This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.

From Billings, Montana, foster and adoptive parent Bridger Franklin Boyd, 34,”was arrested and charged Tuesday in Billings with deliberate homicide in connection with the recent death of a 4-year-old girl.[She died on June 18, 2018]

Big Horn County Attorney Jay Harris said in a news release that Bridger Franklin Boyd was arrested by the U.S. Marshal’s Violent Offender Task Force in Billings and is being held in Yellowstone County jail on a $1 million bond.

According to charging documents, Boyd and his wife brought the girl, one of several children in their care at their licensed foster home, to Big Horn County Memorial Hospital on Monday after she was unresponsive. In a correction to his original release, Harris said the girl was adopted in the foster home.

The initial report also misidentified her age.

Big Horn County sheriff’s deputies launched an investigation after being alerted by hospital staff, according to Harris.

Boyd allegedly admitted to Big Horn County Undersheriff Michael Fuss that he had slammed the child’s head against the wall and struck her with his fists while she was on the floor several days earlier at their Big Horn County residence near Busby, according to Harris.

Boyd’s other foster children have been removed from the household and placed in alternative homes, Harris said.

Boyd also faces a charge of aggravated assault.

He is being prosecuted under Montana’s felony murder rule, which states that if the death of another person in the course of another felony, including aggravated assault, the defendant may be charged with deliberate homicide.

If found guilty, Boyd could face the death penalty, life in prison or up to 100 years in prison. Aggravated assault carries up to a 20 year sentence and a $50,000 fine.

The circumstances of the death remain under investigation by the Big Horn County sheriff, the Montana medical examiner and the state Department of Health and Human Services, Harris said.”

Update:“A Decker man denied charges that he killed a 4-year-old, and a criminal case against his wife is still possible.

Bridger Franklin Boyd pleaded not guilty to deliberate homicide and aggravated assault on Tuesday in the Big Horn County courthouse.

He was charged in the death of Remington Boyd, an adopted child of the Boyds.

As part of Tuesday’s hearing, Boyd sought to have his wife, Jennifer Boyd, exempted from an order of no contact while the case is ongoing.

Asked for input, Deputy Big Horn County Attorney Randen Schoppe requested that Boyd not contact his wife, as investigators are still looking into her case.

“Mrs. Boyd is also under investigation for additional charges,” Schoppe said.

District Judge Blair Jones agreed and included Jennifer Boyd in the order of no contact.

Bridger and Jennifer Boyd brought Remington to Big Horn County Memorial Hospital on June 18. The child had extensive bruising and other injuries and was later transferred to St. Vincent Healthcare in Billings, according to case documents. Remington died there at 10:18 p.m.”
