    MYSTERIOUS DEATHS & DISAPPEARANCES: Nick, Virgil, Trey, Cole, & Noah
    2024/11/11
    You may have heard the phrase “missing and murdered indigenous women.” It’s movement that’s gained a lot of traction largely thanks to Native populations speaking up. But, in reality, Indigenous men are also at risk of violence. Sometimes, I think we forget that. Native people are roughly 10 times more likely to experience violence compared to the rest of the population. So, in this episode, we’re telling the stories of five men who either went missing or ended up dead on Tribal lands. These stories are from the archives. Please share this episode with your loved ones and across social media to help the families of Nick, Virgil, Trey, Cole, and Noah. Do you have a story you'd like to see covered on Floodlights?

  • UNSOLVED MURDERS: The Oklahoma Girl Scouts

    UNSOLVED MURDERS: The Oklahoma Girl Scouts
    2024/11/04
    When three young girls are brutally murdered in 1977 at girl scout camp, law enforcement set their sights on one person from the beginning: a Cherokee man called Gene Leroy Hart. At the centre of this story is, of course, the three victims: Lori Lee Farmer, Doris Denise Milner and Michele Heather Guse. These girls are still waiting for justice. But what many people still ask, all these years later, is how exactly did law enforcement come upon Gene? And did his Native American heritage, along with his criminal past, play a fair role in the investigation? Do you have a story you'd like to see covered on Floodlights?

  • MISSING: Emmilee Risling (Hoopa)

    MISSING: Emmilee Risling (Hoopa)
    2024/10/14
    In October 2021, Hoopa Tribe member, Emmilee Risling, vanished from an isolated part of the Yurok Reservation in Northern California. But her story is not just about being a missing person, it’s about an entire system that failed to protect her when she needed help. What you should also know is that Emmilee is the cousin of our Floodlights producer, Jack Kohler. When we describe this podcast as a personal project, we mean it. Jack, like many Native Americans, knows at least one missing or murdered relative. This crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people is real – and too often it’s up to Native people to fight the good fight alone. Do you have a story you'd like to see covered on Floodlights?
