Journey Home for Turtle Mountain Woman Comes to a Close, 15 Years After She Was Reported Missing | Opinion

Melissa’s long journey home to North Dakota—both in time and distance—will end soon. Her remains are due to return this week to Turtle Mountain.

For her loved ones, Melissa is not a statistic. She is family.

I am very curious about the original renter of the storage unit and how Missy ended up there.

"The caller told officers the storage unit was being cleaned out after the death of the person who had been renting the unit," said Sgt. Quincey Tait with the Durham Police Homicide Investigation.

Police would not say whether the renter who died was suspected of being involved in Poitra's disappearance or her death.

Remains found in Durham self-storage facility are those of woman missing since 2005
