0:00.0	Warning, the following podcast is not suitable for all audiences. We go into great detail with every
0:05.6	case that we cover and do our best to bring viewers even deeper into the stories by utilizing
0:09.8	disturbing audio and sound effects. Trigger warnings from the stories we cover may include
0:14.6	violence, rape, murder, and offenses against children. This podcast is not for everyone. You have been warned.
0:22.5	The third leading cause of death for women in America is unintentional accidents.

1:21.4	to their friends at sleepovers, but instead they are dead and their communities are in mourning.
1:28.9	Ashland's death in 2017 sparked changes in the way native law enforcement and state law enforcement

1:42.9	Today's story will show you the failures in the justice system,
1:47.0	both before and after their murders.
1:49.0	But it's also a story about residential schools,
1:52.0	generational trauma, jurisdictional laws,
