Over the years she has heard rumors and stories about Rose being spotted at homeless camps, and she’s followed up on every lead, to no avail. With women of color, the wheels of justice grind slowly – if at all – and media attention is all but non-existent. She and the family are in regular contact with Yakama Nation Tribal Police and the FBI, who are investigating Rose’s disappearance, and they continue to report everything they hear.
