On October 19, 2018, 23-year-old Jason Flink was killed during a violent confrontation at the Mountain Valley Inn motel in Missoula, Montana. The attack began as a dispute over drugs when Jonathan Reed Whitworth and Preston Rossbach went to the motel seeking the dealer they blamed. Whitworth and Rossbach forced their way into a room, left briefly, then returned. Inside were Jason Flink, Megan McLaughlin, 31, and Kaleb Williams. Whitworth opened fire on all three; Rossbach then stabbed the victims. Flink and McLaughlin died at the scene. Williams survived despite being shot and suffering severe stab wounds.

Surveillance footage showed Whitworth and Rossbach leaving the motel armed. Rossbach was arrested shortly after the killings; Whitworth was arrested near the Missoula International Airport a few days later after a public tip. Whitworth later admitted to a nine-day methamphetamine binge before the killings; he pleaded guilty to two counts of deliberate homicide and one count of assault with a weapon and received a 100-year sentence. Rossbach was convicted by a jury and sentenced to 60 years. Does anyone have information about Jason’s time in Missoula or about the events at the Mountain Valley Inn that night?
