He was a more-than-friendly Native American musician, who loved the outdoors and loved to travel. But Russell Turcotte, a 19-year-old free spirit from Wolf Point, Montana, would never live to dance at an upcoming family wedding. Just weeks before he was set to attend the nuptuals in Montana in the summer of 2002, he was making his way back from a Rainbow Gathering in Michigan when he went missing in North Dakota. Nearly four months later, he was found dead. For the past two decades, family and friends have found themselves frustrated with what they say was a lack of effort to find their loved one. In Part One of 'How Exactly Was Russell Turcotte Killed?" Angela Marshall dives into his disappearance, the day he was found murdered and the emotional battle his father has endured.
