32-year-old Olivia Keri Lone Bear, a member of the Ma-xo-xadi clan, loved the outdoors, playing sports such as volleyball and basketball, and was an energetic and warm individual. New Town, North Dakota was where Olivia felt at home, despite living much of her life as a free spirit, travelling and exploring new places. She was hard working, obtaining her high school diploma despite the challenges of pregnancy at the time, and later worked at the Four Bears Casino and Lodge so she could provide for her family. She was devoted to her beloved children, and the rest of her family. They knew something was awry when Olivia failed to return home following her departure from a local bar on October 24th 2017. Nor Olivia, or the pick up truck she departed in, could be traced. 

Almost a year after Olivia vanished, volunteers out on Lake Sakakawea found the pick up truck that Olivia had been driving that night, 21 feet below the surface. After recovering the vehicle from the lake, authorities discovered Olivia's body strapped into the passenger seat, a detail which has baffled many investigators and amateur sleuths alike. If Olivia wasn't driving the vehicle when it ended up in the lake, who was? Ultimately, how Olivia met her demise is unknown; even the medical examiners couldn't definitively determine her cause of death. Lone Bear's remaining family and friends are still looking for answers, holding on to the hope that someday the truth will out.
