It’s been almost nine years since the body of Bruce Cotton was discovered inside his vehicle in rural south Caddo Parish.

On February 29, 2004, two boys who were fishing in the area found Cotton’s Olds 98 pulled to the shoulder of White Springs Road. Inside was Cotton’s body. It had been three days since 51-year-old carpenter was last seen by his family who filed a missing persons report on February 27.

Though the ninth anniversary of his murder is nearing, Caddo Sheriff’s detectives are still actively working his case and are seeking information from the public.

“Any information is welcome,” said Detective Terry Richardson. “No matter how small it may seem, it may be the piece that completes this puzzle or advances this investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Richardson at 675-2170 or call Crime Stoppers at 673-7373.
