GREAT FALLS- The Great Falls Police Department on Friday afternoon told MTN News that the disappearance of Brook-Lyn Arrowtopknot last month is now being treated as a kidnapping.
The GFPD told MTN News that a “physical altercation” took place Dec. 26 near Chowen Springs Loop and 15th Street, which resulted in a person sustaining a life-threatening injury. The nature of the injury and the person’s current condition have not been released.
Shortly after the assault, a man was seen leaving the area while assaulting a female; the female has since been identified as Brook-Lyn Arrowtopknot. Great Falls police issued an “attempt to locate” on Arrowtopknot a short time later.
