Yolanda Frazier is waiting for her granddaughter Kcera, an 18-year-old with her entire life ahead of her, who never showed up after plans to meet with her mother.
Law enforcement failed to handle Misty Upham's case properly and adhere to state legislature requirements regarding missing person reports, which highlights the systemic issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG).
KCera's remains were found on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, but police failed to secure the crime scene and actively investigate her disappearance, according to her family. Her aunt provided the police with their first lead, but justice has yet to be served.
The family of Ksera Dolar's, a native american woman who was found dead, is struggling to find answers from authorities months after her death. Based on conversations with the coroner, her family suspects that her death may be due to exposure from drugs or alcohol, common causes of death in Bighorn County.
The death of 18-year-old Kaseyra Williams is believed to be a case of murder due to the timing of her death and when her body was found, as well as the lack of conclusive evidence for a cause or manner of death. Her family has been met with non-answers and speculation from officials regarding her untimely death.
The speaker urges for attention to be brought to the case of Ksera Stops Pretty Places and for justice to be served in Big Horn County. She highlights the complexity of addressing cases on reservations and the pushback she has received for speaking out on this issue.
Hannah's mother, after tracking down the couple responsible for her daughter's death, successfully pushed for the passing of Hannah's Act in Montana. The law led to the creation of a missing person specialist position to help organize searches when people, particularly indigenous people, are reported missing.
Crime Junkie provides information on how to support the Justice for Caesarea petition and contact local officials, and encourages listeners to vote for those committed to improving conditions for indigenous women and girls in Big Horn County.
