A young woman vanished after a night out in downtown Missoula, last seen walking with an ex-boyfriend whose history with her included years of escalating violence, controlling behavior, and conflicting stories about their final hours together. In the days that followed, her phone stopped responding, her social media went silent, and records later showed her device pinging near the remote, forested area where he lived. As investigators uncovered shifting accounts, broken evidence, and a trail of past assaults, searches of his property revealed blood traces and firearms he was legally barred from possessing, yet no definitive proof of her fate. Despite a prolonged investigation that ultimately stalled, she was never found, and the case moved into a no‑body homicide inquiry centered on the last person seen with her.
