Episode 152 Danielle Houchins Parts 1 & 2

In 1996, Danielle “Danni” Houchins was an outdoorsy 15 year old growing up in Belgrade MT. The new driver went for a solo hike at her favorite recreation area outside town, the West Cameron Bridge fishing access site, on a fall Saturday.  She did not come home. Searchers found her body face down in inches of swampy water.  The ME, coroner and sheriff ruled her death a drowning.  But the manner of death was labeled undetermined… even though injuries to Danni’s person, and forensic evidence, said otherwise.  And thus began the nearly 30 year quest for justice for Danni.  Thanks to a committed new sheriff, a dogged old-school investigator, Danni’s family, and the miracles of modern science, the beloved teen finally got the recognition she deserved, and a form of justice that everyone could live with – except her killer.
