Leanne Hausberg

Leanne was 14 years old when she vanished from Brooklyn, New York on March 18, 1999. She was last seen waiting on a street corner and never made it to school. She has never been seen again.

Her case was quickly labeled a “runaway,” delaying the investigation for years and leaving her family to search for answers alone. This episode looks at what was missed, what was ignored, and how Leanne’s story reflects the broader crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.
