Description

Jermain Charlo was an Indigenous mother who went missing in Montana in the summer of 2018. Relisha Rudd, an 8-year-old Black girl, went missing in Washington, D.C. in March 2014. Neither has been found. Unlike Gabby Petito, these cases didn't grab national headlines. <a href="https://twitter.com/connie_walker">Connie Walker</a>, host of <a href="https://gimletmedia.com/shows/stolen/6nh48r8/introducing-stolen-the-search-for"><em>Stolen: The Search for Jermain</em></a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/jonquilynhill">Jonquilyn Hill</a>, host of <a href="https://wamu.org/show/through-the-cracks/"><em>Through the Cracks</em></a>, join Sam to discuss why cases of missing Black and Indigenous people don't get the same kind of attention from media and law enforcement. <em>You can follow us on Twitter @NPRItsBeenAMin and email us at samsanders@npr.org.</em>
