The Pier at Cape Mudge: The Disappearance of Selina Violet Wallace

On a cold night in February 1971, 19-year-old Selina Violet Wallace disappeared from a pier on Quadra Island, British Columbia. Described as tall, beautiful, and full of light, she was last seen talking with friends near Cape Mudge. Despite extensive searches, no trace of her was ever found. Selina’s story reflects the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) — cases that fade from public view but remain etched in the hearts of families and communities. Contact Information: If you have any information about Selina Violet Wallace, please contact the Quadra Island RCMP at 250-285-3631 or email canadasmissing-disparuscanada@rcmp-grc.gc.ca [canadasmissing-disparuscanada@rcmp-grc.gc.ca]. * The loss of Indigenous women in remote communities * Generational silence and advocacy * The enduring power of remembrance

The Desert Between Us: The Disappearance of Gloria Jean King

On a late-summer day in 1996, 42-year-old Gloria Jean King (aka Gloria Jarvison) vanished somewhere along the highway between Albuquerque and Farmington/Gallup, New Mexico. Traveling in separate vehicles with her former husband, the pair stopped near Grants and Milan—and then their stories diverged. Gloria never made it home. Her vehicle was later found at the El Rancho Hotel in Gallup. She has not been seen since. Gloria Jeans Identifiers * Height 5’3”–5’5”, ~115 lbs * Brown hair, brown eyes * Last seen in red/maroon printed shirt * Scarred or missing left earlobe * Names: Gloria Jean King / Gloria Jarvison * Conflicting dates reported: August 9, 1996 and September 9, 1996  If you have information about Gloria Jean King, please contact the New Mexico State Police (Gallup District) at (505) 863-9353.

The Last Glimpse of Jermain Charlo

On June 15, 2018, 23-year-old Jermain Charlo disappeared into the Montana night — vanishing from downtown Missoula after being seen on surveillance video walking with her ex-boyfriend, Michael DeFrance. That haunting footage is the last known glimpse of Jermain, a mother of two and a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. In this powerful episode, LaDonna Humphrey and David McClam uncover the details of that night, the turbulent relationship that preceded it, and the years of unanswered questions that followed. Through interviews, court records, and family testimony, they reveal a portrait of love, control, and violence — and a justice system that too often looks away when the victim is Indigenous. The investigation into Jermain’s disappearance has stretched across six years, two states, and countless searches. From the cell phone that pinged on Evaro Hill to the silence of sealed warrants, her story exposes the deep-rooted crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women on the Flathead Reservation and beyond. This episode dives into that broader epidemic — the failures, the resilience, and the movement to make sure every missing Indigenous woman is seen, heard, and remembered.
