Summary

In today’s episode, we’ll discuss some of the confirmed murders from Yakama Nation. As you can imagine the list is far too long, so this episode will be solely focused on the unsolved murders. In future episodes, we’ll discuss the solved murders and the remaining cases that are far too robust and require their own episode.

So for this episode, I will be covering some of the unsolved murders of the Yakima Nation.
