Yurok missing-and-murdered investigators talk about the work

The hard numbers on missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW) do not include the near-misses: Yurok women have told the tribal court they were approached by would-be traffickers, but made it to safety. The tribe has since declared a state of emergency on MMIW and hired a full-time investigator for such cases.

We get a refresher on the scope of the issue and some discoveries, with investigator Julie Oliveira and her supervisor, Rosemary Deck.

AND we got the tip line, available to ANYONE in Southern Oregon or Northern California: Yurok MMIP Tip Line: 1-833-YRK-MMIP or 1 (833) 975-6647
