- Wife Vanished in 1984 - The Cold Case of Barbara Rushton
Chaos Divers takes on the case of Barbara Rushton
Case Details:
Barbara Rushton left her home on Old Forest Road in Vestavia Hills on August 29, 1984, to play cards with friends. Her husband watched her drive away in her white 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit, and a short while later her friends called to say she hadn't arrived. Her husband called police, and a search was launched for her and her car. Neither has ever been found. Authorities interviewed family, friends, and co-workers and dug deep into her life. She had resigned her job. Co-workers told investigators they had seen her and her husband arguing the day before she disappeared. He daughter told investigators that her mother wasn't behaving normally before she left for her card game - she had a blank stare and was upset and crying. Over the next days and weeks, authorities did ground and aerial searches. Authorities flagged Barbara Rushton's Social Security number, but it has never again been used, nor have any of her credit cards. About $4,000 in her bank account also went untouched.
Because she was a type-one diabetic who didn't have her insulin when she left home, some think she might thought she might have wandered away in a diabetic amnesia. She was eventually declared dead. (Information retrieved from NamUs.gov)

the perseverance it takes to put the work in for these cold cases is not easy- but those moments where all the hard work brings answers to a family who have been waiting for years.. sometimes decades like this one.. makes it all worth it. the rain couldnt stop us this day and as a team we overcame many obstacles to search these waterways in search of barbara. thank you for watching and supporting our efforts to help these families.
Miss seeing you Josh
God bless you our earth ANGELS
Josh I am surprised by your work here on this thank you for keeping it like other older chaos videos but tweeked in a good and very respectful way, kinda miss Lindsay's commentary explaining stuff though lol, but very nice video
Josh your editing and filming and personality are so amazing yourll bring great attributes to the team 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great message Josh the Cinematographer, diver and humanitarian. You my friend with Jacob and Lindsay are doing God's work. You belong with Jacob and Lindsay Josh.
You can tell it's a Juke production. Josh, you rock. Guys. You all are heroes. Thank you.
😊😊😊 thank you dave
Yes, awesome work Josh!
100%
Not even 17 seconds in and you can totally tell.
❤absolutely can. I was in aww just saying wow what a beautiful video. Just perfection. It add so much to these stories. I'm so thankful for all y'all do
Don't think for a minute that all your efforts are not appreciated. Because of people like you, many families have finally been able to start the healing process since their missing loved ones have been found. A profound THANK YOU all, and a huge THANK YOU to the viewers and supporters of this channel. You are the ones that help make these searches possible.

Praying Barbara is found. How difficult for her family to never have answers! Talk to each other. If you see someone struggling, ask them what’s going on and help them find professional help.
In a culture of connectedness via the Internet and technological advancements, it seems less and less likely that a person could disappear or vanish without a trace. That same connectedness has also caused people mental issues as they are barraged by factual information and opinions disguised as factual information. People are still trying to sort out and make some sense of normality from the last three years of life. It is grievous when a person disappears and they become no more than a name on a missing persons list. It is a blessing when people are willing to step into someone else's life to create resolution for families. Someone to say that a person is more than a name on a list but that they have value and worth. This missing person should be known for the effect and affect they had on others and the world.
Truth very well said, thank you ..
Thank you Jacob, Lindsay and Britton for your hard work and persistence in trying to bring closure to these families of the missing. Thank you for acknowledging Dennis and Tammi Watters, especially Dennis and keeping his legacy alive. Sorry you had a dead battery, good prep for having another one! Thanks Josh for going with the team to up the video aspect, hope you find her!
I’m so happy the Waters thought of you both to continue their work of finding other missing people. Blessings abound!
Thanks Josh Cantu starting to feel like family again
Jacob, I had mentioned to Josh C about you getting a dive flag to put on Little Buddy so it could be seen at a distance from other boats. I just thought it might be a good idea, just to keep it from getting run over by other boats. Don't know if it would help. But, it sure can't hurt. A 40 year old case is going to be rough. But if anyone can pull it off, you can. Good luck and be safe.
Jacob , Lindsay , Britain and Josh , I am so very proud of you guys for all that you have done and continue to do in your searches for the missing.
Great video Josh. I hope someday Ms. Rushton is found! Great work Jacob, Brit, Lindsay and Josh. Looking forward to Part 2!
Looking forward to watching this without the background noise of retail work. Thank you for what ya do.
I love watching you guys, Lindsay is great at telling the story about the families.
Yes, I think Lindsay's voice and cadence is the best narrator on TH-cam❣️ Love ya, love your channel
Thank you so much for all you and your colleagues do and congratulations on hitting almost 200,000 subscribers ♥️
Thank y'all for coming to Alabama to look for Barbara Rushton. Prayers that one day soon she is located and her family can finally have answers.
May the memories of love outweigh the grief of loss.
You guys are doing the movement justice. Shame it got a huge set back and black mark but you are rising above. Glad you picked up Josh and Brit.
I found you guys by subscribing to AWP. After the news regarding that group, I have decided to shift my membership, and my loyalty is now with you all. Thank you for what you and I like how you don't mention money and donations consistently during every episode. Great work.
I AM still Watching 👌😊.
Really like the fact that you had Josh Cantu helping you.
So glad to see Josh Cantù is working with you!!!! Keep doing what you do!!! You’re all amazing!!!!❤❤❤❤
Great work!! You all make an Amazing team!! Josh, Lindsay, Jacob, and Britton!! God bless you and your endeavors!!❤🚤🎽📹🌊🥰🏞⚓
One of my puppies is off to be a search and rescue dog in California!!! I'm so excited!!! Tha gal had one of his great, great uncles prior.
We are right down the road in Sylacauga, Alabama. I have been watching you all for quite a while. I love that you two work together and help families find answers. ❤
This is so amazing to be able to help these people. This is about 2 hours from us.
I didn't realize Dennis had passed away😔 he seemed like such a sweet man, and he was definitely created for these searches. Prayers to his wife and family ❤️
As for you guys, I'm so happy I decided to start watching your channel, I had originally thought I was done with this content after the disgrace, disgust, and genuine let down I felt from another... but I decided to give it a shot because I do very deeply care about what you guys do for these families and the environment. And all I can say is I'm extremely glad I followed my damned sappy heart and started watching 😂😂 it's paid off immensely (simply by restoring a little bit of my faith in humanity, not to mention all the actual food you do for the world!) and I appreciate all the effort you all put in and that you are genuine, trustworthy, god-fearing people. Keep on keepin' on, I'm definitely here for the long haul now!
Josh loving your production with them, they are lucking to have you
I love Josh’s production work, he’s the best!!
So glad to see Josh back out assisting chaos divers. Keep looking guys.
Hello #chaos divers and @lindsay, I've been missing you! Looking forward to this.
👋Keep it going, Mr. Jacob💯👍💯👍and a shout out to Linsey, Josh & Britton‼️KUDOS TO YOU ALL, COLD WEATHER 😵💫
Hi Josh, I like seeing all of you.
Love you guys ❤ Linsey, you should be proud. You are well spoken, and I know you ALL care about these cases. Keep it up. I am sure spreading the information is a giant help for these family's.
Great video Jacob really liked this one
You are all amazing 💞. It’s surprising how many areas near bodies of water have no barriers in place.
It's something the local dive clubs and search teams should have an eye on when they train , not enough time given to look at these locations where roads and bodies of water pass close to each other
Great content and photography!! Loved it!
Thanks pops
❤😊 keep up all the good work 👏
You guys just blow me away, the amazing work you do and the answers for so many people, you are truly a god send, keep diving guys.
Great job, Josh. Hope to see more of Chaos DIvers and Josh Cantu working together.
The little buddy looks awesome. You guys are awesome.
Excellent video. Concise, amazing narration, editing and filming. The drone shots are beautiful.
A water drone! Clever! I've heard you refer to "Little Buddy" before but did not realize what it was.
I know that this was commented on a month ago, I'm just now getting to see this. Lindsey, you and Jacob are such a humble team, and to have Britain and Josh helping. This family will get more of an idea where she's not. 💝🙏🙏🙏🙏💝 Wrapping you all in Prayer, and we love y'all too ❤️
Hello to all of you. Thank you for your continued searching for missing people
I love it when you narrate Lindsey.
Thank you all for everything you do!!
I'm so proud to be a supporter of this amazing team of heroes.
I am extremely proud of each and every one of you and your contributions to this magical journey of hope! Never stop! 🤗
Your talents and compassionate gifts are needed desperately by so many. For some, you and your incredible group of diving friends, are the only hope these families have left! Don't give up!
As always, superb work guys! 👍🏼 And beautifully produced video too! 😍Thank you all! ❤
Jacob, Lindsay, Brit and Josh. All the searching of various waters and finding them empty is another place that can be marked off as where Ms. Rushton is not and that can be a relief to the family too. Hope one day soon she is found and returned to her family. Keep doing a fantastic job in your search, sonar and recovery. Take care and see you on the next one.
Bless you guys trying to give answers to the family members in these cases .
So nice to see Josh working with you 😁😁. Keep searching and teaming up ❤️
Y'all are doing the thing the way it was meant to be done! No hype.. all humanity! Bless you and everybody involved in the mission that understands what the mission is truly about!
Hi 👋 Lindsay, Jacob, Britain, and Josh. I am just shocked at the amount of missing persons. I am relieved to know y'all are out there with trying to find them.
I wish I could donate to help y'all out but I can't keep up the good work team love watching you help others God bless you all
Just watching and supporting is more than we could ever hope for. Thank you
Good work guys. The production on this video was amazing.
Thank you to all of you, Jacob, Lindsay, Brit, and Josh!!! You make a great team to go out and search for missing people!!! You are a great blessing to these families! I'm praying the Barbara Rushton is found soon! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
So good to see you continuing this great cause together, incredible work by Josh and very glad to see Britt involved.
Thank you for everything you put into each one of these missing loved ones cases. You are amazing! Be safe and take care of yourselves!
Awe man I haven't had access to the internet for about 6 months and I am trying to catch up And I am deeply saddened by the death of Dennis Watters my Condolences to you guys and the Watters family and friends. Also this is my first time seeing and learning about Lil' Buddy what an freakin awesome Tool for you guys.
You are all so inspiring! ❤🇧🇻
Oh man, I've missed Josh's storytelling with a video camera. So glad to see him working with you.
Even if you haven't found anything yet. Ruling out the places you have searched help family so much because driving past all those locations I'm sure they always wonder and worry. Thank you for doing this. So many people where I am locally are still missing and it just really baffles you wondering.
What a beautiful team whom never give up on searching for lost loved ones and deserve all the recognition for what they do and josh your videography is second to none what a gift you have the way you put it all together shows it has your stamp on it thank you for working with chaos divers and Brit I’m sure you appreciate them as much as they appreciate you may god bless all of you for your work ❤️👌👍
