This cold case dates all the way back to 1983, after Royal Canadian Mounted Police discovered the body of a man buried in a shallow grave. And while this agency was investigating a murder, another in the United States, in New Jersey, had been looking for this person after he went missing in 1981. His name? Theodore Frederick Kampf. And the mystery into this man's disappearance and homicide only grew more bizarre when his truck was found abandoned in a remote part of Southwest Montana, making it the Season 6 Finale of 'Montana Murder Mysteries.'
Host Angela Marshall brings you a of a cold case that dates all the way back to the 1980's. It spans multiple states, multiple countries even.

This is a SNEAK PEEK of the Season 6 finale, 'The Hunt for Ted Kampf's Killer.'
Host Angela Marshall brings a BONUS 'Montana Murder Mysteries' podcast episode. It's an episode that she said she wanted to bring you, because so many people reached out to her following the release of our 2-part podcast series, "Who Killed Russell Turcotte?" Dear friends of Russell wanted to share their memories of him. And the best way for her to share Russell's story with you in the hopes of garnering new information in his cold case is to share their stories. Here's the uninterrupted conversation she had with Mike Dunning, Russel's best friend, along with others who shared memories of him.
'Montana Murder Mysteries' first brought the unsolved murder of a 19-year-old Wolf Point, Montana man two weeks ago. Russell Turcotte's father, William Turcotte, has been tortured with the unknowing of who murdered his son for the past two decades. Three years would pass before Russell's family would receive their first clue into who could have been responsible in his killing. It's name many of you are sure to recognize— now-deceased sex offender and murderer, Joseph Duncan. And it's also in this second episode that Podcast Host Angela Marshall speaks with William about how they found themselves embroiled in the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons crisis years before the movement began.
He was a more-than-friendly Native American musician, who loved the outdoors and loved to travel. But Russell Turcotte, a 19-year-old free spirit from Wolf Point, Montana, would never live to dance at an upcoming family wedding. Just weeks before he was set to attend the nuptuals in Montana in the summer of 2002, he was making his way back from a Rainbow Gathering in Michigan when he went missing in North Dakota. Nearly four months later, he was found dead. For the past two decades, family and friends have found themselves frustrated with what they say was a lack of effort to find their loved one. In Part One of 'How Exactly Was Russell Turcotte Killed?" Angela Marshall dives into his disappearance, the day he was found murdered and the emotional battle his father has endured.
A cold case victim known for nearly two decades as 'Cliff John Doe' and later 'Marion John Doe.' That is, until just recently. In accordance with the mission of the 'Montana Murder Mysteries' podcast, Angela Marshall is sharing his story and those of David Milek, Darlene Wilcock and John Michael Crites once again to either bring you new information on the investigations or to breathe new life into the investigations.
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.
Not just one murder. Authorities would soon discover two. A pair of young women were brutally beaten and stabbed to death just outside of Billings in 1978. They died months apart, yet their murders share many more strong connections. These decades-old "Rural Road Killings" start Season 6 of our 'Montana Murder Mysteries' podcast. Montana Right Now Evening Anchor and Host Angela Marshall will be taking you back in time to walk you through the intricate details of these crimes and let you know where the investigations stand today.
