This is odd. Despite the family saying the body found at Spirit Lake was Carla, and even publishing her obituary, the FBI has not yet identified the body nor determined the manner of death:

On Sept. 21, authorities began to investigate a suspicious death on the Spirit Lake reservation. The Federal Bureau of Investigations and Bureau of Indian Affairs are leading the investigations, but neither has released or confirmed any details of the case. As of Tuesday, FBI officials in Minneapolis said they could not yet classify the suspicious death as a homicide, nor could they reveal the identity or gender of the victim.

Lissa Yellow Bird spent years tracking down missing Indigenous women, until one day her own niece Carla Yellow Bird disappeared, sparking a very personal mission to bring her back home.

Her mission became all too personal in August 2016 when her niece Carla Yellow Bird suddenly disappeared.

“Me and her father were so close. He always told me to keep an eye on her, help her out, don’t forget her,” Lissa told Dateline: Unforgettable.

“It wasn’t even a question of if I was going to find her,” she told Dateline correspondent Andrea Canning. “It was: I was going to find her.”


The BIA would later tell Dateline: Unforgettable they had no record of Bowman’s calls.

“BIA OJS takes seriously each and every case they are working to solve because agents, who are often members of the same tribal communities they serve, know that cases aren’t just a case file — they represent a family missing a loved one that deserves closure,” they added in a statement
