— Sep 16, 2026
A federal Interior Department audit shows the Bureau of Indian Affairs Missing and Murdered Unit has been hampered by understaffing and funding redirection, leaving hundreds of referrals unreviewed, 83 open cases, and limited victim services for Indigenous families. Concurrently, Peter Martin’s disappearance from the Fond du Lac reservation remains unresolved as the case stalled after the assigned agent left in 2025, fueling frustration among his relatives who say no one has filled that role in the region.
