The body of Lori Long Chase, who went missing in 1983, was finally identified by DNA evidence last month and it has people like her sister hopeful that more missing Indigenous people can find answers through science.
Lori Long Chase went missing in July 1983 when she was just 17 years old. Phoenix Police investigated the case thoroughly, but it took over 40 years for her family to get answers. Memory Dawn Long Chase says if there is one thing she could say to her sister Lori, it's this, "I never forgot you." And because she never forgot and never stopped searching for answers, she's now able to lay her beloved older sister to rest. "I remember that I loved her," Memory said.
"And that page two composite drawing is identical to the last picture that I have of her even down to the feathered hair, that was very popular in the 80s. When I called the detective, you know they had no idea who this body was, I said, 'I think that’s my sister," said Memory.In order to find a DNA match for Lori, detectives had one lead: the son Lori had lost before her death.
