The Gravel Road is dedicated to exploring Montana's many crimes and mysteries as seen through the eyes of a Big Sky Country native.

The Common Denominator: Part 1

Phillipsburg, MT. April 1900. In 1905, as Arvilla sat in a jail cell charged with bigamy, she confessed, but to cheating on her husband but to lying on the witness stand. Three years prior, Arvilla had told a packed courtroom that her father had killed her first husband Otis Walbridge and terrorized her into silence. Now, as reporters gathered around her cell, Arvilla said that Otis was, quite possibly, still alive.
