In late summer 2014 Missoula was shaken by the discovery of 36-year-old Gilbert George Berry, also known as Jack. A fisherman found his body floating in the Clark Fork River on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 5, 2014. An autopsy showed Berry had been severely beaten, had gang symbols carved into his body with a knife, and was shot in the head with a 9mm; detectives believe the assault and murder occurred beneath the Reserve Street Bridge and the body was then disposed of in the river.

Within days investigators arrested two people: Kenneth Hickman, charged with aggravated assault, and Mechailiah Tembreull, charged with accountability for aggravated assault. Kevin Joseph Lino was identified as the primary suspect and was sought on a warrant for deliberate homicide. By November 2014 Lino pleaded not guilty; Hickman later accepted a plea and received a 20-year sentence, and in July 2015 Lino was sentenced to 40 years in Montana State Prison for the beating, torture, and shooting death of Berry.

Did anyone in Missoula know Gilbert Jack Berry or see anything near the Reserve Street Bridge on or before August 5, 2014?
