In our newest 'Montana Murder Mysteries' podcast, a 30-year-old cold case out of Missoula has been solved and almost to the exact day of the victim's death. It's a story Montana Right Now first brought to you as "Breaking News" at the end of September, as the Missoula County Sheriff's Office Cold Case Unit determined who was responsible for the stabbing death of a transient man back in 1992. The victim's name? William Timothy Adams. What makes this case interesting is just how the Cold Case Unit was first alerted to it after all these years and how the suspected murderer, who had a lengthy criminal history that included attempted murder, was named. It's one of five cold cases the Missoula County Sheriff's Office has cleared up, since it was established three years ago.
The focus of our next 'Montana Murder Mystery dates back 45 years. And today, it is Yellowstone County's oldest unsolved cold case. Saturday, February 5, 19-77, emergency dispatchers received a frantic phone call from the owner of a local helicopter company. He told dispatchers that a couple alerted him that while out walking on Jellison Road near the city of Billings' landfill, they found a woman's cold, lifeless, dead body. The victim? 21-year-old Ruth Lori Ballew, who was known to be a local prostitute of Billings. Almost five decades later, despite a man who admitted to taking money from her and a "confession" from another man, this murder continues to unnerve investigators.
BREAKING NEWS: Another cold case has been solved as the Missoula County Sheriff's Office says that they now know who killed a transient almost 30 years ago to the day. On September 13, 1992, a partially buried body was discovered in an area of Missoula known as "Orange Avenue Ranch" or "Peace Tree Camp." Detectives were able to determine the victim was William T. Adams and had been murdered, based off of his injuries. No suspect was ever found during the initial investigation. Until today.
In the Season 7 Premiere of ‘Montana Murder Mysteries,’ this cold case victim’s story begins humbly in the Treasure State of Montana. But it ends tragically in the Lone Star State of Texas. 22-year-old Jennifer Servo had just started her first television news reporting job in Abilene, Texas when she was found dead in the bathtub of her second-story apartment. She suffered multiple blunt force injuries to her head. Today, 20 years have come and gone with family, friends and law enforcement never really knowing what happened to their beloved Jennifer.

This cold case dates all the way back to 1983, after Royal Canadian Mounted Police discovered the body of a man buried in a shallow grave. And while this agency was investigating a murder, another in the United States, in New Jersey, had been looking for this person after he went missing in 1981. His name? Theodore Frederick Kampf. And the mystery into this man's disappearance and homicide only grew more bizarre when his truck was found abandoned in a remote part of Southwest Montana, making it the Season 6 Finale of 'Montana Murder Mysteries.'

Host Angela Marshall brings a BONUS 'Montana Murder Mysteries' podcast episode. It's an episode that she said she wanted to bring you, because so many people reached out to her following the release of our 2-part podcast series, "Who Killed Russell Turcotte?" Dear friends of Russell wanted to share their memories of him. And the best way for her to share Russell's story with you in the hopes of garnering new information in his cold case is to share their stories. Here's the uninterrupted conversation she had with Mike Dunning, Russel's best friend, along with others who shared memories of him.
'Montana Murder Mysteries' first brought the unsolved murder of a 19-year-old Wolf Point, Montana man two weeks ago. Russell Turcotte's father, William Turcotte, has been tortured with the unknowing of who murdered his son for the past two decades. Three years would pass before Russell's family would receive their first clue into who could have been responsible in his killing. It's name many of you are sure to recognize— now-deceased sex offender and murderer, Joseph Duncan. And it's also in this second episode that Podcast Host Angela Marshall speaks with William about how they found themselves embroiled in the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons crisis years before the movement began.
He was a more-than-friendly Native American musician, who loved the outdoors and loved to travel. But Russell Turcotte, a 19-year-old free spirit from Wolf Point, Montana, would never live to dance at an upcoming family wedding. Just weeks before he was set to attend the nuptuals in Montana in the summer of 2002, he was making his way back from a Rainbow Gathering in Michigan when he went missing in North Dakota. Nearly four months later, he was found dead. For the past two decades, family and friends have found themselves frustrated with what they say was a lack of effort to find their loved one. In Part One of 'How Exactly Was Russell Turcotte Killed?" Angela Marshall dives into his disappearance, the day he was found murdered and the emotional battle his father has endured.
A cold case victim known for nearly two decades as 'Cliff John Doe' and later 'Marion John Doe.' That is, until just recently. In accordance with the mission of the 'Montana Murder Mysteries' podcast, Angela Marshall is sharing his story and those of David Milek, Darlene Wilcock and John Michael Crites once again to either bring you new information on the investigations or to breathe new life into the investigations.
