Barbara Jean Paciotti, 20, vanished on June 14, 1969, while visiting her parents in Hibbing, Minnesota. She was last seen near Sammy’s Pizza in downtown Hibbing getting into a car driven by her boyfriend, Jeffrey Dolinich. The couple argued in the car; Dolinich later said he left her and woke up in Mora with no memory of what happened to her.

Police searching Dolinich’s vehicle found Paciotti’s purse with a broken strap and her identification inside. Investigators also noted muddied clothing in his apartment and that a pair of his pants had been removed by his mother before they could be collected. Dolinich sent a letter to Paciotti’s family saying he had hit her, feared she might be dead, and could not recall what followed. Large searches turned up no trace of Barbara, and no charges were filed for lack of physical evidence. Her family held a memorial service in 2008.

Does anyone in the Hibbing area remember seeing Barbara or her car on or after June 14, 1969, or have information about Dolinich’s movements that night?
