A Good Samaritan reportedly found a man lying in the middle of Airport Road and stopped to check on him. The man reportedly said he’d gotten tired while walking to Kalispell and stopped to rest.

A dark colored suburban was reportedly seen lingering around multiple residences on or near Swan River Road in the wee hours of the morning over the last week.
