Gerald Burton's relative ( the recipient of the death bed confession) sent a message to my sister. In it they said that they felt slandered and almost stalked by what I have written on this blog and swears they know nothing about Dave's case and surmised that Dave was an alcoholic, possibly gay and the wrong person picked him up. Dave might have had a drinking problem it seem strange that they would say that he was gay. Dave is someone that I assume that they had never met. I don't know if the murder that Gerald Burton witnessed was Dave or not.
I am sympathetic with their predicament but the victim was some mother and fathers son that was murdered and no one was told for 25 years. This virtually assures that Russel gets away with murder and the victim's family lives a life of never knowing where there family member is. If anyone knows who it was or knows that it wasn't Dave they should contact the Bruce McDermitt, Helena Division of Criminal Investigation 1-406-444-3874
