Family members of Jessie Renae Waters who was found deceased on April 30, 2015 on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation want answers for her death.
Duane Benson, Waters’ boyfriend at the time, was sentenced to fifty-seven months in April, 2016 for burning down the home he shared with her in Oglala, SD. He pled guilty in this case in federal court and has been serving time for arson. Her pets were still inside the home at the time the mobile home was set ablaze.
The guilty plea was part of a plea bargain in which Benson was to be sentenced to seven years in federal prison for the burning down of the couple’s home. According to her family, he is set to be released in August 8, 2019. They are hoping the investigation continues and that the alleged killer is held accountable for their actions.
