Summary

Selena Not Afraid was a young Native American teen who was out with friends one night, when they started having car trouble on the road. While waiting at a rest stop for a friend’s parent, Selena disappeared. She was missing for about three weeks before her body was discovered nearby, frozen. But the situation all seemed suspicious, like there was something missing in the story.

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel and thanks for joining me for another true crime video.

Today we're going to be talking about the Selena not afraid case and if you haven't heard of it,

0:14.1

that's okay. A lot of people haven't heard of it because, of course, it wasn't covered much

0:18.4

by the media. Selena went missing on New Year's Day 2020. So very recently, Selena's family

0:25.0

wants more eyes on this case and recently they expressed that it's been harder to get

0:29.4

attention on it because of quarantine and everything going on in the world right now.

throughout the United States. But the Department of Justice, Federal Missing Persons Database only

1:33.2

logged 116 of those cases. And on some reservations in this country, women are 10 times as likely to be

murdered than the national average. 84% of indigenous women have experienced physical, sexual, or psychological

1:57.2

They march on Main Street, Montana. We want to know there are family members.

2:03.6

We need to find out what happened to them. It's just important that they do a thorough investigation
