Three and a half years ago, Emmilee Risling, a 32-year-old Hupa woman went missing while suffering through a mental health crisis. She was last seen in the Pecwan area.

Today, the New York Times takes a long look at the case. Reporter Corinna Knoll writes about Risling’s precocious childhood, the events that led up to her disappearance, the frustrating and sometimes inexplicable bureaucratic responses that followed attempts to locate her, and the pain felt by her loved ones as her story remains unresolved.

Here’s a link that should give you unpaywalled access to the story. It’s beautifully written and well worth your time.
