There were far too many bodies found in such a short time for it to be a set of coincidences. These murders are unsolved. The Rapid City Police Department gave up on trying to solve them years ago. I wonder if they would have given up so easy if all of these men were white. Operation Lady Justice Task Force was set up in Rapid City by the White House and the question we posed to the U. S. Attorney’s Office is: Are you going to include the names of the Indian men found murdered at Rapid Creek as a part of your “Lady Justice Task Force?” So far we have not received an answer. The murders of Indian men in Rapid City stopped only after the Indian community set up a group of Natives to patrol Rapid Creek every night. There has always been suspicion that a group of white teenagers found that murdering Indian and white homeless men would make for a good sport. The same thing happened in Farmington, New Mexico. In the 1980s. Several white teenage boys started to murder intoxicated Navajo men by bashing in their heads with rocks. In this case they were finally apprehended after killing several Navajo men, but they were all teenagers so they were sentenced as teens and all of them were out of juvenile jail after serving only a few years.Operation Lady Justice Task Force Opens Second Cold Case Office in Rapid City, South Dakota!
