Shannon Siders // 205

In July of 1989, an 18-year-old Indigenous woman in Michigan went missing after a night out with friends. Shortly after her disappearance, the local police received a disturbing call where a frantic man confessed to her murder. Years passed after the discovery of her body, and police continued to question people in and out of her circle. But it wouldn’t be until 22 years later that movement finally came to her case. This is the story of Shannon Siders. BONUS EPISODE patreon.com/goingwestpodcast CASE SOURCES 1.
