Crime and Crime Again

Sometime on the evening of July 5th, going into the morning hours of July 6th, 2004, Tamra seemingly walked out of her home, while her five siblings were asleep, and while the adults in her life were drinking away from the home, having left all of the children alone. With no trace of Tamra, multiple theories arise, some quite troubling, and others simply absurd. Seventeen years after her disappearance, and still absolutely nothing has been found to lead to the whereabouts of the little girl.

Tamra Keepness is one of far too many Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls across the United States and Canada.

Brookelyn Farthing was 18 years old and had just graduated high school when she disappeared from a house on the 100 block of Dillon Court in Berea, Kentucky. She was last seen leaving a party after being offered a ride home from an older acquaintance, someone who her ex boyfriend had been friends with. Instead of taking Brookelyn home, this man took her to his foreclosed house at 4am, where there was no electricity or running water.

After attempting to arrange a ride home from family members, Brookelyn makes arrangements for her ex boyfriend to pick her up after he got off work at 6:30am. She told him that she would be fine to wait for him until then. But at 4:30am, Brookelyn began sending a string of alarming and disturbing text messages to him, telling him that she was scared and asking him to hurry. An hour and a half later, he received a message from her stating that she was fine and that she was going to another party in another county... at 5:30am.

When her family and friends couldn't reach Brookelyn for several hours after she hadn't shown up to her plans for the next day, they managed to reach the man who was supposed to have given her a ride home from the party the night before. This is when her family learns that Brookelyn apparently vanished after a suspicious house fire in the man's home.

This is the first case in a new monthly series where myself and Dr. Jules of Riddle Me That! True Crime will cover and discuss cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

Kaysera Stops Pretty Places was 18 years old and a member of the Crow Nation. She disappeared in Hardin, Montana in August of 2019. Five days later, she was found deceased under suspicious circumstances. Her death was classified as “suspicious,” however, there has been no investigation into what really happened to her, or who could have done this. The people she was last known to be with were not questioned, the homeowner of the house where she was found was not questioned, not even the jogger who discovered her body was questioned. Kaysera’s own family was never approached or interviewed about her disappearance or death, and her family has had to make a tremendous effort to communicate with authorities. They have found it extremely difficult to even get anyone to speak with them about Kaysera’s case. Investigating authorities have perpetrated numerous ethical violations and continuously enabled one another in doing so.
