From the creators of the grass roots movement #MMIWbikerunusa2020 & #MMIWbikerunusa2021 movements comes a new investigative podcast: Broken Trust: Indigenous Justice & Corruption.

In this series, we aren’t just telling true crime stories. We are exposing systemic failures. We sit down with victims' families to share the truth of their stories, we look at the raw data, and we use our investigative backgrounds to point directly at questionable police practices, jurisdictional gaps, and institutional corruption.

We will demand answers for cases left cold, decode the complicated laws that leave reservations vulnerable, and fight alongside families who refuse to let their loved ones be forgotten.

Trust has been broken for generations. It’s time to find out why.

Subscribe to MMIW Epidemic Broken Trust & Corruption now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen and help us help Indigenous familied left behind, still grieving, searching for answers so they can heal and their communities can become whole again.

  • What happened? And where is Tribal Elder Wesley Jones
    13 Oct 2026

    Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

    In August 2026, the FBI announced Voices Not Forgotten and a new reward protocol for qualifying publicly advertised Indian Country cases within FBI jurisdiction. The protocol provides a minimum reward offering of up to $25,000 for publicly advertised homicides, kidnappings, and missing-person cases in which the missing person is suspected to be a homicide victim. The initiative applies broadly to eligible cases; it does not mean that every missing-person case automatically has a $25,000 reward.

    Wesley’s public FBI case page requests information but does not display a case-specific reward amount.

    If you have information at all on the Wesley Jones case, contact your local law enforcement ASAP
