The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are asking for the public’s help locating Mildred Alexis Old Crow, age 8, of the Crow Indian Reservation.

Subsequent investigation revealed that Mildred was last seen in March of 2019 on the Crow Indian Reservation, in the care of her Crow Tribal Court-appointed guardian.

Mildred has brown hair, brown eyes and is small in stature for her age.

BILLINGS (AP) — The body of a missing girl has been found on the Crow Indian Reservation.

Tribal Chairman Frank White Clay tells KULR-TV that the body of 8-year-old Mildred Old Crow was found.

Montana's Department of Justice issued a missing and endangered person advisory for Mildred in November 2020, but she had last been seen on the reservation in March 2019.

Two women were charged in tribal court in January with a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a child. A charge of custodial interference was added in February.

The women were granted informal custodianship over Mildred in March 2017.

Candle light vigil honors Mildred "Milly" Old Crow

LODGE GRASS, Mont. - A vigil for Mildred "Milly" Old Crow was held Monday night at the City Hall in Lodge Grass.

A vigil for Mildred "Milly" Old Crow was held Monday night at the City Hall in Lodge Grass.

People gathered to honor the memory of eight-year-old Mildred, who has been missing for almost two years.

Someone who attended the vigil said the event was also attended by Crow Tribal Chairman Frank White Clay, Mayor of Lodge Grass Quincy Dabney and Speaker of the House Thomas Yellowtail.

They said the event started with an opening prayer by Pastor James Takes Horse, followed by a reflection of the life of Mildred by her uncle's Darrin Old Coyote and Sylvan "Buzzy" Covers Up. Both spoke about the investigation and autopsy, as well as how the family wanted to come together to remember the life of Mildred.

A Crow Spiritual Hymn was sung by the Black Whistle Singers and Mildred's uncles, followed by the lighting of the candles to honor Mildred.

Pink and purple balloons were released in Mildred's memory as well.

To close, a prayer was spoken in the traditional Crow language by nine-year-old Tyon Gros Ventre.

 

[Guess Who]

I'm pretty sure that if she was found outside they would have only found her from a tip/confession. That ground would be frozen solid at that time. That and/or they didn't find her outside.

The body of Mildred Old Crow was discovered Thursday morning in an abandoned travel trailer in Garryowen.

The child was placed in the care of her biological aunt Roseen Lincoln-Old Crow, 34, and her wife Tierza Dust, 34, by the Crow Tribal Court in March 2017.

On Feb. 17, the body of a child was found on the Crow Reservation.

The Big Horn County Sheriff's office says available evidence strongly suggests the body is that of Mildred Old Crow.

Investigators are awaiting the results of DNA testing before they can confirm the body is in fact that of Mildred Old Crow.

Charges have not been filed in state or federal court at this time.

Pretty light. Hope more information, evidence and charges are coming. The child is dead.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

I didn't realize that they hadn't officially identified the body as Milly. I'm sure once the body is confirmed to be her via DNA, murder charges will follow.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I didn't realize that they hadn't officially identified the body as Milly. I'm sure once the body is confirmed to be her via DNA, murder charges will follow.

I guess I never though about that, I was rather hot about the 18 months. It does say they strongly suspect the body is hers. It does make sense they would not charge until having DNA and it is good I guess they found a way to put them away in the meantime. I mean assuming they did something to her which does seem likely.

 

[Kimster]

I guess they feel like they have time since they can keep them in jail for other charges.

I was kind of surprised that MSM Claimed they were so certain that it was her remains that were found. She was so young that she wouldn’t have had ID on her, and her state of decomposition would’ve been hard to recognize her.

Couple faces murder charges in Crow girl's 2019 death

A Montana couple faces charges of murder and tampering with evidence in the 2019...

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana couple faces charges of murder and tampering with evidence in the 2019 disappearance and death of a 6-year-old girl on the Crow Indian Reservation, according to court documents.

Mildred Alexis Old Crow was physically assaulted and left in a bathtub to drown before her body was wrapped in plastic and concealed inside a container, Big Horn County Attorney Jeanne Torske said in court documents.

The container was taped shut and remained hidden for more than two years while the defendants collected benefits that were meant for the victim, Torske wrote.

Roseen Lincoln and Veronica Dust, both 36 years old, could face life in prison if convicted in state district court. They remained in custody Tuesday on $1 million bond each and were scheduled to be arraigned on March 28 before state District Judge Matthew Wald in Hardin.

<snip>
The suspects in Mildred's death could not be reached for comment and did not have attorneys, court officials said. Lincoln previously was identified in court documents as Roseen Lincoln Old Crow.

The defendants were initially arrested in December 2020 as suspects in the girl’s disappearance. They were convicted months later of misdemeanor endangerment and custodial interference, and sentenced in Crow tribal court to 18 months in jail and $2,000 each in fines. The tribal court does not prosecute major crimes.

Mildred — a direct descendant of Chief Pretty Eagle, one of the Crow’s last war chiefs — was removed from her birth mother and placed in the care of Lincoln and Dust in 2017, Torske said.

Family members described the victim as their “Little Angel” and said she had loved to dance, especially at powwows.

Such evil.

And why is it neither of the two have an attorney? Are they representing themselves?

Smh. WHATEVER. There was so much done wrong here. The death of your brother and drinking causes you to MURDER a child? Give me a break. Hide it, like, you name it.

Intentional homicide of a child is not MINOR. And in my opinion this one was exactly that.

Personally I think cover ups alone of such should be life in prison as should concealing or tampering with the body. There is consiciousness in ALL OF THAT.

You know when I came in, I hit whatever and actually landed on the first page of this thread and so I read some of our old posts like about this child's estimated weight and more before she was found. I saw where she was given to these two women who were about 35 if I have it right. It refreshed me on the case a bit quickly. AND the lies.

A guilty defendant pleading guilty should actually be refreshing but in the same breath just even one charge should result in life in prison imo. Tampering with the body, obstruction, etc. and homicide for sure.

How is it this child was even put with such people...

Oh I read stuff, they drank for days when Lincoln's brother died or some such and that's when she died or went missing or something happened...

A quick read was a real refresher of things I had forgotten.

I guess one is to be happy she was found, some are not, and there will be 'some" justice.

When I saw the posts we all had back and forth about her estimated weight, I though of abuse and failure to thrive and more.

I almost doubt this child was ever a happy little girl for any or at least much of her life.

The entire thread is only 3 pages and the 3rd not full yet. It didn't take long to skim the posts.

In a sad way, I think that sums it up. Three pages on this child and these women who murdered her but were to be taking care of her. A case past five years old from when first known to be missing.
It's just incredibly sad. And outrageous at the same time.
