Summary

In today's episode, we're traveling back to 2017 to revisit the disappearance of a young woman named Ashley Loring HeavyRunner, a member of the Blackfeet Nation. She walked away from a gathering in a small Montana town and was never seen again. Her case is not 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.
