There is a nationwide epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous women in the United States and Canada. Mountain Murders examines the cases of three murdered indigenous women in Lumberton, NC. Christina Bennett, Rhonda Jones, and Megan Oxendine were all found deceased within a few blocks of one another in 2017. However, Lumberton's missing and murdered women extend farther back in time with little information available. There are significant issues within law enforcement agencies as well as violent crime in the community, creating an unsafe atmosphere for these women. While some speculate a serial killer has been preying on native women, others suggest it is indicative of a more significant issue in Robeson County, which has been listed as having the most violent crime in the state of North Carolina.Intro Music by Joe Buck YourselfHosts Heather and Dylan Packerwww.patreon.com/mountainmurderspodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mountain-murders--3281847/support.
