Agreed, it’s a shame about this gal.

They had a gal go missing around here, years ago.

Asked for the public’s help in finding her.

Of course, they left out the little fact that they in fact knew what direction she went.

So how many volunteers were all looking in the wrong place?

[bgill]

Oh, no.

[Veto!]

So sad. She was a pretty little girl. If she was found that close to a house, I don’t think she was lost. So this leaves murder. May God rest her soul, and may the police find her killer.

Tribal police...may or may not care.

[Veto!]

Reading Tony Hillerman’s stories can give you an insight into the peculiarities of reservation law enforcement.

Which stories? I'm interested.

[logi_cal869]

It’s ok. Your recollection is inaccurate and not a spoiler in any way.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Wind River was not so good. Bad guys were all the same. Government. Then there was the shootout between security(federal contractors) and local cops. Can’t see it coming to that.

[Secret Agent Man]

Tribes also have their own law enforcement officers....

99.90234375%, exactly.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

1-(1/1024) = 1023/1024 = 0.999023438 = 99.9023438%.

I think your calculator might be broken.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Easy...1023/1024

[Pelham]

‘The Blessing Way’ and ‘Dance Hall of the Dead’ would be his first two.

His stories feature Navajo Tribal policeman. And you will learn more about the culture and religious beliefs of the Navajo and other Indians than you ever imagined existed.

If you use Amazon or Kindle you might want to try one from Audible.com. I enjoy listening to them while I’m busy doing something else.

The billingsgazette is one annoying site.

It sure is. Wouldn’t let me read the story until I let them run ads - so I let them run ads and they STILL wouldn’t let me read the story.

[raybbr]

Were you watching it as documentary or as entertainment? As entertainment it was very good movie.

[jazusamo]

Here’s a list, many of which I read and they’re all good as I remember, it’s been a while back.

[Chickensoup]

saw a bit of that in the Longmire series on TV

[SaveFerris]

Oops I think I flipped it

Thanks for the correction, LOL. I’ll have that removed.

[null and void]

And who would have a better chance of inducing a young tribal girl into his (or her?) car than a tribal cop?

[cherry]

remember the case of the little girl raped by her indian father on the rez....they had so little regard for this little girl that the family...wife and sons and relatives....all argued that the daddy dearest was needed at home and it would be a hardship if he had to go to jail for rape of they're dtr the brothers' sister.....

such is value of females...
