At 11:00 a.m. on November 6, 2001, a customer arrived at the Hair Gallery salon in Florence, Montana, for her appointment with owner Dorothy Harris. As she walked up, she noticed a man in a dark suit and a hat - described as either a fedora or a stovepipe - in front of the salon.

She didn’t think much of it until she stepped inside and discovered a horrific scene. Dorothy, her employee Brenda Patch, and their customer Cynthia Paulus had all been brutally murdered.

When investigators heard about the man in the hat, they believed he was likely the killer. But despite multiple sketches and an intensive search, he has never been identified. More than 20 years later, the murders of Dorothy, Brenda, and Cynthia remain unsolved, and investigators are still searching for the person, or people, responsible.

If you have any information in this case, please call the Ravalli County Sheriff’s Office at (406) 363-3033.
