One morning in January of 1974, a young schoolteacher didn’t show up to her rural Montana classroom for the day, and the police were called to investigate. When her body was found in a field nearby, police arrested a new town resident, and it was quickly suspected that he was involved in another murder in a neighboring state. This is the story of Lana Harding, as well as Debra Prety.
