lost and missing in indian country

Q: Why does it take so long to get anything filed?
A: The simple answer is this-when "reporting" went from paper reports to computer reports, sadly many law enforcement agencies did no go back and capture information on previous cases. The documentation was lost. Many of our older cases were discovered from old newspaper articles.  So, spreading the word throughout the Native American community is essential to re-capturing information on these old cases.
