My podcast today revisits the disappearance of 20 yo Ashley Loring HeavyRunner, a member of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana. Her case isn’t just a mystery—it's a reflection of a larger crisis, one where too many Indigenous women vanish without answers, and too many families are left to search alone.
