Today’s episode takes us back to 1974 and two tragic cases that shocked their communities.

In Pondera County, Montana, Lana Harding was a dedicated teacher at Pioneer School, a one-room schoolhouse with only five students. She lived in the teacherage—a small housing accommodation provided by the school—just 13 miles northeast of Conrad. Her life, filled with promise and service, was cut short under heartbreaking circumstances.

We’ll also visit Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where 15-year-old Debra Prety’s life was stolen as she walked home from a school dance in her own neighborhood. Decades later, Debra’s case remains unsolved, and her loved ones still seek answers.

If you have any information regarding Debra’s case, please contact:
