions. Episode 5, Please Tell Mom I Love Her, recounts a Montana jailhouse call from Barbara’s mysterious boyfriend. His sister Lora, only 15 at the time, remembers his unsettling message: “Please tell Mom I love her.” This story surfaces decades later, revealing unspoken testimony in one of North Dakota’s most troubling true crime cases of a missing person turned unsolved murder.
