Stories of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

    Case 27: Ruby Bruguier and Arnold Archambeau

    Case 27: Ruby Bruguier and Arnold Archambeau

    On the morning of March 10th 1993, a motorist passed through the eastern side of Lake Andes, a town situated in South Dakota, near the Missouri River and close to the Nebraska border, when they witnessed a chilling sight; a woman’s body, floating in meltwater between Route 281 and a railroad. The motorist called the police, who diverged on the area and carried out their investigation. The following morning, beneath 4 feet of water and 15 feet away from where the female’s body was found, authorities discovered another body, which belonged to a male. Identifying the female was difficult as the body was badly decomposed, however a tattoo aided in their quest to name her. The man’s body was in better condition and authorities had no trouble in identifying him.

    The pair were Ruby Bruguier and Arnold Archambeau, a couple from Lake Andes, who had been reported missing three months earlier.

    Case 26: Autumn Prince

    Case 26: Autumn Prince

    By early 2019, Autumn Prince was 18 years old with her entire life ahead of her. She was described by her family and friends as a remarkable young woman who had a way of making everyone around her feel special. Known for her kindness and compassion, Autumn cherished spending time with her family and friends.



    On February 16th, 2019, Autumn visited her mother, Gardina's house on Bannatyne Avenue. She ate and showered there before leaving to spend time with her friends, as she often did. The following evening, on February 17th, between 8 and 9 pm, Prince's boyfriend arrived at her mother's house in a distressed and intoxicated state. He was visibly injured and covered in blood. He recounted to Autumn's mother that they had both been attacked at a house party on Ross Avenue. However, he claimed to have no knowledge of Autumn's whereabouts after the incident, stating, "I don't know. She left."



    Shortly after 9am on February 19th, 2019, with the purpose of hanging missing persons posters and visiting Rossbrook House—a refuge for young people—Autumn's mother, along with her 17-year-old sister and her boyfriend, made a tragic discovery. They found Autumn's lifeless body curled up in the foetal position amidst the snow, nestled between a chain-link fence and a house on Ross Avenue in Central Winnipeg. This location was just a few blocks from their family residence and not far from where a house party had taken place three days earlier. The unforgiving winter temperatures had plummeted to -25°C, and Autumn, a mere 18 years old, was found without a coat or shoes, clad only in a purple tank top and black tights. Her killer has never been found or brought to justice.

    Case 25: Teekah Lewis

    Case 25: Teekah Lewis

    On the evening of January 23rd, 1999, 2-year-old Teekah Lewis enjoyed her time bowling with various family members at the New Frontier Lanes on Center Street in Tacoma, Washington. Given that it was a Saturday night, the alley bustled with activity, and the parking lot was nearly at capacity. The bowling alleys league night, a popular community event held every weekend, drew a considerable crowd.

    Teekah and her family gathered at Lanes 7 and 8, situated near the centre of the bowling alley. While her family engaged in the games, Teekah freely roamed between the lanes and the arcade area. She indulged in various games, including a coin-operated claw machine, with the assistance of her uncle, who helped her win a Teddy bear, a gift she generously presented to her baby sister. Throughout the night, Teekah used quarters from her purse to enjoy multiple arcade games, savouring her favourite sweets, Starbursts, as she played.

    Between 10 and 10:15 pm, Teekah was engrossed in playing a race car video game in the arcade section of the bowling alley, mere feet away from her family and the exit. In a momentary lapse, Teekah's mother turned away from her daughter for no more than 15 seconds to attend to one of her other children. Upon turning back, she was met with the startling realization that Teekah had seemingly vanished into thin air.

    Case 24: Arden Pepion

    Case 24: Arden Pepion

    On April 22nd 2021, 3 year old Arden Pepion disappeared from the Blackfeet Reservation at approximately 7pm. According to witness testimonies, she was last seen in the surrounding areas of Joe Show East Road near the Two Medicine River off U.S. Highway 89 South in the company of her non-custodial uncle, who was babysitting her that evening. He was partaking in target practice down by the river, when he noticed that Arden had disappeared.

    Whilst searching the vicinity for his niece alongside his girlfriend, her uncle saw small footprints leading towards the Two Medicine River, approximately 40 to 50 yards down the embankment. The pair spent several hours, reportedly between five and six hours, searching the area for Arden, but couldn't find her and subsequently reported her missing to Blackfeet Law Enforcement.

    Case 23: Buffalo Narrows

    Case 23: Buffalo Narrows

    Buffalo Narrows is located in northern Saskatchewan, around 275 miles north of Saskatoon, Canada. 32-year-old Thomas Pederson and his wife, Bernadette, resided in the settlement with their children, Grace, Robert, Fred, Connie, Richard, Rhoda and Cynthia. The Pederson family were Metis Nation, meaning that they were of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry. In 1969, Buffalo Narrows was predominantly a community of Indigenous people of the Cree Nation and the population was approximately 700.

    The 30th of January 1969 was bitterly cold, with heavy snow blanketing Buffalo Narrows. 48-year-old Jean Baptiste Herman, from the village of La Loche, stayed at the Pederson home as a guest and two of the Pederson’s daughters, Cynthia and Connie, were absent, staying over with their grandmother that night.

    Sometime after 03:40am, Corporal Jack Fraser was awakened by Reverend Andrew Darsche who seemed shaken. A man had called him minutes earlier and confessed to having murdered those in the Pederson home with an axe.

    Case 22: Kala Williams

    Case 22: Kala Williams

    20-year-old Kala Williams was described by her loved ones as someone who brought everyone together, enjoyed to laugh and had many friends. She resided in Spokane, Washington, and would frequently spend time with her friends, family or her boyfriend. Her mother, Martine Maggio, described her daughter as "Some people just glow, because of their personality, you know? Kala was one of them."

    On April 2nd 2012, Kala was reported missing by her brother, who he hadn't seen for a few weeks by this time. Kala failed to show up at church in the latter weeks of March, something she did regularly, and she didn't visit any friends or family for a few weeks either which was very uncharacteristic of her.

    Williams' family began to fear the worst when they didn't hear from the 20 year old, and nobody had reportedly seen her. Kala's brother checked in with some of his sisters acquaintances to ask them if they knew anything regarding her whereabouts, but unfortunately to no avail. She'd simply vanished.

    Several weeks later on May 13th, Mothers Day, of 2012, Kala's body was discovered in a wooded area near Lindeke Street and 14th Avenue, approximately 7 miles from her home in southeast Spokane. Her family knew deep in their gut, upon hearing the news that a body had been found off of Highway 195 that it was Kala.

    Though due to decomposition, she couldn't be identified visually, fingerprint analysis confirmed a few days later that the victim was indeed 20 year old Kala Williams. The condition in which her body was found was nothing short of horrific.


    Those who have any information regarding the death of Kala Williams are urged to contact the Spokane Police Department on 509-625-4100.
