129: A Fatal “Accident”: The Disappearance of Leslee Larson

In June 1975, 20-year-old Leslee Larson disappeared while mushroom hunting with her husband near Little Prickly Pear Creek in Wolf Creek, Montana. He told investigators she slipped into the swollen water and drowned—a tragic accident in a fast-moving river.

But from the beginning, there were questions.

Years later, after his third wife died in another supposed accident while hiking along the cliffs in Acadia National Park. This time, investigators noticed a pattern.

In this episode, we center Leslee’s life, the failures that allowed her case to go unquestioned, and the devastating pattern that only came into focus after another woman lost her life.

If you have information about the disappearance of Leslee Larson contact the Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s Office – Coroner Division at 406-442-7398.
