Ashley Loring Heavy Runner was last seen in June 2017 on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana.  That night, a video taken and shared online of a party in which Ashley attended.  No one heard from Ashley for days afterward. The family was at first unconcerned, but when Ashley didn't visit her father in the hospital, worry set in.  

A couple of weeks later information came in that a young woman had been spotted running from a vehicle on U.S. Highway 89 on the reservation. Was it Ashley?

Family members searched the area finding a sweater and a pair of boots with red stains, thought to be Ashley's.  Investigators told the family however that Ashley was adult free to come and go as she pleased.   In February 2018, a nearly a year later,  the FBI joined the investigation. By then,   the case was cold.

An arrest comes three months after Anna Kepner dies on a cruise with her family. The cheerleader's 16-year-old stepbrother arrested and charged in her death, ruled a homicide by mechanical asphyxiation.

Anna Kepner, 18, had begun her senior year at Temple Christian School, and was reportedly excited about her future, painting her school parking spot to match her favorite movie, "Clueless. "   Anna plans included joining the military after high school.  

Anna was found dead aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship during a recent western Caribbean voyage that ended in Miami. Her body stuffed under a bunk in the room she shared with her stepbrother.   He has now been charged with homicide.
