The story of Whiteclay Nebraska, where Sherry Ann's body was found is as grim as any you will ever read - a town with a population of 14 that sold over 10,000 cans of beer per day to the populace of the Pine Ridge Reservation:

All sorts of stories and rumours have swirled around this tiny settlement, from unscrupulous liquor store owners cashing their clientele's welfare cheques to racist cops exploiting their status.

The Guardian article linked to above mentions at least 4 unsolved murders - Sherry Ann's would be one, and likely 2 of the others would be the double murder of Wally Black Elk and Ron Hard Heart in 1999:

Do any WSers know what the 4th unsolved case might be?
