<<Whiteskunk, whose brother was also murdered, said the last time she saw her son Odell J. Vest, was in their home in Towaoc, the capital of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe in southwest Colorado.

“I just wait, I wait, I wait, I wait,” Whiteskunk said earlier this month. “I live my life day by day.”

She has heard from investigators only a couple of times since Vest disappeared. They say the same things when they contact her, she said. “We’re still looking, we’re still searching.”>>
