Unflippinbelievable!

Produce the child? Uhhhhh we can't.

Where is she?

I'm an old lady, and I would have somehow provided and taken care of that little girl. God, I hope she is with someone who cares enough to cherish a child.

Details of Disappearance
Mildred's relatives notified law enforcement of her disappearance in November 2020; they said they hadn't seen her since July 2018. Subsequent investigation revealed the last confirmed sighting was in the care of her guardian on the Crow Indian Reservation in Montana in April 2019. She has never been heard from again and the circumstances of her disappearance are unclear.

Investigators are trying to find two females in connection with Mildred's disappearance. They may be traveling in a white 2009 Volkswagen Touareg G2 TD with the Montana license plate number 22-7540C. Few details are available in Mildred's case.
 
Her "caregivers" were probably receiving financial benefits for fostering her. I wonder why theyC weren't required to take her to a pediatrician every 6 months or every year? The system failed. IMO.


You got that right, CB. A check.

I could care less if these two are married or not. They are missing a gorgeous child who deserved to be loved, nurtured and cared for.

Did they sell her? Administer corporal punishment that maimed her? Shifty, shady, sneaky criminals.

Mildred stole my ❤ heart.
 
I think they mean "last seen WITH".....this article indicates that Veronica Teirza Dust, 34, and her wife Roseen Lincoln-Old Crow, 34 were granted informal custodianship in March 2017. Could Lincoln-Old Crow be an aunt?

You are correct. The obituary for an elder of the same name at Legacy names Roseen as a daughter.

It is looooong. This elder Mildred had many kids and cared for a ton. All named. So, baby girl has what seems to be in our culture Greatgrandmom.

The tribal court had granted informal custody of Mildred to Veronica Tierza Dust and Roseen Lincoln Old Crow in March 2017. Photos of the two women are posted with this case summary. It's unclear whether they had any relationship to Mildred by blood or marriage.

On December 6, 2020, about a month after Mildred's disappearance was reported, a formal petition was filed with the tribal court, requesting a hearing because Veronica and Roseen had allegedly "breached their fiduciary duty" to Mildred. The court ordered the women to produce Mildred to prove her well-being. When they failed to respond to the summons, warrants were issued for their arrest. They were arrested in Billings, Montana in December 2020 and charged with misdemeanor endangering child welfare, but Mildred wasn't with them and her whereabouts are still unknown.

The circumstances of Mildred's disappearance are unclear.

It frustrates and distresses me that more isn't being done to find this precious beautiful baby girl. It really does. I live in the UK and yet I think of her all of the time.

It is very distressing to think about Mildred. But since she was just reported missing in November 2020, I’m trying to remain hopeful that LE and the tribal authorities are working hard behind the scenes to find her.

I do know the relationship between agencies is key to reconciling cases like Mildred’s. Having fostered a niece who was under a tribal authority (I am white), it can be difficult to take care of some problems in a timely manner. Not that the agencies don’t care, but protocols and jurisdictions can get in the way. Unfortunately.

IMO, Mildred’s informal custodians know exactly where she is. I’m hoping it’s just a matter of time before one of them fesses up.
