    Seems like some really lousy police work. It sounds like they were there for the girl who was supposed to be working that day.

    The cop and his brother. The Police should finally properly investigate the brother before he dies too. That man is such a lier. "What was her name?" - Oh, really :(

    Several witnesses, 2 pieces of clothes, several suspects, small town and still not solved case. That is surprising.

    Such a brilliant documentary maker. Needs an award on documentary making. Clear voices and sensitive music that doesn’t drown the dialogue. In-depth views from the family and investigators. My heart goes out to the family and friends.

    Sounds like two guys that were not professionals and they took her for information about maybe a store safe or how to get more money from the store. They probably then just killed her cause she could identify them

    People don’t let your single daughters go out and get a job where they’re going to be a target where they’re just it’s not worth it. Don’t let them do that and I personally don’t think single daughters should be living in their own apartment so I think we should give them the freedom to do their adult life where they’re still living on dry roof and then when they meet somebody and they get married then that’s a safe thing.

    I'm sure it's been looked into, the staff Barbara stood in for? Did they maybe know something? Could they have been a connection to the perpetrators? Why would they take receipts and travellers check? How did they know about the safe in the ground?

    Those sketches and their photos it has to be Roland and Jeff. Roland has unusual eyes and the sketch artist caught them perfectly.

    A very sad unsolved 40 year case of a young wife and mother. Hopefully soon we will be hearing the culprits names, and still alive to be prosecuted. I did not hear about any finger prints found at the scene. Especially the woman's bathroom. I'm sure he had to open the door to look around. And other places thief's would touch.

    Very sorry for the family and thank you for participating. . I think it was Ronald and Roland. They look like the sketches, have criminal history, know the victim and I get a bad vibe from them. I worked as a counselor for 15 years. Police have information and DNA, go investigate them again. Stop protecting these evil men. Ronald killed his brother and liked Barbara. Get off your ass and go talk to him again!

    Why haven’t they pulled DMV records from back then to cross reference trucks? What kind of trucks were between the 14 brothers or the barkers? Why haven’t they gone through traffick citation records from back then between both Countys??? There are so many avenues that they haven’t mentioned. Seems so many pigeon holes views here. Just my opinion. The authority’s seem to be playing hot potato with why the holes exist

    Here’s a good question…did the off duty policeman or his brother call from the police station to where Melba was to see if she was ok? Further, what was their demeanor when they got to the station? In a hurry, anxious, did they mention Melba?

    That is totally freaky that Bruce Barker is involved in all those dead bodies …hit n run…on or so close to his property! Plus he was a pedophile convicted of possessing familial porn. The 6 yr old boy who was killed supposedly by a a hit n run was probably a victim of his. This case has way too many oddities/coincidences not not be planned evil!!

    Who thinks it extremely odd the owners of the store never had any contact w Barbara’s family , showed up @ the store, or helped in the search? I think they were into something over their heads & Barbara found out so they had to take care of her, just making it look like a burglary.

    It's unbelievable how many people saw these two guys and the truck, so many witnesses, and it still wasn't solved!! Hopefully the monsters that did this spent most of their lives in prison for other crimes and at least didn't get to live theirs free. RIP Barbara. I hope her family gets answers soon.
