This week we cover the results of preliminary investigations into two separate plane crashes in the Flathead — a fiery crash at Kalispell City Airport where all four passengers survived, and a tragic fatal wreck in West Glacier that has federal investigators searching for answers.

We also break down the arrest of Michael Paul Brown, the suspect accused of killing four people at the Owl Bar in Anaconda, following an extensive week-long search by local and federal authorities.
