Barbara Bordeaux Randall is listed in NamUs as a missing person under case MP99329. She was 19 years old when she was last known to be in Rapid City, South Dakota, on January 11, 1984. NamUs identifies her as an American Indian / Alaska Native woman, and public listings place her last known location in Rapid City, in Pennington County. The available public information is limited, but the core fact repeated across online missing-person sources is that Barbara’s last known contact was in Rapid
City on that date.
Barbara’s physical description is given as approximate. SpotCrime’s Rapid City missing-persons listing, which links back to NamUs, lists her as 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing between 150 and 165 pounds. She is described as having brown hair and brown eyes. The International Missing Persons Wiki also describes her as Native American, female, 19 years old at the time she disappeared, with brown hair and brown eyes.
The publicly available circumstances are sparse and leave many unanswered questions for those who care about Barbara and want her story remembered. NamUs states only that Barbara was last known to be in Rapid City, South Dakota, and that her height and weight are approximate. No public NamUs summary located in the online sources reviewed provides a detailed account of where she was going, who she was with, what she was wearing, or what may have happened after she was last known to be in Rapid City.
Barbara’s case has remained visible in online missing-person databases decades after her disappearance. A SpotCrime listing for Rapid City missing persons includes Barbara among other missing individuals connected to the area and lists her case number as MP99329. The Doe Network’s public update page states that “5460DFSD - Barbara Bordeaux Randall” was added as a case for a person missing from South Dakota since 1984, showing that her case has continued to be circulated by missing-person advocacy and case-indexing resources.
What stands out most about Barbara Randall’s case is how little has been made public despite the long passage of time. She was a young Indigenous woman whose disappearance from Rapid City has endured for more than four decades in public records, yet the available online sources provide only basic identifying details and the location and date of last known contact. In the absence of fuller public information, Barbara should be remembered not as a sparse case file, but as a young woman whose life mattered, whose family and community deserve answers, and whose disappearance remains worthy of continued attention.Last Seen: Jan 11, 1984
