In this episode of They Disappeared, host Pat Draven explores the tragic and mysterious disappearance of 15-year-old Nevaeh Kingbird from Bemidji, Minnesota. On October 22, 2021, Nevaeh vanished without a trace, leaving behind a family desperate for answers. Nevaeh, a Native American girl from the Red Lake Nation, was last seen after a confrontation with her mother. As authorities continue to search for clues, the case raises troubling questions about the systemic issues surrounding missing Indigenous women and girls, an issue that has been tragically overlooked for far too long.

Through interviews with Nevaeh’s family, law enforcement, and community members, we investigate the facts, theories, and ongoing search for Nevaeh.

Days later, her car was found abandoned on Detroit’s east side. The door was open. Her clothes were inside.
