this is a 23-year-old mother of two we get a missing Person Advisory probably maybe a couple times a month and 98% of
those people who are reported missing are going to be found or their case is resolved it is unusual just to have
somebody vanish Germaine charot was 23 years old when she vanished on June 16th 2018 she was very active on social media

back on the reservation the reservation itself is 1319 million Acres it's mountainous there's numerous
Rivers there's numerous predators and every hour day minute that search area expands I think there's always that hope
that she's out there somewhere you didn't know Germaine I didn't know Germaine I dream about her I think about
her but what does she represent to you she definitely represents our people this is one of
many cases in Montana I know how to take pictures and visual representation of any issue is huge that red hand you

Montana face of missing and murdered indigenous people and now we're to the point where it's the first anniversary

her I'm ever going to say oh you know what I'm going to stop searching for her she's out there somewhere but where what
do you need to solve this case I feel like I got this puzzle in front of me but I don't have all the pieces on the
table quite yet one or two pieces could break the case someone out there knows someone out there knows what happened to
