Wayne Nance did not have a perfect childhood but neither do a lot of us. He was smart and somehow got himself through highschool and graduated. He joined the military but was "generally" discharged due to having contraband like drugs and knives. Little did we know he had already commited one of the most brutal murders of the mother of a friend. After his own death evidence connecting him to this murder was found in his possessions.

His victims some of which he is only the person of interest due to not having enough evidence include but are not limited to:

Donna Pounds, 39, mother of Nance's friend: 4/11/1974

Devonna Louise Nelson, 15, 2/27/1980

Marcella Cheri Bachman, 16, 12/24/1984

Janet Lee Lucas, 23, 9/11/1985

Michael Shook 34, and Teresa Shook, 32, December 2, 1985 (Husband and wife that Nance had delivered a couch)

Doug and Kristin Wells, 9/3/1986, the Wells' survived only due to Doug Wells will to live. Nance met his match here and died the following day taking many of his secrets with him.

It is assured that Nance committed more murders when he was traveling during his military service and others he was able to commit and distance himself from. If YOU know anything about any unsolved homicides in or around Missoula Montana please contact the Missoula PD at (406) 552-6300
