March 11th Murders

A man. A woman. Not related. No clear connections. Except, perhaps, one. Their deaths were discovered in the same month on the same day in Yellowstone County, Montana. On March 11th, 1986, the body of 20-year-old Benjamin Burns was found just east of Billings, along Pryor Creek Road close to Interstate 94. He had been shot, twice, in the head. Nine years later, on March 11th, 1995, the body of 48-year-old Judy Hatton was found by her boyfriend in her Laurel home. She had been badly beaten to death. And their cold cases are the latest to be uncovered in our "Montana Murder Mysteries" podcast.
