The year was 1974 and Lana Harding was a teacher at the Pioneer School, a one room building with only 5 students located 13 miles northeast of Conrad, Montana. Lana lived in the teacherage, which was a housing accommodation the school provided for her. We will also go to Coeur d’Alene Idaho, the home of Debra Prety, a 15 year old girl whose life was stolen from her and her loved ones, while walking home from a school dance in her own neighborhood.
