MURDERED: McKenna Wendel (Mini Episode)
McKenna Wendel was a 14-year-old member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe who disappeared from Sioux Falls in March 2026. Days later, her body was found near Brookings, South Dakota. Her uncle, Mark Milk, has since been federally charged in connection with her death. Milk had previously been serving a life sentence for murder before then-Governor Kristi Noem commuted his sentence in 2023, making him eligible for parole.
