University of Montana Grad Featured On “Today Show”

My mom would watch the "TODAY Show" every day when I was a young lad getting ready for school. Every morning we would hang out with Al Roker, Katie Couric and the other former disgraced host who we won't mention here. To this day, my mom still watches TODAY Show.

So that's why I was intrigued when I saw a University of Montana alumnus appear on the show.

The story came out on the Sunday edition (Sunday Today). It brought the Today crew to Northwest Montana to look at the problem of unsolved cases on Native American land.

With members of the Indigenous community feeling frustrated by the pace of the Department of Jusctice's effores to address a long list of unsolvd cases of missing or murdered people in their community, one woman is leading the nation's first Indigenous-led foresnsics team to help get answers. - Today.com's video description

The video highlights University of Montana grad Haley Omeasoo using new technology and initiatives to help missing indigenous cases.

In the video, Omeasoo's team actively searches for clues or resolution in a missing person report regarding a missing 3-year-old girl. At one point in the report, Omeasoo becomes visibly emotional, saying that because of her own children, this story hits closer to home.
