Montana, all with little known aboutwhat happened to them the last time
they were seen. This is partone of our two part finale, the
(00:46):
Tragic Tales of the Livingston Ladies.Welcome to Montana Murder Miss. I'm your
host, Mattiolson. At the intersectionof Interstate ninety and Highway eighty nine,
(01:14):
Livingston is a major stopping place forthose traveling into Yellowstone National Park. Highway
eighty nine leads to the north entranceof the park, the only gate that
is open year round. It's ahistoric train town, one of the original
stops on the Northern Pacific Railway,and since the railway was finished after President
Ulysses Grant made Yellowstone the world's firstnational park. Livingston has naturally always garnered
(01:41):
tourism before English settlers came into thearea after the Louisiana purchase, Gallatin Valley
was known as the Valley of Flowersto the indigenous people of the state.
The valley was a neutral and sacredland for the surrounding tribes, an area
where tribes would come together and wherethey would agree to a true since the
land belonged to no one. Thatvalley has changed a law in the two
(02:05):
hundred years since. Livingstone is calculatedas having a higher crime average per population
than the national statistic. So whilethe town has promoted itself to those traveling
through it as a great place tostay, eat, and shop on its
way into Yellowstone Park, the townhas plenty of dark secrets to it.
So when multiple women go missing inLivingstone within ten years, it seems natural
(02:30):
to think they could be connected.Yet investigators are fairly certain that this is
just the unfortunate history of the townand these cases are likely unrelated to one
another. October fifteenth, nineteen ninetyseven, Dorothy Brown searches in the crisp
(02:52):
autumn air for her daughter, thirtytwo year old Angela Marie Brown. Angela's
car is abandoned in a western drugpark, unlocked with the driver's window down.
Inside the car is Angela's current packof cigarettes and four hundred dollars.
Angela had been entangled in the drugscene within western Montana for a few years
(03:13):
prior to her disappearance. She wasknown to go on benders and wouldn't return
for a few days, so atfirst Angela's disappearance wasn't surprising to her friends
and family, but when she didn'treturn home on October thirteenth, her loved
ones concern grew. This time feltdifferent. She would only have meant to
(03:34):
run some errands, she had lefther kids at home, and no one
had heard anything from her. Itwas unlikely that she was even away on
a drug bender in the first place, since investigators said that, as the
record show, Angela had been cleansince finding out that she was pregnant with
her youngest who now was a fewmonths old. And even if Angela had
(03:55):
fallen off the wagon, she wouldnormally still be in contact with her friends
and family if she left for afew days, but this time no one
had heard anything. Once Angela's carwas found and investigators were brought in.
The first place they checked was thetrunk the fear was at. Once opened,
they'd find Angela's remains with Dorothy afew feet away. Investigators released the
(04:20):
latch, nothing was inside. Theinvestigation expanded from there across the state.
Official search for Angela yet turned upnothing, no clues, no body,
no official suspects. Newspapers in multiplecounties released Angela Brown's description. Thirty two
(04:41):
years old, a little over fivefeet tall. She had dark hair and
hazel eyes. She was roughly onehundred and forty pounds, and most notably,
Angela had a heart shaped tattoo betweenher left thumb and point he finger.
Four months later, two fishermen areowl on the Yellowstone River, ten
(05:05):
miles east of Livingstone. They spotsomething a little under a hundred feet from
the bank. Perplexed, the twoget a closer look. It was a
decomposed body caught in the debris Park. County investigators brought the body to the
Montana State Crime Lab and found,using dental records, along with recognizing a
(05:26):
tiny hard tattoo on the hand,that the body was confirmed to be Angela
Brown. Officials were transparent with theirbelief that Angela's death involved foul play,
but nothing else about the case wasreleased to the public. For a dreadful
ten days, residents would learn nothingnew about the potential murder of this thirty
(05:46):
year old, that is until Februarynineteenth, nineteen ninety eight, when it
was announced that the investigation was beingtaken over by the Montana State Investigation Bureau.
Right around the time of her disappearancein October, rumors circulated throughout town
that Angela might be involved in abilling's trial for some drug dealers in the
(06:09):
area. In nineteen ninety seven.She had been into jail for a brief
period for possession of methamphetamine, butwas released early when she discovered she was
pregnant. Investigators later informed the pressthat the rumors were in fact just that
rumors, and that Angela was noton the billing's trial witness list. Instead,
(06:30):
investigators claimed that Angela had made adeal relating to that trial, or
she was meant to show up tothe courtroom but solely in the role of
a spectator. To this day,no one knows who, why, or
how Angela Brown was killed, onlythat investigators don't believe it was a suicide
that put Angela's body in the YellowstoneRiver. A few years later, in
(07:00):
August of two thousand, a youngtwenty nine year old woman is working as
a cashier at the Country Market grocerystore in Livingston, smiling and laughing as
she scans customers purchases and places theminto bags. A few hours later,
this same young woman would be foundbeaten and mutilated on the sidewalk blocks away,
(07:21):
breathing her last breaths. Sheila Filangwas born in nineteen seventy one on
May fourth, in Bozeman, Montana. She was the third and last child
of Mary and William. The familyof five were close to one another and
then moved north of Livingston to ClydePark when Sheila was in elementary school.
(07:45):
As she grew up, she becamenoticed around town, described by many as
being effortlessly beautiful and always closely followingthe latest trends. In her twenties,
Sheila had fallen in love with aman named Kevin Jordan. They had two
beautiful kids together and got married inJuly of nineteen ninety three. Unfortunately,
(08:07):
their sweet family had their secrets aswell, and after seven years of marriage,
Sheila filed for divorce and moved toan apartment just to block away from
the Country Market, also next doorto a reported new boyfriend of hers,
John Payne. Her job at thegrocery store started as a family affair,
(08:28):
with her cousin being another cashier,her brother working in the Delhi, and
her father as a manager. ByAugust of twenty twenty, her dad had
moved on and her cousin had justput in her notice a few weeks prior
to the fateful night of August thirteenth. On August thirteenth, two thousand,
Sheila had been working a late nightshift at the market. According to co
(08:50):
workers on shift with her, Sheilawas on edge and unhappy working such a
late night, and when she leftaround eleven pm, she never made it
all the way home to her apartments, instead being stopped about halfway by her
unknown assailant. Nine one one wascalled and an ambulance arrived, bringing Sheila
(09:13):
to the local hospital, where herinjuries were too severe to overcome. Sheila
died a few hours later. Whatlooked like a heated disagreement made investigators confident
that Sheila knew this man. Sheknew the person who then moments later would
strike and beat Sheila, then leaveher on the sidewalk, mutilated and bloody
(09:37):
for others to find. Officials wereable to cross off a few suspects quickly
in the investigation. The new boyfriend, John was eventually cleared and took the
opportunity to leave town quickly after hewas allowed to. Her ex husband still
is a person of interest to investigatorsand many of the public, as the
divorce papers were served to him justweak before Sheila's death. Kevin had cooperated
(10:03):
with investigators every step in the process, and to this day still proclaims his
innocence and frustration was still having somany rumors and accusations thrown at him.
Immediately, there were reports of aman looking similar to the unknown suspect at
a train station, and local investigatorsreached out to the Gallatin County officials to
(10:24):
search any trains that were passing throughBozeman that day. No arrests were made,
and the description of the suspect isstill kept unknown to the public.
At the end of the year,Sheila's mother, Mary released a letter to
the press directly speaking to her daughter'skiller and hopes that after months of little
(10:46):
progress, something could be helped withthe plea. It is read in part
by our nonstopt local digital producer MadisonSipe. What could you have gained?
Call me? Tell me. Wedon't understand why you did this. Do
you remember how you left her mutilatedand bloody and barely recognizable? Do you
remember hitting her and hitting her andhitting her with your tool, your weapon?
(11:09):
How did it feel to have herblood on your hand, on your
clothes. There's nothing in the worldmore than I'd like for them to just
pick up the phone and call me. I'm not that hard to find.
Sheila's parents never got the answers,and investigators have never been public about any
leads. Amy Marie Johnson was adoptedby Cliff and Peg Johnson when she was
(11:41):
a baby through a service in theCatholic Church. She was one of five
adopted by the couple, and Cliffand Peg never maye knowe of the different
colors of their children's skin or thedifference of biological parents. Amy and her
siblings grew up in a family centeredaround love and God. Twenty four years
later, Amy would leave her apartmentfor a date and never be seen again,
(12:05):
leaving her parents, friends and familyto wonder what happened to Amy?
Where is she now? Amy wasborn on September fourth, nineteen sixty one,
on indigenous land in Montana. Similarto three of her adopted siblings were
(12:26):
at least part indigenous as well.Although it isn't known which tribe Amy's birth
parents were part of, and althoughthe Johnson's didn't treat the children any differently,
the rest of the town of Livingstonewas not as loving. All three
faced racism throughout their lives in theirhometown, and eventually the sweet, kind
(12:46):
and innocent little girl Amy was foundout about all the vices that she could
use to get through her hardships.Amy got into drugs and alcohol in her
teen years, leading to her gettingpregnant three times, but not choosing to
keep any of the babies and insteadput them up for adoption like so many
(13:09):
and her family were. Despite thesehardships, Amy was still a hard working
woman. In nineteen eighty six,she was a certified nursing assistant and worked
at Livingstone Healthcare. The twenty fouryear old was also out of her parents'
house, living with a roommate whowas an old middle school friend, Mary
Guana, both them sharing the loadof raising Amy's newborn and Mary's children as
(13:33):
well. Little did Mary know thatwhen Amy left for a day on the
night of May sixteenth, nineteen eightysix, she would never see her childhood
friend. Again. Before leaving onher date, Amy was excited. It
was a new relationship with a newguy, and she was hopeful that this
(13:56):
would turn out differently. She hada history of falling for the guys and
the relationship ending with him in jailand her pregnant, abused or both.
Amy left that Friday night with thepromise to Mary that she would be back
in a few hours, with Mary'schance to have fun that weekend being the
next night. Mary remembers being concernedthat she didn't recognize this new guy and
(14:18):
that she was hopeful that he wasn'ta bad seed like many of Amy's exes
already were. Amy never returned home, and although there is the chance she
decided to leave that night, shewould have had brought nothing with her.
She left behind her child, herclothes, and a welfare check that had
been uncashed in her apartment that night. The next day, Amy was expected
(14:43):
to also show up her a familydinner at her parents house, but again
no one saw or heard from her, She didn't inform anyone she wouldn't be
there, and she still hadn't returnedhome. To this day, no one
is sure what happened to Amy thenight of May six Officials have stated that
they believe foul play is involved,but no body has been discovered to allow
(15:07):
for a proper investigation. A fewthings have opened up possible leads, yet
all dead ends. On the sixteenth, there were reports that Amy was seen
with an ex boyfriend, and althoughhe admitted to investigators, he claims that
he left her downtown and didn't seeher again. Later, a report came
(15:28):
in that she was seen in abar on May twenty second and Gardner,
but had never been confirmed on ifthe sighting was really Aimy Marie Johnson.
A lot of hope had sparked whenin the early two thousands a man came
forward claiming that he knew where thebody of Amy Johnson was. He was
(15:48):
adamant on that he hadn't killed thegirl, but was involved only in the
disposal of her body. After leadinginvestigators to where he claimed to have left
her, nothing was out. Officialsbroadcat of her dogs, but again nothing
found. Investigator's current theory is thatAmy was likely killed in that in order
(16:14):
to cover up the crime, herbody has likely been moved. In nineteen
ninety four, Livingston Police Captain SteveMcCann told multiple press outlets and interviews,
as read by our NonStop local directorEric Yetmanson, there are people who know
what happened to her, but Ithink they're too afraid to say anything yet.
(16:34):
That is just their theory until moreevidence or more information comes forward.
Investigators in Park County are still lookingfor more information into the murder case of
Sheila Jordan, the suspicious death ofAngela Brown, and the disappearance of Amy
Johnson. Although there have been noreports of a connection between these cases,
(16:57):
any information would provide the people ofLivingston and these families comfort. If you
think you know anything about these cases, you can call the Park County Sheriff's
Office at four oh six two twotwo four one seven two or the Livingston
Police Department at four O six twotwo two zero five zero. Next time,

a young Livingstone woman, and thatdisappearance ends with a dead body found in
