Operation Not Forgotten sends agents to Native cold cases

Season 2025 Episode 181 | 9m 42s

For decades, Native Americans and Alaskan Natives have experienced disproportionately high rates of murder, rape and other violent crimes. Experts say it's an outcome of generational trauma and systemic abuse. Stephanie Sy reports from New Mexico, where a lack of law enforcement resources is just one reason why so many of these cases are never solved. It's part of our series, Race Matters.
