GREAT FALLS, Mont. — In the hours before her death, a Montana woman was able to tell her family that she had been abducted by a large man in a black hoodie, that she was in the trunk of a moving vehicle and that she loved them, family members said.
Rita Maze of Great Falls spoke with her husband Bob and daughter Rochelle by cellphone Tuesday evening, and they relayed to law enforcement that she said she’d been hit on the head and put in the trunk of her car at a small rest stop north of Helena around noon.
