}}Miranda Colleen Fenner (December 26, 1979 – November 15, 1998) was an American teenager who was murdered by an unknown assailant while working at a video store in Laurel, Montana. The murder case received wide media attention and is one of the highest-profile murder cases in Yellowstone County history.[1]

Fenner's murder was featured on the Discovery Channel's Sensing Murder and the Montel Williams Show. Her case remains unsolved.

Murder

On November 15, 1998, 18-year-old Miranda Fenner was working at The Movie Store, a locally owned video rental store in Laurel, Montana. At around 8:15 p.m., a passing motorist noticed a woman attempting to crawl out the doorstep of the video store.[1] The motorist stopped and called 911. The woman, discovered to be Fenner, had been stabbed multiple times in the head and neck, and her throat had also been slashed.[2]

Fenner was transported via Life Flight to St. Vincent Healthcare hospital in nearby Billings, where she died of her injuries within two hours.[2]

Investigation

Over 700 people were interviewed in relation to Fenner's murder, but to date no suspects have been named.[2] Police could not find a motive nor suspect in the case, though it was noted that a small amount of cash had been taken from the video store's register;[3] because of this, robbery could not be entirely ruled out as a motive.[4]

In 2000, a man who was killed in a police shootout in Glendive, Montana had allegedly made statements prior to his death that he had been involved in Fenner's murder; however, Glendive police reported that the statements were rumor and were not confirmed.[5]

In 2012, Fenner's murder was given to the Billings Police Department's cold case unit.[4] Fenner's mother, Sherry Fenner, would later advocate for an instatement of Marsy's Law in the state of Montana in 2015.[6]

Media depictions

Fenner's murder garnered national attention.[7] It was the subject of a Sensing Murder episode on the Discovery Channel in 2007.[8] In 2006, the case had been featured on the Montel Williams Show,[9] in which psychic Sylvia Browne claimed two men were responsible for the murder, aged 19 and 24.[3]
