Summary

On April 17, 2016 A motorist found the burned, beaten, and frostbit body of a woman on a desolate stretch of Highway 212 in the Crow Reservation in Montana. Miraculously she was still alive. Join me as I tell John the case of Roylynn Rides Horse and the senseless act of violence that left her in the condition in which she was found.

Trigger Warning: domestic violence, extreme violence

** Correction: the time between the murder of Hanna Harris and Roylynn Rides Horse was 3 years not 9, I apologize.**
