Season 3: Trouble in Sweetwater Violence. Retaliation. Disappearances. The Navajo Nation is 27,000 square miles of remote terrain with just over 200 tribal police officers. This season on Stolen, Connie Walker’s investigation into the cases of two missing women leads her on a search for justice in a place where people say you can get away with murder. Reporting for Stolen: Trouble in Sweetwater was supported by the International Women’s Media Foundation’s (IWMF) Fund for Indigenous Journalists reporting on issues related to Missing & Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP) with a concentration on women, girls, Two-Spirit, and transgender people. Season 2: Surviving St. Michael's Last May, investigative journalist Connie Walker came upon a story about her late father she'd never heard before. One night back in the late 1970s while he was working as an officer in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, he pulled over a suspected drunk driver. He walked up to the vehicle and came face-to-face with a ghost from his past—a residential school priest. What happened on the road that night set in motion an investigation that would send Connie deep into her own past, trying to uncover the secrets of her family and the legacy of trauma passed down through the generations. In Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's, Connie unearths how her family's story fits into one of Canada's darkest chapters: the residential school system. Season 1: The Search for Jermain In 2018, a young Indigenous mother named Jermain Charlo left a bar in Missoula, Montana, and was never seen again. After two years and thousands of hours of investigative work, police believe they are close to solving the mystery of what happened to her. We go inside the investigation, tracking down leads and joining search parties through the dense mountains of the Flathead Reservation. As we unravel this mystery, Stolen: The Search for Jermain examines what it means to be an Indigenous woman in America. Stolen is hosted by Connie Walker.

Massive disappointment over season 3

I had hoped that, with the success of Season 2, that Season 3 would be really great. But nope, Seasons 1 and 3 are essentially typical “true crime” podcasts with an attempt to educate listeners about Native culture. Neither story warranted entire seasons and there was no closure for any of the cases. I felt like both seasons were a waste of my time. Connie Walker also does several things that I find questionable/ethically troubling, including not verifying different people’s accounts of the same incident, using people’s full names when talking about them and basically slandering them, and over-dramatizing everything. She also tends to repeat what she was just told in a really irritating way—again, a massive waste of time. There are so many better podcasts out there.
A Voice for Those Whose Voice Was Silenced

Connie Walker puts a human face on a human story. She is a voice for many who have had theirs taken. Her passion for the truth and to share that truth is well worth the listen. She tells it like it is with genuine compassion for those who have suffered. She has brought me to tears several times. I hope Stolen is picked up by another production company. She has created 3 seasons with 3 stories and 3 hard truths. There are thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls whose story needs to be told. These are souls who have touched a collective millions of lives and deserve to have a voice.
