This FBI file concerns the September 2016 kidnapping and killing of Rita Maze, a Great Falls, Montana resident who disappeared while traveling from Helena to Great Falls. The FBI's Salt Lake City office opened a kidnapping investigation after Maze called her husband and police, reported that she had been abducted, and gunshots were heard during a call with Helena police. The records include a case-opening electronic communication and FD-302 investigative reports documenting a follow-up at the Kingston Kwik Stop in Idaho. The reports describe debit-card transactions, surveillance-video review, the apparent presence of Maze's black Pontiac Grand Prix at the station, and the preservation of video footage and receipts. The file also records that Maze's vehicle was later located in Spokane and that she was found deceased in its trunk.
