This two-part investigative episode delves into the mysterious disappearances of two young Indigenous girls whose cases share striking and tragic similarities, becoming painful symbols of unsolved violence across North America.
Part One: Anthonette Cayedito (New Mexico, 1986)On an April night in 1986, nine-year-old Anthonette Cayedito vanished from her Gallup, New Mexico home. While authorities treated the case as an immediate abduction, the investigation quickly centered on the chaos and inconsistencies surrounding the adults in the house. We explore the terrifying 40-second phone call allegedly made by Anthonette a year later, the suspicious polygraph failure of her mother, and the decades of uncertainty that followed.
Part Two: Tamra Keepness (Saskatchewan, 2004)Eighteen years later, five-year-old Tamra Keepness vanished from her Regina, Saskatchewan home after a night marked by fighting and confusing timelines. Her disappearance triggered the largest search in the city's history and placed intense police scrutiny on the three adults present. We examine the details of the chaotic home environment, the mother's enduring pain and criticism of the initial police response, and why investigators remain convinced that someone close to Tamra holds the key to her fate.This episode explores the agonizing parallels between these two cases, highlighting the overwhelming burden of grief and the ongoing quest for justice in cases linked to the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
