Where They Last Saw Her

From the time she was a girl and saw Jimmy Sky jump off a bridge, Quill has been aware of the trauma and tragedies in the lives of the people on the Red Pine Reservation in Minnesota. Although she has a loving husband and two children, she can only quell her anxieties by running. While training for the Boston Marathon, Quill hears a woman’s scream in the woods. She’s convinced another Indigenous woman has been kidnapped or worse, but she feels the tribal police don’t take her fears seriously. Together with two friends who run with her, Quill investigates. Her normally placid husband is angry that she endangers herself and their children, but Quill can’t let go of her anger and suspicion that white men from the nearby pipeline camps are drugging and kidnapping Indigenous women. When she witnesses an attempted kidnapping at the casino, and one of her friends disappears, Quill becomes a voice crying for justice, demanding that the authorities search for the women who are being exploited.
