47: MMIWG2S NC - Lumbee Women of Robeson County

Between April and June 2017, in the small rural Southern town of Lumberton, NC, whispers of a serial killer spread throughout the neighborhood. The bodies of three women were discovered within only a few blocks of one another. Their deaths would shine a light on the unknown number of missing and murdered Indigenous women of Robeson County whose homicides have yet to be solved.
