A shocking and tragic incident has rocked the quiet town of Billings, Montana, as police have revealed that a camper offered his killer a beer before he was brutally murdered.
The victim, identified as 57-year-old John Doe, was camping in a remote area near the Yellowstone River when he was approached by the suspect, 42-year-old James Smith. According to witnesses, Doe and Smith engaged in a friendly conversation, during which Doe offered Smith a beer as a gesture of hospitality.
