Thank you for your podcast! My son Michael Erickson sent me the link. A few years ago when he was with GPD he told me that they had just solved a 40 year old case. I said was it the girl who was murdered at MHCC? I was 19 years old when Barbara died and every time I drove by the school on Kane I would think about her running out into traffic trying to fight for her life. To learn the murderer was 16 years old at the time was such a shock! Thank you for your diligence to solve this case for her family and for those who remember.
