A Montana True Crime Investigation of Wayne Nance, the Missoula Mauler, and Serial Homicide
From 1974 through September 1986 in Missoula, Montana, local furniture deliveryman Wayne Nance committed multiple homicides while maintaining an innocent reputation as a friendly neighborhood worker. Dubbed the "Missoula Mauler," Nance targeted local residents, using his employment access to scout victims' homes.
Journalist John Coston details Nance's crime spree and the dramatic September 1986 home invasion where intended victims Doug and Kris Wells fought back, fatally shooting Nance during a violent struggle. The narrative follows the post-mortem forensic investigation that linked Nance's DNA and physical evidence to unsolved cold-case homicides across western Montana.
