The unsolved murders of Native men at Rapid City Creek
Friday, July 16, 2021
The murders of three Navajo men more than 30 years ago still generates strong sentiments among residents of Farmington, New Mexico.
Dodge Benally, 34, John Earl Harvey, 39, and David Ignacio, 52, were brutally beaten and left in the hills. Authorities said the men were intentionally tortured.
Three teenage white boys were charged with murdering the men. They were accused of “rolling” Indians, a reportedly common practice in the Four Corners. Some non-Indians deny the practice exists.
