| The second case assigned to the Cold Case Cowboys was
the 1988 disappearance of Barbara Joy Gallagher, (Barbi). Barbi went missing
in October of 1988 and subsequently missed events and family contacts that
she had never missed before. Although her body was never found, the case
was solved and closed, according to the U.S. Justice Departments' uniform
crime reporting guidelines. Our investigation provided the District Attorney's
Office with the probably cause to believe that Robert Barr, Barbi's boyfriend
at the time of her disappearance, was responsible for her death. If Barr
was still alive he could be arrested and charged with the murder of Barbara
Gallagher. Barr committed suicide in Lake Tahoe, CA in April, 2001. |
