In this episode of Santana True Crime, I sit down with journalist, author, and podcaster Jayson Blair to discuss the haunting cold case of Ashley Loring HeavyRunner, a young Native American woman who went missing from the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana. We explore the heartbreaking details of Ashley’s disappearance, the struggles her family continues to face, and the broader crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) across the United States. Jayson shares his “boots on the ground” approach to investigative journalism, including his powerful conversations with Ashley’s family and even the main suspect in her case. This episode sheds light on a community often ignored by mainstream media and asks tough questions about justice, culture, and accountability. Learn more about your ad choices.
