Paul

Hard to believe that Paul Raftery has been dead over 2 years. Brutally murdered in Montana. This is a pic I took of Paul when we traveled to Red Lodge Montana on motorcycles in 2003. He was a very good detective and solved lots of cases in Sublette County when he worked for me. Fortunately they caught the two that killed him and they are doing 25 to life in prison.

Many who read this blog know Paul but many don't. He left Sublette County S.O. in 04 to attend law school in Montana. He graduated and was working for Montana Supreme court in Dec. 06 when he was killed one night as he walked home from a night out with his friends in Helena Mt. The bad guys stabbed him to death and obviously got the jump on him because Paul was double tough.

  1. Found this photo and post while Googling. I knew Paul in high school and we had similar school/career paths. Not quite the Paul I knew in high school but a great photo. Even though we didn't keep in touch the news of his death was a shock. He was a great guy.
