Barbara Glueckert has been missing thirty-four years.
Almost to the hour as well.
Barbara you are not forgotten.

Because a further location has not been ruled out, I am adding a link to the thread in the UID section regarding some skeletal remains determined to be human and believed to be 'very old'. What exactly LE means by 'very old' I don't know.
However since the detective who is currently handling Barbara's case specifically mentioned the primary suspect in her case was known to camp along rivers, I wanted to ensure these remains were not missed. While they are probably a long shot, I thought I would add anyway.

Also, Barbara's case file at NamUs indicates both dentals and dna are unavailable. Hopefully the detective has access to both, or dna and just omitted entering that information into NamUs.
While looking at NamUs I found another case which might be determined to be Barbara.
On August 7, 2012 the Jackson County Sheriff's Office recovered partial skeletal remains along a remote stretch of the Mississippi River north of Grand Tower, IL. The bones consist of a partial mandible, the right tibia, and the right clavicle. No other evidence was located. An anthropologist from Southern Illinois University believes the remains are that of a female of unknown ancestry, between 18 and 23 years old, 5'3" to 5'8" tall. She believes the post mortem period to be between 5 and 25 years with at least part of that time spent in burial.

The NamUs case file indicates a dna profile is not yet available.
Dentals are available. Barbara is a little below the age range but the rest of the info appears to fit so parking this info here to keep an eye on this case.
My name is Nicole Glueckert and I would have been Barbara's niece, if she were still with us.
I stumbled upon this site last night after a conversation I had with my Dad, (spurred on by the Cleveland abductions) and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted here... Barbara is still a large part of our lives and to know that others feel the same is huge. I had no idea others cared so deeply.
Thank you!!!

An article from last summer. I just saw this now.
The ripple effects of Barbara Glueckert's disappearance remain unabated by time

Excellent article written by a reporter who was involved with this case when it first broke. Barbara's family and the detective currently working the case are both quoted in the article. As is at least one of the detectives who originally worked the case.
Well worth the read, it brought tears to my eyes. If only all LE were this dedicated. This article is the first I got to know a little about Barbara's family. The comments from her brother are amazing, looking at the positives that have come from this case, despite his sister not yet being found.
We will keep looking until Barbara is found!
