How sad for both of their families, I was so hoping that they would be found alive. I know the families are waiting for official identification, and I will pray for strength for them during this tragic time.

“It’s a sad time but at the same time a happy time because we found them,” said mother of Robert "RJ" Kills Enemy Jr. and aunt of Vincent "Stevie" Little Dog.

“Although it wasn’t the way we wanted, they still came home” which is a “major relief for me,” she said.

“Right now my family is going through a hard time,” said GS, uncle to the cousins. “But at the same time we’re feeling a lot of relief knowing that their bodies are back” and we can give them a proper burial.

RJ and Stevie both enjoyed sweat lodges and other Lakota ceremonies, and were helpful to their families and greater community by cooking food for funerals, powwows and other events, family previously told the Journal.



Stevie, who lived eight miles north of Manderson, was a quiet person who enjoyed playing basketball. He and a twin brother were raised by their grandmother after their parents died.

RJ, who lived in Manderson, had recently started a new job to support his two-year-old son, girlfriend and her parents.
