In this episode, we dive into the chilling and mysterious deaths of two elderly women at Riverside Health Care Center in Missoula, Montana, in 1990. Bertha Scott, an 85-year-old Alzheimer’s patient, was found dead in her bed in May, with initial reports suggesting natural causes. But nearly two months later, 87-year-old Nancy Lagerquist was discovered brutally murdered, her body found in the Clark Fork River after she went missing from the same facility. What initially seemed like isolated incidents soon began to unravel into a sinister pattern, revealing that both women had been victims of violent assaults. As detectives piece together the eerie clues—an open window, a suspicious man seen near the facility, and a mysterious DNA profile—they race against time to uncover the truth. Was there a connection between these two deaths, and if so, who did it? Join us as we explore this unresolved case that continues to haunt Missoula.
