  Cyndi catches an error in the day’s true-crime calendar and uncovers a much bigger story: the suspected crimes of Wayne Nance, the “Missoula Mauler.” In 1986, Nance attacked Doug and Kris Wells inside their Montana home—but a badly wounded Doug escaped, loaded a rifle with his only available round and fought back. Nance’s death opened the door to investigations involving Donna Pounds, Devonna Nelson, Marci Bachmann, Janet Lucas, and murdered couple Michael and Teresa Shook. Cyndi separates what investigators could actually connect to Nance from the murders in which he remains only a suspect.
