In the summer of 2017, 28-year-old Lindsay White was found dead in a remote tree line in northern McKenzie County, North Dakota. Investigators from the McKenzie County Sheriff’s Office discovered her very decomposed remains on the evening of July 20 after being directed to the site by information developed during a separate criminal probe. Her death was treated as a homicide.

The case was linked to a drive-by shooting that occurred in nearby Williston on the morning of July 18; information from that shooting helped lead law enforcement to White’s location. The McKenzie County Sheriff’s Office worked on the investigation alongside the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the Williams County Sheriff’s Office, and the Williston Police Department.

Authorities identified a primary suspect, Jonah Hendricks, but he was found dead while officers executed a search warrant in Williston, so no trial has occurred and many questions about White’s final days remain unanswered. If anyone knew Lindsay or has information about her last movements, please come forward.
