You said like 100 something.
125 plus missing women.
And I remember in one of the sources for this and maybe our amazing producers behind the camera can look it up as we kind of move through.
But there's some crazy stat where those are the ones that are reported.
Yeah.
but like during that same period over like 4 000 actually went missing yeah and it's just like it's it's this insane thing where it's like why like how is this happening how is this epidemic still fucking happening well i was even reading about like just the history of why like indigenous women the reporting is so underreported and some of it had to do with the fact that like
of the indigenous women which also like if you're putting out these missing people reports and they're classified wrong like how do people even know who they're looking for like it's insane our amazing producer did get back to us here on that stat I was trying to remember and so I'm going to read you guys this
There were 5,712 reports of missing American Indian and Alaska Native women and girls in 2016 alone, according to the National Crime Information Center.
However, the U.S.
Department of Justice's Federal Missing Persons Database only logged 116 of those cases.
So they missed 5,000... Again, bad at math.
5,500-ish?
Like...
What the fuck?
And maybe one of the reasons why they did start thinking not human trafficking is because of our eighth clue.
On August 1st, 2018, the Missoula County Sheriff's Department applied for another search warrant.
Deputies wanted Google to hand over data from Michael DeFrance's Gmail account, including his
location history, search history, browsing history.
They did already have his cell phone records from Verizon, but this was going to be way more thorough than the one from just the cell phone service provider.
I mean, just think about how much data gets stored in the cloud.
