On Saturday, September 21, 1996, 15-year-old Danielle Houchins left her home in Belgrade and drove out to Cameron Bridge Fishing Access. She would not return home alive, launching an investigation that remains unsolved 25 years later.
Several hours after she went missing, Danielle was found by family friends, murdered, under a willow tree in a marshy area of Cameron Bridge. The position of her body and other evidence told detectives she was dragged and hidden there.
The Montana State Crime Lab performed an autopsy that confirmed evidence of sexual assault and foreign DNA.
