It started with a murder...but what followed was silence. And for one Choctaw family, that silence lasted for generations.
In this gripping two-part series, we dive into a mystery that stretches across time - a broken bloodline, a forgotten story, and the journey to uncover the truth. It begins with the unsolved killing of Adam Wilkins, who served as a Choctaw Indian Police and interpreter — and the great-grandfather of my guest, Amy Lemmer.
Still, as we’ve seen in true Choctaw fashion, this isn’t just a story about loss - it’s about legacy. Because Amy’s family didn’t let that tragedy define them.
In the previous series, her father, Woodrow Wilkins, Jr., gave us a window into a nearly 100-year life — telling stories of his childhood, his first picture show, his service in the military, and the deep cultural threads that tie their family to Choctaw history.
Now, Amy steps in to pick up where the silence began - and perhaps, where healing begins, too.
