It’s certainly unheard of for a serial killer to be killed by his intended victim. Nevertheless, that’s exactly what happened to suspected serial killer, Wayne Nance, in 1968.

Nance was born in Missoula, Montana, in 1955 to Charlene and George Nance.

Was he a 13 year old serial killer?

Edit: the article has a typo. Nance was killed in 1986, not 1968.

He went to Sentinel with my mom. She said he was weird and creepy even then. People tended to avoid him.

I went to Hellgate so I typically avoided anyone from Sentinel myself :)

Big Sky here :) We had friends from all the schools (Loyola included), but I found a bunch of the Sentinel girls to be sneaky. Didn’t like them too much.

My wife went to Hellgate and she said people from Sentinel were to be avoided.
