MN I-35 1-94/ND I-29/ entering Canada/Reservations

Hi there all,

I am new here but after watching the full documentary season and having been aware of Joshua Zeman from “Cropsey”, I delved head first into trying to find more about if and how this could be found closer to home for me and noticed a large blank covering Minnesota, North Dakota, and as I’ve seen some mention Canada. Having two major interstates, I-29 which reaches through Minnesota and North Dakota into Canada (directly onto Canada hwy 1 and into Winnipeg Manitoba) as well as I-35 which can take you from Duluth on the shores of Lake Superior all the way to the Mexico border in Laredo TX. I can also tell you without a doubt that we have many many truckers frequent our large divided highways (MN 10, MN 2, HWY 375) to deliver to all the other parts of the state, often in secluded areas and just off of interstate exits leading to towns so small no one has ever even heard the names of them, and their city limit signs bare no population numbers at all.

As with LISK and any other crimes in that area of the country, details are kept tight lipped and mostly communities don’t want to admit someone could be coming into/through those little towns and picking up people who seem to vanish and never return, or even worse, live amongst them.

Often I feel these incidents are either kept from the public as this area of the country, particularly where I am from is a “this can’t happen here mentality” but when you can see from the pandemic and issues with stock and availability that these issues are infact welcomed into almost every community in North America out of the necessity the logistics provide to places who desperately are dependent upon them.

As a young girl I used to frequent a popular and well known truck stop with my grandparents as a Sunday dinner type of outing. At the time I thought nothing of some of the people I would see at these places, not realizing the split in society just even defined by simply smoking and non smoking seating. This truck stop has since closed, I had heard due to drawing a bad crowd, being directly on I-29 in Grand Forks, ND, edging just on it’s UND campus making students frequent visitors to the truck stop and it’s 24 hour amenities at the time. Also close to known drug centers and suspicion of meth production. It would be so easy for a person to get picked up there with complete trust of the other person and before you know it be in another state very quickly.

I offer up to you more experienced sleuths to help me try to find more examples like this one, a missing girl from Minnesota ends up in Texas years later. I’ve looked for the specific MO or similar MO as LISK or their counterparts past or present.

I have also stumbled upon some cases of dismembering or so called “torso murderers” which to me in a place as small as here, stick out like a sore thumb. Foul play in some of these cases in a local sense was apparent but never proven or anyone local directly charged.

But despite what people here think and what the rest of the country thinks about life here, this is def also happening in my backyard and often the passive/aggressive nature of small town America is very much hush hush and look the other way because everybody talks.

I want to help find some representation for the lost missing and exploited in my area because often they are from the “lower rungs” of society, marginalized and forgotten about. There is a huge amount of missing women amongst reservations already nationwide, and having some knowledge of how reservations themselves often represent that vastness and seclusion seen in Gilgo, LI, the Mesa, and just off of Atlantic City, local authorities do not investigate or blink an eye at reservations because most of them have their own law enforcement who are paid for and run by casino owners/tribal leaders, who want visitors to stay, play and pay without ever knowing what lurks beyond their bright lights.

“Sex trafficking and prostitution – Indigenous women, girls, and two spirit people are more likely than people from other racial groups to be trafficked, both because they are more likely to experience the risk factors listed above that make them vulnerable to predators, and because of gender- and race-based stereotypes that portray Indigenous women as highly sexualized and available for men. The perpetrators who exploit Indigenous women, girls, and two spirit people may also be aware of jurisdictional issues that may impede investigation and prosecution when Indigenous people are trafficked in Indian Country. A focus on entertainment and extractive industries is also warranted due to increased prostitution and trafficking activity at hotels and casinos; in areas with “man camps” (e.g., oil fields, mining sites); and large sporting events and other places where lots of men tend to congregate. Indigenous people who are being trafficked may not have access to adequate, trauma-informed, non-judgmental, culturally responsive services to help them escape from their abusers and heal from the many negative physical and emotional consequences of being exploited and abused.”
