Blossom Old Bull suffered an unimaginable loss in 2020 when her teenage son Braven Glenn was killed in a car wreck. The early details made little sense: Officials told her police chased Glenn for speeding, and he ended up in a head-on collision with a train.
It took days for Old Bull to learn that the officer who chased her son worked for a new tribal police force patrolling the southeast Montana reservation: the Crow Nation Tribal Police Department. She went to its headquarters in a former Subway sandwich shop looking for answers and found it empty, the windows covered up.
The police department had just vanished, without any explanation for the grieving family.
This week on Reveal, in partnership with Mother Jones reporter Samantha Michaels and filmmaker Mark Helenowski, Old Bull searches for accountability.

** A Quote to Remember
------------------------------------------------------------
“When I had my name on the list to evacuate Gaza … I didn’t say goodbye to anyone, just to Lubna, because we were staying in the same place. And when I left her, it’s like – I can’t tell you what I felt. It’s like I’m leaving her to death.”
When Israel’s ground invasion hit Gaza City, Wafaa Al Rayyes; her pregnant sister, Lubna Al Rayyes; and their families evacuated. But only Wafaa’s family was able to get to Canada. Lubna remained in Gaza, trying to find a safe place to deliver her baby in her third trimester.
