Nancy Trottier, a 65-year-old teacher who dedicated four decades to helping children at the North Dakota School for the Deaf, was arrested on April 7 for an alleged crime she committed in the 1980s.
The case had gone cold until 2019, when investigators decided to revisit it using DNA technology.
During an October 2021 interview with police about her wrongdoing, Trottier avoided admitting guilt, giving answers such as “Maybe it was me” and “It could have been me.”
