Description

Today... A Montezuma County grand jury indicted thirty-eight-year-old Rachel Leonard for the 2022 death of her five-year-old daughter Annika, alleging she suffocated the child after a custody dispute, though her defense is challenging the evidence ahead of an October plea hearing.

And later... Shepherd’s Hand and the Lighthouse shelter have merged under one leadership to pool resources, secure funding, and continue serving Montrose’s growing unhoused population.
