The Last Glimpse of Jermain Charlo

 On June 15, 2018, 23-year-old Jermain Charlo disappeared into the Montana night — vanishing from downtown Missoula after being seen on surveillance video walking with her ex-boyfriend, Michael DeFrance. That haunting footage is the last known glimpse of Jermain, a mother of two and a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.In this powerful episode, LaDonna Humphrey and David McClam uncover the details of that night, the turbulent relationship that preceded it, and the years of unanswered questions that followed. Through interviews, court records, and family testimony, they reveal a portrait of love, control, and violence — and a justice system that too often looks away when the victim is Indigenous.The investigation into Jermain’s disappearance has stretched across six years, two states, and countless searches. From the cell phone that pinged on Evaro Hill to the silence of sealed warrants, her story exposes the deep-rooted crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women on the Flathead Reservation and beyond.This episode dives into that broader epidemic — the failures, the resilience, and the movement to make sure every missing Indigenous woman is seen, heard, and remembered.If you have information regarding Jermain Charlo’s disappearance, contact Missoula Police Detective Guy Baker at (406) 552-6284.InstagramTikTokFacebook
