00:00:00
[Music] not a day since I was 12 years old have I not thought about my sister Dany that day in September of
00:00:21
1996 Dany disappeared my name is Stephanie Danny was my older sister mom Danny was 15 years old the
00:00:37
kind of older sister that every little sister looks up to nice stuff sorry Dad are sitting there he's like come on
00:00:44
let's try she was upset with my parents and needed some space to herself Danielle had gone out to Cameron
00:00:54
bridge and she was familiar with this area absolutely Danny didn't return home and
00:01:01
mother grew deeply concerned and so she and one of her friends drove out to Cameron bridge to
00:01:09
see what was going on my mom and her friend walked around calling Danny's name and called the sheriff's department
00:01:16
and reported her missing and a search party was being pulled together everybody's calling out
00:01:25
her name yep so if you were out here you can hear them in the distance Danny Danny right yep if she's out here we
00:01:31
just want her to come home 615 7:30 to 8 started to get dark enough to where I called off the
00:01:40
search family friends came out after dark that was about 9:30 when the dispatcher called me and said they found
00:01:50
her body how were you informed that Danny was gone I was at home my dad came home
00:02:00
home and told my mom and I I could hear him telling her that Danny was gone and she said I know they'll they're going to
00:02:08
look again in the morning as soon as it's light they'll be back out there looking for they're going to find her
00:02:12
they're going to find her and he said no honey they're they're they found her she's
00:02:24
gone she was strong and she was Brave and she was everything I looked up to being 656 to the fishing game at Cameron
00:02:41
Bridge go ahead law enforcement didn't tell my family a lot in 1996 there was never a doubt in my mind
00:02:53
that someone killed this 15-year-old girl from the instant you saw her body moment I saw her
00:03:02
15-year-old girls don't die in the swamps at night it took almost 30 years but I had
00:03:11
to know I spent 27 years on the Los Angeles Police Department and when I retired I
00:03:19
moved here to Boseman Montana what did you think of the original investigation into Danny's
00:03:30
death oh it was it was terrible it was terrible so I know where the body was there is zero doubt in my
00:03:39
mind that they lied to my family I told Stephanie I will solve this case Stephanie I promised myself I promised
00:03:50
my sister I'm coming for you Danny I never would have guessed how this ended [Music]
00:04:42
[Music] it was the end of September 1996 a Saturday night a fishing area just outside of Boseman Montana
00:05:00
a place of Tranquility until this night a few miles up a rural Highway near the small town of
00:05:11
Belgrade Searchers discovered the body of 15-year-old Danny hin what brought your sister Dany down to this area back
00:05:21
on September 21st 1996 that morning uh we had kind of a family spat Stephanie molette was Danny's little sister and so
00:05:31
she got 15-year-old mad about it and needed some space and some time and she had her driver's license now people
00:05:39
wonder how does a 15-year-old get a driver's license in the state of Montana in 1996 you actually got your driver's
00:05:45
license at 15 she was a very proud driver so she hops into her Chevy pickup truck and why would she come to this
00:05:53
place if she wanted to just kind of take a break it's peaceful after Danny's pickup truck was located a
00:06:03
sheriff's posy had searched this Wilderness for Dany until it got too dark but that same night two brothers
00:06:11
friends of the hin family refused to call it quits so they came down this very path
00:06:19
at night with their flashlights that's right they would across this bridge right somehow in the dense muddy woods
00:06:27
they found her body the body I believe Peter was right in this area when she was found right in
00:06:35
here yes Keith farquar then a Gallatin County Sheriff's deputy was the first officer on the scene in the first hours
00:06:43
after Danny was found no one was really sure what had happened to her did this look like an accident scene or something
00:06:52
else something entirely different there's nothing here then or now that would suggest a
00:07:01
15-year-old girl should all of a sudden be faced down in a small amount of water
00:07:05
and mud and be dead she's a mountain kid and is it possible to put into words the shock and horror of that
00:07:16
moment it's like everything you um knew doesn't exist anymore um to not understand how that could have
00:07:28
happened and to just feel a gaping hole in your whole being relle shro went to school with
00:07:47
Stephanie and Dany and I always thought Stephanie and Danny were super cool Danny was like my friend's cool older
00:07:55
sister they were the most downto Earth friendly people the sisters love the Montana
00:08:02
Wilderness she is pretty this is like a nature playground out here and our family we just played a
00:08:11
classic Montana girl right she could fish she hiked she could ski and Danny was smart she loved
00:08:21
science she was so interested in the way that the world worked and she had a sense of humor right uh yeah
00:08:30
[Music] Isn't She Lovely look at your lovely daughter here she was witty and she was funny and
00:08:38
everyone loved her Danny she'd make humor at her own expense see my nose here's my
00:08:51
eye how quickly did words spread that Dany had been found and that she was dead oh like wildfire
00:09:00
it was a lot of shock you know learning about Dany dying it came in stages you know there were
00:09:08
the rumors all of a sudden of somebody died initially I had just heard somebody drowned while Danny's Family was
00:09:17
awaiting an official cause of death everyone it seemed from first responder Keith farquar to folks all over town
00:09:25
were speculating about what had happened a small to Montana if you haven't heard
00:09:31
a rumor by 10:00 in the morning you're going to start one the rumor started flying of maybe it was a murder and then
00:09:38
we're all like what and if it was a murder who would want to end this young girl's life and
00:09:48
was there a killer on the loose it just was like this strange roller coaster of did someone should we
00:09:58
be worried as a community I think the rumor mill around Belgrade high school was ruthless there was so
00:10:06
much other speculation I remember thinking man what if what if just caused fear I tried to be
00:10:19
strong um Danny died on a Saturday and I tried to go back to school on Monday I thought
00:10:28
if um I thought that if I was strong then it'd be easier for my parents but within days the family's
00:10:44
grief would turn to heartbreaking shock when they heard the Sheriff's Department's jaw-dropping announcement
00:10:51
about how Dany died we just couldn't believe what they told us and didn't make any
00:11:15
sense just two days after the discovery of dany's body with the people of Belgrade Montana fearful and demanding
00:11:24
answers authorities released the partial findings of Danny's autopsy they did not say Danny was murdered her
00:11:33
manner of death was undetermined her family was dumbfounded they told us that she drowned and they
00:11:43
told us that it really could have been an accident the sheriff told the media that there were no Cuts or bruises on
00:11:50
dany's body and no indications of Foul Play she could have just tripped and fell we don't really know tripped and
00:11:59
fell uhhuh and as Avid experienced Outdoors people even at 12 you thought that was absurd
00:12:08
absurd what the family didn't know at the time was the coroner said Dany had inhaled both water and mud into her
00:12:16
Airways the family also didn't know that there were bruises and cuts on dany's body and signs of possible sexual
00:12:25
assault the sheriff back then Bill Slaughter told told us it is often common for investigators to withhold key
00:12:33
details to protect their investigations as they looked into potential suspects including people who
00:12:40
were close to Dany common sense says this girl was not an accidental death caught in the middle of this controversy
00:12:49
was Deputy Keith farquar then a young patrolman he was assigned to work with detectives on the case Keith spoke with
00:12:58
Danny's doctor he said there's nothing about her physical condition that would have prevented that girl from being able
00:13:04
to roll over in a few inches of water and mud to breathe if she had just Fallen if
00:13:11
this was an accident but when farquar tried to report the doctor's opinion to other
00:13:17
investigators I was pretty much ridiculed by the sheriff what did he say he said what
00:13:26
does a doctor know and that that statement sticks in my mind to this day the former Sheriff Bill Slaughter
00:13:35
denies farquar's allegations he says farquar was a disgruntled employee and that his Department never ignored any
00:13:44
evidence Fed Up and disillusioned just 3 months after Danny's death farquar resigned from the sheriff's
00:13:54
office as years passed Danny's Family tried to accept that her might have been an accident as all that
00:14:02
time weeks to months to years go by and you have no answers what was that like traumatizing it was uh having a big
00:14:13
wound in your life and this big gap that was unexplainable and you somehow had to
00:14:20
find a way to heal without answers to live without resolution um to hope with no reason to
00:14:32
Hope until 24 years after Danny's death Matt boxme was the detective Sergeant with Gallatin County he took an
00:14:44
interest in Danny howchin and her family I found out that they really hadn't been
00:14:48
given much information back in 1996 regarding the investigation which is not uncommon with investigations you know
00:14:59
you don't openly talk about them with the family usually they had been told that she had fallen down and and drowned
00:15:05
it was marked as accidental boxmeer also found out that there had been several efforts over the years to get evidence
00:15:12
analyzed by the Montana State Crime Lab but after each attempt nothing no usable
00:15:19
DNA profile ever came back so he was starting from scratch meantime Stephanie decided to turn up the
00:15:29
pressure I had been calling the sheriff's department trying to get someone to talk to me about Danny's case
00:15:37
finally box Meyer and his bosses made a decision they deserved some answers they
00:15:44
told the family that Danny's death was no accident I shared with them that I believe that it was a homicide
00:15:52
homicide Stephanie then demanded to read the autopsy and look at the crime scene
00:15:58
photos [Music] I was so angry at the people who lied to my family and let my sister's murder
00:16:12
go unsolved but uninvestigated for all of these years I learned that rather than drowning on just
00:16:26
water Danny's head had been held down in the mud she had mud all the way down into her lungs and into her stomach
00:16:35
there was subcutaneous bruising on the back of her neck someone had held her head down forcefully there was vaginal
00:16:46
injuries there was seen in her underwear she had fought and scratched this is like a a nuclear bomb going off
00:16:55
emotionally I would think for this family and for you I remember asking them so you mean to tell me that in fact
00:17:03
my sister was raped and they said yes we believe she was raped I remember not being able to
00:17:17
breathe I remember feeling like I need to to puke in 2021 with dany's family now
00:17:25
knowing the explosive truth solving Danny's Mur would become a top priority for newly appointed Sheriff Dan Springer
00:17:34
you were rookie Deputy when this crime came down right yes 5 days after I started is when we found Danny's body
00:17:42
when you become the boss you get to decide to do things the way you want to do things I felt like well this is our
00:17:47
time let's go get some answers Sheriff Springer reached out to Stephanie and I told her I am making a promise that we
00:17:54
will find an answer to this case now determined to set things right Springer reached outside the department to a most
00:18:03
unusual investigator Tom elfmont I'm very persistent I have a bulldog personality I just don't give up on
00:18:12
something I just don't do it he'd spent a lifetime in tough jobs from a soldier in Vietnam to a cop working the streets
00:18:20
of LA I wanted to put bad people in jail and after a conversation with Sheriff Springer he was also drawn to Danny's
00:18:30
case she was a great kid and the way she died I get choked up about this a little
00:18:39
bit really to this day bothers me and so when they said would you like to work the case I said yes um I want to work
00:18:51
the case I of course internet stalked him immediately and uh came to find out that
00:18:59
he's like the man that never retires I told Stephanie I will solve this case Stephanie and she said okay I'm going to
00:19:07
trust you and with elfmont leading the way he soon found a suspect why do I know that
00:19:15
name like that sounds so familiar but it took a little bit of time for it to go oh no oh no oh my gosh no way
00:19:42
did you ever think coming out here in the mountains outside Boseman Montana that you'd be going back to work as a
00:19:50
homicide investigator here never no I never thought so by mid 2023 retired LAPD captain elfmont was back to working
00:20:01
full-time committed to finding Danny hen's killer the only reason I stayed in it was
00:20:08
Dany for Danny's sister Stephanie elfm Mon's refreshing dedication professionalism and enthusiasm was what
00:20:17
the case had always needed what does Tom do Tom got to work Tom worked on Danny's
00:20:25
case every day he went through and reexamined all of the evidence elfmont had access to
00:20:34
everything including a list of potential suspects from the old case File and that
00:20:40
previously tested clothing that Dany had been wearing when she was found he most
00:20:47
importantly made sure that DNA got tested elfmont asked the Montana State Crime Lab to use their newest technology
00:20:55
to retest the seen on Danny's under whereare at last a breakthrough a partial DNA profile but there were no
00:21:05
matches to names in the case File and when elfmont compared it to cotus the vast Federal digital repository of DNA
00:21:14
samples from convicted felons we didn't get any hits but elfmont was undeterred and decided to go a less conventional
00:21:23
route he turned to genetic genealogy an investigative genealogist CC Moore since
00:21:31
I started working with law enforcement in 2018 I've been able to help solve over
00:21:37
325 cases Moore is an expert at building out family trees from DNA samples using
00:21:46
information from popular genealogy websites bringing cold cases back to life but to solve this case Moore needed
00:21:56
a special type of DNA profile file problem was they didn't have enough DNA from that seamen we have to start from
00:22:05
scratch which means there has to be remaining biological evidence for us to go back and retest using more advanced
00:22:13
technology elfmont did have more evidence for retesting four male hairs that had been found on Dany which had
00:22:21
been perfectly preserved for 27 years they had never yielded any usable DNA because they were rootless hairs without
00:22:30
any skin cells but elfmont asked around and connected with Austria forensics a state-of-the-art private lab that's at
00:22:39
the Forefront of extracting DNA from previously unattainable genetic matter as if there wasn't enough drama
00:22:48
in this case the first two hairs AA tested produced nothing usable so the last two hairs are examined are they
00:22:58
able to get a profile yes in the last hair oh I was so excited it was a critical breakthrough elfmont
00:23:08
got permission from a judge to compare this enhanced DNA profile to samples in popular genealogy databases where people
00:23:17
voluntarily submit their DNA profiles by Spring 2024 CeCe had what she needed to
00:23:25
get to work I'm looking for patterns commonalities overlaps eventually common ancestors Moore was able to identify the
00:23:35
great grandparents on both sides of the suspect's family tree she then found one
00:23:42
marriage that proved decisive the couple that I finally zeroed in on they had a lot of children including Three Sons
00:23:51
Moore felt like she had to be close but there was a problem what was really confounding was that everybody lived in
00:24:00
New Hampshire yet the mystery was what was the link to Montana Mo scoured through the birth indexes marriage
00:24:08
certificates and even social media of those Sons when I finally got to the youngest son's Facebook page he had
00:24:18
posted that he moved to Boseman Montana on July 1st 1996 remember Dany had been murdered in
00:24:27
September 1996 finally all the pieces fell into place on May 1st 2024 I called up the detectives to let
00:24:38
them know that I believed I had identified Danny's killer finally after nearly 28 years it was now time for
00:24:46
elfmont to call Stephanie and give her the momentous news we've found Danny's killer and he is
00:24:55
alive and we are going to make a case against him the suspect was Paul Hutchinson a married father of two who
00:25:04
elfmont soon Learned was widely known and respected in local hunting and fishing circles we learned that he's
00:25:12
been working for the Bureau of Land Management in Dylan Montana for 22 years as a Fisheries biologist he was a big
00:25:21
Outdoorsman bow hunter rifle hunter fisherman Trapper and Incredibly it turned turned
00:25:28
out Stephanie's childhood friend relle shut knew Paul Hutchinson he was a trusted Mentor who she had first met in
00:25:37
the early 2000s Paul came across as just an under the radar person that was always so kind of calm and quiet he was
00:25:47
just so utterly unremarkable [Music] Stephanie Mallette had spent years dreaming of the day someone would be
00:26:12
held responsible for her sister's murder that day that dream seemed to be finally
00:26:19
coming true it was the moment at which I knew that everything I had put into my fight for my sister had been worth
00:26:31
it back in September 1996 suspect Paul Hutchinson was 27 years old he had served in the Marine
00:26:39
Corps then moved to Boseman to study at Montana State University just 13 miles from where dany's body was
00:26:49
discovered when he was at Montana State he had a work study he worked for the fish and wildlife service which would
00:26:57
have put him on the waterways around Belgrade where on September 21st 1996 Dany ended up on a hike that's
00:27:08
correct do you think your sister Dany knew Paul Hutchinson no Paul Hutchinson was a stranger to Dany there's no way
00:27:16
that she would have known him but many people in the area did know Hutchinson through his passion for
00:27:26
hunting and fishing and high-profile government job he just was like this respected source of information in in
00:27:33
the hunting and fishing space rashelle knew Hutchinson for years she's an expert Hunter and former Yellowstone
00:27:41
Park guide and is now the hunt and fish editor for gearjunkie.com I think I would have considered him a a friend you
00:27:50
know if we were doing some sort of hunt camp I would have not even thought twice
00:27:54
about inviting him relle says she never once questioned Hutchinson's Integrity even when she
00:28:02
went on fishing trips with him just the two of them out in the middle of nowhere
00:28:08
I've always trusted my gut instinct when it comes to PE especially men I never had any feeling that he was unsafe
00:28:16
though she hadn't seen Hutchinson in years relle kept up with him online he would often post on message boards about
00:28:25
hunting trips he had taken across the country Paul was super active in The Hunting Community it seemed like he was
00:28:32
constantly hunting always sharing where he was headed or where he just got back from Hutchinson had no criminal record
00:28:42
by all accounts he had been leading a quiet existence since 1996 and what did you know about his family life well we
00:28:50
knew that he had a wife and a daughter and a son and he lived just a few hours away and Dylan Montana how far is that
00:29:00
from Boseman 140 mil elfmont knew he couldn't make an arrest until he got Hutchinson's DNA which he was working
00:29:09
out how to get in the meantime Montana law did allow elfmont to talk to Hutchinson with some conditions it just
00:29:18
basically has to be in a public area where he can walk away anytime he wants to so on July 2 3rd 2024 elfmont and
00:29:30
another detective drove down to Hutchinson's office at the Bureau of Land Management in Dylan Montana with a
00:29:38
body camera rolling we saw Paul come in and get out of his pickup and then we started walking up and I got up about 10
00:29:47
ft from Paul and I said hey Paul how you doing good good my name's Tom Elon I'm with the gallington County Sheriff's
00:29:56
Office uhhuh hey they came ready with a clever excuse for why they wanted to speak with Hutchinson hoping it wouldn't
00:30:04
raise his suspicions we wanted to talk to you we've been talking to some Fisheries people about some things that
00:30:11
have been going on here at the rivers in southwest Montana okay I explained to him that we're investigating some cases
00:30:21
up and down the rivers and so we want to talk to people that are experts right at the start they caught a
00:30:29
break thanks to an unusually scorching hot day it was 98 that day and Dylan he said let's go inside you guys want to
00:30:38
come inside and talk that'd be great man if if he invites Us in we don't have to
00:30:42
give him Miranda so we go inside he takes us in a small conference room while they didn't
00:30:48
ask about Danny howchin right away elfmont says he could tell Hutchinson was nervous appreciate you sitting down
00:30:57
with us what's up and he breaks into a sweat is just his head starts sweating and he
00:31:04
asks can I can I leave um can you give me a second absolutely Hutchinson said he had to go help a coworker when he
00:31:11
returned they asked him about the other cases so I had pictures of four women that died one in the river in
00:31:22
Idaho two over on the ellone and then Danny elfm Mon's partner Court dewick took over the conversation okay this is
00:31:32
uh Daniel hin she was killed in September of 96 okay um and she was found off the
00:31:40
Gallatin River did you ever fish up there I uh I trapped on the Gallatin have you
00:31:49
ever heard of the Cameron Bridge access mhm have you been there before probably um Jack Rabbit Lane yeah
00:31:58
exactly Hutchinson had confirmed he had not only been to the remote area where Dany was attacked he remembered the
00:32:06
street that led there elfmont says it was a revealing exchange shaking he's all distressed now he was sitting back
00:32:13
in the chair like this as far as he could get from the table and the pictures I knew we had him you remember
00:32:19
seeing her there or a similar face I honestly don't know I I mean I probably I've been to
00:32:28
bunch of fishing access sites for one reason or another Hutchinson denied knowing anything about Danny's death
00:32:35
even when they told him they had the suspect's DNA is there a possibility that you were there when she was
00:32:41
murdered no you weren't trapping or anything during that time not September I would have
00:32:48
been are you asking me I mean I was asking if you remember anything during that time no no did you ever directly
00:32:59
say did you kill Danny hin no why didn't need to cuz he knows that you know that's right and you know that he knows
00:33:11
that you know correct as they wrapped up the interview Hutchinson had a question for them
00:33:20
anything else you want to ask me while I'm here no we're good we're good now to elfmont it seemed like Hutchinson
00:33:26
couldn't believe they didn't arrest himk but the investigation was far from over
00:33:33
so we walk out of the building and we had surveillance people to follow him he started driving like a
00:33:41
maniac high speed doing urns he takes off [Music] with the possibility of an arrest of her
00:34:04
sister's killer Stephanie began imagining what Justice would look like for Paul Hutchinson I Was preparing myself for
00:34:14
the next 3 to 5 years of a court battle to staring him down to being present every day in that courtroom but what
00:34:23
Stephanie could never prepare herself for was the startling phone call she got from Tom elfmont just 12 hours after he
00:34:31
had interviewed Hutchinson so I called Stephanie and I said Stephanie he's dead he killed
00:34:42
himself it's a big pause and she said you know I don't know how I feel about that I said I get it I
00:34:51
understand police say Paul Hutchinson drove to a remote area and called the Sheriff's dispatch line
00:34:58
saying an officer needed help when cops arrived they found Hutchinson's body dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound
00:35:07
he was 55 give me a sense of that moment for you shock I I didn't expect that to
00:35:19
happen when Hutchinson's DNA was checked against evidence from dany's body including the seen on her underwear
00:35:28
there was a match the ratio 10.7 trillion to 1 so he was the guy this case is solved
00:35:40
100% Stephanie's friend relle who had considered Hutchinson a mentor learned what happened as she watched the
00:35:49
sheriff's news conference I am got it I've known him most of my life like it makes me mad to know him him how dare
00:36:00
you at the news conference Stephanie thanked the current Sheriff's team I'd like to express my family's gratitude to
00:36:09
Tom elfmont for overcoming every roadblock to Dan Springer thank you for being a
00:36:16
man of your word and then she did what no one there expected she Unleashed years of pent up anger the sheriff lied
00:36:27
to my parents boldface lied and betrayed the trust of shocked and grieving parents those institutions failed my
00:36:36
sister failed my family and failed this community I asked Sheriff Springer about
00:36:44
Stephanie's allegations that the sheriff's department for years had lied to her family if what they say is true
00:36:53
were they lied to I don't I I don't know what they said to be honest what the parents said is that they were told that
00:36:58
their daughter did not have any injuries if what they are saying is true were they lied to of course I mean I think
00:37:07
the the reports speak for themselves there were marks on her body and if that's what they were told then that's
00:37:11
not the truth we reached out to the man who was sheriff in office back in 1996 Bill
00:37:19
Slaughter now retired Slaughter admits withholding some information from Danny's family but claims he never lied
00:37:28
to them despite the fact he told the local newspaper in 1996 that there was no indication of
00:37:36
Foul Play weeks after the news conference Stephanie went back to the scene of the
00:37:49
crime when I finally saw the exact spot where her body was found and I sat there and imagined
00:37:58
that about her last moments and how it went from peaceful rustling of leaves and you know the sounds of squirrels
00:38:08
running through the forest and the birds chirping to suddenly turning to this awful and violating and terrifying
00:38:19
experience and then that realization that she must have had when he was holding her face down in the mud
00:38:28
that she was going to die right there and I am so sorry for her that she had to experience that
00:38:41
moment for you what is this case about Danny it's about Danny I would wake up at
00:38:55
night and I would say middle of the night 3:00 in the morning and I'd say Danny I got
00:39:02
you it's about Danny in the aftermath of Hutcherson's death there were so many questions
00:39:11
unanswered perhaps the most troubling says elfmont were there other victims oh I think there's a good possibility yeah
00:39:20
I think that anyone who is able to rape and murder a young girl and then get away with it for almost 28 years had
00:39:33
plenty of chances to do it again Stephanie is now trying to make changes in how Montana funds and
00:39:42
supervises law enforcement so that cases like Danny's Don't Fall by the wayside on the table I have what was in
00:39:51
Danny's pocket when she died and then her driver's license which she was really really proud of
00:39:59

00:40:11

Stephanie was back here on the banks of the Gallatin River where Dany died to spread read the last of her ashes and to
00:40:30
tell her sister that she'd made a difference love you Danny I think the biggest thing has
00:40:38
been after so many years of begging and pleading for people to pay attention to my sister for people to believe that she
00:40:51
mattered I'm feeling so often like I was screaming into an echo chamber now suddenly she matters to everyone all
