42: Rosenda Sophia Strong: Devastation in Yakama

When Rosenda goes missing in 2018, there are far too many witness accounts of what could have happened, yet the police wouldn't take her sister Cissy seriously. The rumors and wondering all tie together almost a year later when Rosenda's fate is tragically discovered. Rosenda is a Native American woman, someone who was at a far greater risk to suffer the ending that she did. When Native women are disappearing and being murdered at a rate 10 times the national average we have to look into these cases and ask ourselves what can WE do to help the indigenous people in their fight for 'no more stolen sisters.
