MANNING, N.D. — Investigators say they’re developing leads, but still have no answers about the death of a missing Montana woman whose remains were found in western North Dakota.
Ranchers stumbled across the remains of Darlene Billie last month in Dunn County. The 55-year-old Billie had been missing from the Flathead Indian Reservation since last fall.
The Dunn County sheriff’s investigators say the remains were found in extremely rough terrain about 3 miles from a public road. Lead investigator Timothy Sul says the location of the remains is suspicious, but there are no signs of foul play.
Sull tells KXMB-TV his investigators are working with the Mackenzie County Sheriff’s Department, Flathead Tribal Police and the FBI.
