Welcome to Women and Crime Reconsidered, where we're revisiting our catalog and bringing new insights or updates.

Today's episode is number 48, Deborah Black Crow McNeil.

Today's case was the first one I covered that involved a murdered indigenous woman.

The crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women has finally begun receiving broader

public, legislative, and media attention. But the underlying violence

remains severe and disproportionately high. Indigenous women continue to face some of the highest rates

of violence in the United States, even as advocacy movements have pushed the issue into the

national spotlight. And speaking of advocacy, Deborah's family publicly advocated

that her killer stay behind bars beyond a parole decision that would have released him. To find

out where the case stands today, please stick around at the end. But before we get to these

developments, let's hear our original coverage of the Deborah Black Crow McNeil's story. A brutal act of violence against a Native American woman in her own home highlights an epidemic of violence. The community rallied to fight for justice for this woman. But what about all the other forgotten women? Will they ever receive that same justice?

This is episode 48, the Deborah Black Crow McNeil story. Music Hi, Amy, great to see you.
