Found Deceased MT - Rory Wanner, 33, Billings, 28 June 2017 *Arrests*

It's a bit confusing though, because if you watch the news clip at the top of this article, she says that police have confirmed that, "they have not found a body." The article itself states differently, but the actual news cast says they haven't. I'm not sure which is factual at this point.

Police still looking for Wanner: http://www.kbzk.com/story/35922170/...sing-billings-man-identified-as-murder-victim

Three weeks after he was reported missing, the body of a Billings man has yet to be found.

Capt. Jeremy House, a Billings police detective, said law enforcement is still searching for the remains of Rory Wanner, 33, who was declared the victim of a murder at the start of July.

This is an interesting comment from the article...

House said persons of interest have been identified but murder charges likely won’t be filed for another couple of weeks.

Two*Billings men, ages 37 and 35, have been charged for removing blood evidence of an assault that occurred on the same date Wanner went missing and from a home in the same area of Wanner’s disappearance.

House wouldn’t comment about whether those two men are persons of interest in Wanner’s death. The detective*also declined to comment on the cause of Wanner's death.

Body found in shallow grave may be missing man:
http://flatheadbeacon.com/2017/07/31/body-found-shallow-grave-may-missing-billings-man/

BILLINGS — A body found in a shallow grave on private land in central Montana may be that of a Billings man who has been missing since late June and is assumed to be the victim of a homicide.

Billings police say a landowner found the shallow grave on Sunday near Roundup. Investigators uncovered a badly decomposed body. An autopsy is planned.

Law enforcement’s search for 33-year-old Rory Wanner has been centered around Roundup, which is about 50 miles north of Billings.
 
Police say that there are two suspects and a possible third person of interest.

According to law enforcement, there is no house on the property but it’s used by a Billings businessman to store ATVs.

The path leading up to the area where the remains were discovered is a steep dirt path secured behind a locked gate.

House said the landowner has not been implicated for the murder, but investigators are working to determine how the suspects gained access to the area and how they knew about the land.

Police say he was lured to home and beaten to death: http://billingsgazette.com/news/cri...cle_222d7d2b-cf28-58dc-8625-3e023ae12d6f.html


Rory Wanner had a bad feeling about going to Tyler Crawford’s house the night he disappeared in late June.

He was going to the Heights home on June 28 to conduct a drug deal, but feared he was being set up after arguing sometime earlier with Crawford’s friend Michael Scott LeClair.

The argument was apparently over Wanner showing Crawford’s girlfriend text messages LeClair had sent to Wanner’s girlfriend. It isn’t clear what those text messages were about.

Much more at link. 😕

This is just awful. It sounds like this guy had no chance. Even if it was an even fight where they square up with each other, this fella seemed to be surrounded by people ready to jump in and finish the job.

Rory did not deserve to die. RIP :(

Wow. How sad :( I'm surprised about him being involved in a Meth deal though, considering he seemed to be a promoter of this Thrive product and seemed to have a very healthy appearance.

if Crawford lured him there I think there should be some kinda charge, no?
 
Sounds like Crawford may have been offered immunity in exchange for the truth and his testimony? Just speculating...
 
Man named as key witness in Rory Wanner murder charged in separate case

Tyler Crawford faces a felony charge after he allegedly pulled a 9mm handgun on another man at Bones Arcade.

Crawford is also the man named in court documents who told police he was forced by William Hoffert and Michael LeClair to lure Rory Wanner to his home under the guise of selling drugs.

Crawford told police LeClair was mad at Wanner because Wanner sent a picture of LeClair talking to another woman to LeClair's girlfriend "a long time ago."

According to the documents, Crawford told police that LeClair confronted Wanner about the text message before both men began fighting.

Crawford told police LeClair got the best of Wanner, that Wanner collapsed and appeared dazed. He said Wanner was seen quivering as if having a seizure.

Crawford then told police Hoffert and LeClair told him to clean up the blood while they removed Wanner's body from the home.

Crawford said he threw away the bloody clothes in a dumpster, which Hoffert and LeClair emptied the next day.

Days later, Wanner's Jeep turned up blocks away from the home. The keys were left on the passenger seat.

On July 2, police executed a search warrant at Crawford's home. There they found evidence of blood.

On July 7, police notified the public they were treating Wanner's disappearance as a homicide.

On July 31, police were notified of a body found in a shallow grave south of Roundup.

Forensics analysis confirmed that body to be Wanner's.
