Sadly, this is the outcome no one wanted.
After 3 years missing, #leahkeeper 's remains have been found.
Sending my deepest condolences to her family, community, and to all who knew and loved her.
I hope they have some measure of peace, and that justice can be done for Leah, and for all missing and murdered women/men.

CW: CW - Mention of dismemberment, #MMIW
A #NativeAmerican girl was found dead and dismembered by an Arizona highway. Will her killer ever be found?
“Criminals and bad actors believe that they can get away with (crimes) on the Indian reservations.”
—attorney and activist Margo Hill-FergusonBy Rob Picheta
Feb 13, 2026"Carolyn Bender remembers her niece’s smile: broad and vibrant and heartbreakingly innocent, as though the whole world was in on her joke.
She remembers Emily drawing in the back seat of the car, and teasing her younger brother, and the sound of her soft-spoken voice. She recalls with a smile her love of being active in the outdoors: Emily was 'always on a swing, always in a pool.'"That’s how #EmilyPike’s family remembers her. But for many in her tribe and across Arizona, she is known for something else: Being the victim of a savage crime.
"Last year Emily – a 14-year-old member of the #SanCarlosApache tribe – went missing from her group home in #MesaAZ, an eastern suburb of #PhoenixAZ. Her dismembered body was discovered by hikers nearly three weeks later and around 70 miles away, stuffed into trash bags left by the side of a rural highway.
"A multi-pronged investigation by federal and tribal authorities, with the support of the #FBI, has seemingly stalled. And a year later Emily’s family is still left waiting, desperately, for justice.
But her grisly killing underscores a broader problem: an epidemic of violence against #NativeAmericanWomen and girls who go missing or are killed at a staggeringly high rate."Native people were reported missing more than 10,200 times in 2024, according to the latest available FBI data: a rate of 28 missing person cases a day, or more than one an hour. Over 7,000 of those cases involved children, and more than 4,000 involved girls.
"This is a crisis hidden in plain sight, campaigners and tribal leaders say. In 2023, homicide was the fourth-leading cause of death for Native American men under the age of 45, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the sixth-leading cause for women of the same age. And in a landmark study conducted a decade ago, more than four in five Native American women said they had experienced violence in their lifetime. "

If you haven't yet seen #taken on #aptn, I highly, highly recommend it..this groundbreaking series from #eaglevision explores cases of #mmiwg2s #mmimb2s from a humane, informative, and family and community led perspective.
You can find the series on https://watchaptnplus.ca/, for only about 5.00 a month #cad with a free trial.
I believe episodes are accessible from the #usa as well.

The #Manitoba #Government refuses to search the #landfill that contains the remains of two #Indigenous #women who were left there by a serial killer, citing safety concerns. But in #Canada we have successfully searched landfills for human remains in the recent past. These are just a few of those stories:

The #Conservative government has a duty to search, but they're too #racist and #bigoted to begin it.

On the morning of May 5th, the A.D White and Ezra Cornell statues in Cornell University had banners and red handprints in recognition of the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Cornell staff soon had them taken down.
Cornell Uni is the largest recipient of appropriated Indigenous land from the Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862 and the institution that accrued the greatest financial benefit from that land.
