Puyallup Tribe member Leona Sharon Kinsey went missing on October 25, 1999 from La Grande, Oregon and still has not been found. Leona's daughter Carolyn still holds out hope, but she is frustrated by lack of law enforcement action on her mother's case. "John," aka Juan Pena-Llamas, likely the last person to see Leona before she disappeared, was deported to Mexico in 2006 and authorities have been unable to find or speak to him about Leona's disappearance. What happened to Leona Kinsey?
