78. Invisible: The Faceless Native Women Who Go Missing with Darlene Gomez

The Silver Linings Handbook

Today, we discuss the heartbreaking stories of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People with Darlene Gomez, a New Mexico attorney who advocates for them and their loved ones and whose own friend, Melissa Montoya, disappeared at a bar on St. Patrick's Day in 2011 in Dulce, New Mexico. Darlene walks us from Melissa's case, the search for justice for her and others and the broader challenges with law enforcement, jurisdictional issues and mistrust when it comes to criminal justice in Native communities.
