Summary

The 1981 disappearance of Barbara Cotton remains unsolved, but the violent history of Frank J. Delapena raises chilling questions.

Like person of interest Stacey Werder, Delapena died by suicide in jail. A Better Search for Barbara continues its real crime investigation into one of North Dakota’s darkest unsolved mysteries.
