Deaths and disappearances on Yakama Nation

Monday, January 22, 2007  

There have been nearly two dozen mysterious deaths and disappearances -- including a string of 13 in early 1990s -- on the Yakama Nation in Washington.

The Yakima Herald-Republic filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the FBI to find out more about the unsolved cases. Of the 13 victims in the 1990s, all were women, ranging in age from 19 to 44.

There also have been four disappearances and, more recently, seven homicides. All the cases are unsolved.
