Where is she? Iowa Indigenous communities grapple with missing and murder cold cases

One tip can break open the case : six years later, family of missing Meskwaki woman continue quest for answers

TAMA COUNTY, Iowa (KWWL)- It has been six years since Meskwaki woman Rita Papakee vanished without a trace. Papakee was last seen on January 16th, 2015, as she left the Meskwaki Bingo casino, never to be heard from again. It has been a tough six years, Papakee s Aunt Ona Youngbear said. It is this not knowing that is hard. Papakee s family said it was not unusual for her to go for several days, even a week, without checking in with her family. However, after several weeks, her family feared the worst and filed a missing persons report in February 2015. That is what has been the biggest factor and being able to try and pin down her whereabouts over that big span of time, Meskwaki Nation Police Chief Jacob Molitor said.
