Kate Snow

She was a 32-year-old mother of five.

She was living on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in Newtown.

She was last seen leaving a local sports bar in her teal Chevy pickup truck.

Her daughter, Haley Abramson, told us that the family knew instantly that something was wrong.

Olivia's loved ones did all they could to get attention for her case.

They held candlelight vigils, distributed flyers, and searched tirelessly for her.

Her brother Matthew spoke to the news program Democracy Now!.

They also turned to Lissa Yellowbird Chase, an advocate who has dedicated her life to finding missing people in Indigenous communities.

Through her volunteer coalition, Saanish Scouts, she organized search efforts and brought trained dogs to help cover areas that hadn't been thoroughly explored.

And in July 2018, nine months after Olivia disappeared, Lissa found her.

Olivia's body was inside of a pickup truck submerged in Lake Sakakawea on her reservation.

Lissa is joining us now to tell us more about that search.

Lissa, welcome to the podcast.

Thank you.

It's so good to hear your voice.

You too.

It's been a while.

It's been a while.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, I think about you and Olivia's case all the time.
