October 18, 1955 - Wayne Nance

Wayne Nathan Nance (October 18, 1955 – September 4, 1986), known as The Missoula Mauler, was an American serial killer in the state of Montana. Nance was shot and killed while committing a home invasion of a co-worker's residence; thus, Nance was never formally charged, tried, or convicted of any murder.

Law enforcement believe Nance committed at least six homicides although it is strongly suspected that he may have had many more undiscovered victims. Before Nance's death and the discovery of his crimes, some of the murders were tentatively ascribed to David Meirhofer. A native Montanan and military veteran, Meirhofer confessed to four murders and then killed himself in custody in 1974.
