MMIW Cases

To Whom It May Concern,

I am currently in the process of fulfilling an open records request that you filed in reference to the data on all cases of: unsolved missing persons, homicides, suspicious deaths, and deaths in custody involving an Alaska Native/American Indian woman or girl victim within your jurisdiction(s). For the purposes of this request, "Alaska Native/American Indian" is defined as any individual who was identified as a member of an Alaska Native or American Indian community or as having Alaska Native/American Indian heritage. "Woman or girl" includes all victims identified as females, as well as transgender women. If there are any Jane Does that have been identified as potentially Alaska Native or American Indian, please include them as well. We are requesting cases dating from 1900 to the present.

This request has been assigned to our IT department. We should be able to provide electronic copies if there are any records. Please provide me with the email address you want records sent if we have any. If you feel the need to call my cell number is (701) 590-1496.
Regards,

Annita Lucchesi,

We have searched our records and could not locate any case that met the requirements in your request. We did locate two SOLVED cases involving juveniles that were found. The one was actually out of Poplar MT that we received an Amber Alert on. If you need anything please let me know. This hopefully satisfies your below requests. Feel free to contact me at (701) 590-1496 if you have any questions.
