SIOUX CITY (KTIV) - Authorities in Nebraska are looking for a 19-year-old woman that went missing last week.

The database doesn’t have any information on when she was last seen.

Officials with the Santee Sioux Nation say they do not know if she is in danger, only that she hasn’t been heard from for over a week.

Ashleigh Wabasha, 19, was reported missing March 27, 2022.

“We looked for her for a long time, asking people if they knew anything,” said her mother, Michelle Denney.

Her body was found three weeks later on the Santee Sioux Reservation in northeast Nebraska.

Her case, as well as those of many other Native women, served as a reason for creating a bill to appoint a state liaison for Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons.

It was introduced by Sen. Jane Raybould of Lincoln.

“For context, Nebraska ranks seventh among states with the highest numbers of murdered and missing Indigenous women,” said Rose Godinez with the ACLU of Nebraska.

Many times, relatives of missing Native people say they feel they are not treated as a priority compared with other cases.

Wabasha’s family said there were many inconsistences in the case.

“People consistently say that my daughter was an accidental death,” said the father, Dewayne Wabasha. “I don’t believe that. We don’t believe that.”

“I was kind of upset because I just feel like nobody’s doing nothing,” she said. “Nobody’s doing nothing for our daughter.”

A new bill in the Nebraska Legislature would take on the unsolved cases of murdered and missing Native Americans, a problem in our state and nationwide.
