Siblings hoping for answers in 1973 disappearance of New Jersey teen Jan Cotta
On June 26, 1973, the 19-year-old vanished from Wall Township, New Jersey.

I remember watching her ride at the local shows - hunter jumper rider who won many classes. One time she rode with a cast on her arm (maybe broken) in a jumper class and she won. She was a passionate horse person and I cannot imagine her living without horses - leaving her horses behind. Maybe someone might recognize her so her family will find closure.

Before my time. But it didn't seem promising

Interesting. I’ve never heard about this, being from the Midwest. If she willingly disappeared, at some point in her life you’d think she would have contacted siblings. My guess, from watching many hours of Law & Order, is that the boyfriend murdered her.
