On the morning of May 15, 1990, Montana State University student Brian Peter Boeder, 19, was shot dead in his Langford Hall dorm room. Boeder, from Plymouth, Minnesota, and his 19-year-old roommate James Clevenger were asleep when another student, 19-year-old Brett D. Byers of Great Falls, entered and opened fire with a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun. Both victims were struck multiple times at close range and were taken to Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, where they later died.

Police say Byers fled and led officers on a 90-mile high-speed chase that ended near East Helena when he crashed and was arrested. He was charged with two counts of deliberate homicide. At trial the defense argued a mental defect; a jury convicted Byers and imposed consecutive prison terms totaling 165 years, including an extra 15 years for use of a weapon. Byers has been denied parole on multiple occasions and remains incarcerated.

Did anyone on campus that spring remember seeing anything unusual around Langford Hall the night before the shooting?
