The body of Native American teenager Selena Not Afraid was found about a mile away from the I-90 rest stop near Billings, Montana, where she was last seen on New Year’s Day, according to the Big Horn Sheriff’s Office.
Family, friends, members of the community, and even strangers, contributed their time for nearly three weeks searching for Selena.
Selena’s aunt, Cheryl Horn, was one of the hundreds who camped out at the rest area for days searching for answers in the teen’s disappearance.“We’re going to find our girl. And when Selena is found, there are hundreds of more girls behind her waiting to be found.” Selena is just one of many Native American women and girls who have been reported missing in the United States and in Montana. In 2019, the Associated Press reported that there were “nearly 300 cases of missing Native American women and girls reported to law enforcement agencies in Montana last year.
Selena’s aunt Cheryl told Dateline in a previous interview that she will continue to be a voice for missing and murdered Indigenous women, even after Selena is found. “A large percentage of these missing girls are indigenous,” Cheryl said. “But this is not just an indigenous problem, this is a human problem. And right now, I have a voice. You have a voice. Those who are missing do not have a voice and we need to be that voice for them.”“We brought our baby girl home. Now she can Rest In Peace. Jackie and I want to thank everyone for helping us bring our girl home .
