On September 9, 1985, the remains of an unidentified Asian
female believed to be of Japanese descent were recovered in a
rural, wooded area in Missoula County, Montana. No clothing or
other personal affects were located. The victim's estimated date
of death was approximately one year prior. Dental x-rays and DNA
are available for comparison.
The victim was found by a bear hunter, scattered across a
hillside. There are little clues as to the circumstances of this
victim's death; her remains were skeletonized when she was
located. Wayne Nance was a suspect in the death of this victim,
but he died before anything was brought to trial. The murder
weapon was a .32-caliber firearm and the bullets were
Winchester/Western Silver Tip, solid nose or fully jacketed: Six
land and grooves, right-hand twist, .051"/.055" land impression,
which could have been fired from any of the following gun makes:
Ceska, Walther, Llama, Star, Savage or Astra. The gun was not
found at the scene, but two .32-caliber bullets recovered from
skull.
She was also nicknamed "Christy Crystal Creek" because of the
location where she was found.

"Christy Crystal Creek"
See also: Wayne Nance
On September 9, 1985, a young woman's skeleton, possibly of
Japanese or of mixed Asian and Caucasian race, was found in
Missoula, Montana, with two .32 caliber bullets in the skull. No
clothing was found at scene. Investigators believe she may have
been murdered between 1983 and 1985.
She was between 18 and 35 years old. She was estimated to be
between 4 feet 10 and 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighed between
90 and 110 pounds. Examination indicated that she most likely
had a history of smoking and had many fillings in her teeth, as
well as two root canals. She also had had a type of oral surgery
which is distinctive of Asia's dental techniques, involving the
screwing of a dental post into the tooth.
It is possible that serial killer and rapist Wayne Nance
murdered her. Due to Nance's death in 1986, he was never tried
or convicted of any murder. Two other victims believed to have
been killed by Nance are "Debbie Deer Creek" and "Betty
Beavertail", later identified as Marcella Bachmann and Devonna
Nelson, respectively. They were both dependents
