The witness was so troubled by the frightened expression on Barbara's face that he called Crime Stoppers.

Anybody else think it is strange that the witness calls crime stoppers instead of 911 or the local police?

''BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - It has been exactly 13 years, since Barbara Blount vanished from her home in Holden, and now the case has gone cold.

Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office investigators hope that by getting her story back out, it will trigger someone to come forward with information.

They do believe foul play was involved.

Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard says, ‘It’s frustrating. What happened to her? This is one of those cases that sticks with you. I think we all – including the family – just want answers and we don’t intend to stop until we get some.’

Call Crimestoppers of the Sheriff’s Office if you have any information.

Bump for Barbara

I listened to her story on Woody Overton's podcast years ago. I don't listen to him anymore (that mouth of his) but he did a good job of getting her case out there. I try to keep up with her. It's like the rain washed away all traces of this crime. Who did this to this well-loved lady?
