On December 18, 2018, 37-year-old Rebekah Ann White-Roman of Helena, Montana, was killed in a violent incident that also took the life of her husband, Russell Roman. Authorities later ruled the deaths a murder-suicide and concluded Russell was the sole suspect; with his death there were no arrests or other suspects.

Rebekah was a mother of three young children and had been with Russell for more than 18 years. Those who knew her remember her as devoted to her family, often present at her children’s baseball games and described as energetic and compassionate. Investigators attributed the tragedy to Russell’s progressively worsening brain disease, which is believed to have driven his deteriorating mental state.

The community was left to grieve a mother and friend whose life ended suddenly and violently. If anyone knew Rebekah or has information relevant to the circumstances of that night, please come forward.
