15-year-old Barbara Louise Cotton vanished from the streets of Williston, North Dakota, on April
11, 1981, five blocks from her home. What happened to Barbara Cotton?

In episode 1, while others called Barbara a 'runaway', a frustrated yet unyielding Sandee Evanson refuses to stop looking for her childhood friend.

A Better Search for Barbara is a deep, investigative dive into one of North Dakota's longest
running cold cases.
