‘Dallas’ star Patrick Duffy recalls night shotgun-wielding teens murdered his parents at Montana bar
Patrick Duffy has described how two teenagers killed his parents at their Montana bar in 1986, and how Buddhist chanting helped him and his family cope with the loss. His account revisits a case that brought national attention and led to long prison sentences for the two men.
Duffy said Sean Wentz and Kenneth A. Miller returned to the bar after his father, Terrence, had thrown them out for causing trouble. They shot Terrence and Marie, took cash and liquor, and later received sentences of 190 and 180 years in prison. Duffy learnt of the killings the next morning and told his young sons before travelling to Montana.
