The Unresolved Death of Olivia Lone Bear
The episode recounts the disappearance and death of Olivia Lone Bear, an Indigenous mother of five, whose body was discovered in a submerged truck in Lake Sakakawea in 2018, nearly a year after she vanished. The episode highlights the challenges in the investigation, including initial jurisdictional issues and a lack of communication from authorities. A significant focus is placed on Lissa Yellowbird-Chase, an Indigenous advocate and founder of the Sahnish Scouts, who played a crucial role in locating Olivia's body using sonar technology. The episode emphasizes that Olivia's cause of death remains undetermined and that the investigation is still active, with recent unsealed court records indicating an FBI search for Google location data from the night she disappeared. The episode also contextualize Olivia's case within the broader issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW), detailing alarming statistics, relevant legislative actions like Savanna's Act, and community efforts to raise awareness and support.
