Carolyn DeFord, Part 2: The Disappearance of Leona LeClair Kinsey

This week, in honor of National Native American Heritage Day, we are re-releasing one of our most popular series: our three-part interview with Carolyn DeFord. Leona Kinsey disappeared on October 25, 1999; her daughter Carolyn has both searched for answers in her mother's cold case—and has pondered what she'll do if she finds what she seeks. Now an adult and an activist for MMIGW, and all missing and murdered Indigenous people through her Facebook group Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Carolyn continues the story of her young adulthood, and recounts the experience of hearing of her mother's disappearance from a state away.
