On January 9, 2017, 51-year-old Bradley Stover was found shot to death in a cabin behind Roper’s Lounge in Lolo, Montana, alongside 43-year-old Tonya Gilliam, who had also been fatally shot. A third person at the scene, Anthony Mark Vallier, was taken into custody and told investigators that he and Gilliam had been drinking and discussing buying a gun from Stover when Stover discharged the weapon, killing Gilliam. Vallier said a struggle for the gun followed and it fired again, killing Stover. Investigators reported no immediate evidence contradicting Vallier’s account at the scene.

Detectives later discovered a large amount of cash that Stover had reportedly been carrying was missing. Vallier, who deposited a sizeable sum three days after the shootings despite having a limited income, was charged with felony theft and evidence tampering for allegedly taking cash from Stover’s pocket after his death. Vallier was scheduled for arraignment on April 11, 2017, and was reportedly free under pretrial supervision. Many questions about the final moments in that cabin remain unanswered.

Did anyone in the Lolo area know Stover, Gilliam, or Vallier and have information about what happened that day?
