Leslee Larson, a 20-year-old woman, went missing on June 10, 1975, while on a mushroom-picking trip with her husband, Dennis Larson, near Little Prickly Pear Creek in Wolf Creek, Montana. According to Dennis, Leslee slipped into the creek, which was swollen from spring runoff, and was swept away under a fallen log. He claimed he attempted to save her but was unsuccessful. Despite an extensive search, Leslee’s body was never found, and she was presumed to have drowned.
However, suspicions around her disappearance grew, particularly from Leslee’s family, as Dennis's story contained inconsistencies. Notably, when he reported the incident to authorities, his clothes were dry, contradicting his claim that he had tried to rescue her from the water. Dennis remarried twice after Leslee's disappearance.
His third marriage ended tragically when he murdered his wife, Kathy Frost Larson, in 1987 by pushing her off a cliff in Maine. This incident led authorities to reopen Leslee's case.
In 2000, while Dennis was in prison for Kathy's murder, he confessed to killing Leslee, stating that he had pushed her into the creek intentionally. He was subsequently charged with Leslee’s murder but committed suicide in prison in 2001 before standing trial. Despite the confession, Leslee's body has never been recovered, and her case remains open.Last Seen: Jun 10, 1975
