Police initially looked hard at a member of Barbara's family because her body was found 40 miles outside of town but just about a mile from a parcel of land owned by this family member. There have been many that have tied an ex-con named Richard Kolling to Barbara's murder. Kolling was in the area at the time and knew many members of Barbara's family.
