ryan's story
On August 31, 1987, while playing in his own back yard in a rural Montana town, 8-year-old Ryan VanLuchene was kidnapped, sexually assaulted and murdered by a repeat sex offender. This manipulative repeat offender was serving a prison sentence for the past crime of sexually assaulting another child. He was let out of prison early with minimal supervision. Tragically, within just a few short weeks after his early release from prison, this offender abducted and murdered Ryan.Since Ryan's murder, Ryan's family has not given up. Regardless of the daily heartache, they have vowed to make a difference and ensure that Ryan's death was not in vain.
