Fetal abduction is a horrific crime that occurs when a fetus is forcibly removed from a woman’s womb, usually via a cesarean section, and taken by another person. It’s very rare, but in the last decade the number of fetal abductions has doubled. Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind was a victim of one of these brutal crimes in 2017.

Every year, a disproportionate number of indigenous women go missing or are found murdered. But due to miscommunications between governing entities and a number of undocumented cases, there’s no accurate way to offer statistics on how many of these cases there truly are. According to a study from the National Institute of Justice, more than four out of five indigenous women experience some type of violence in their lifetime, which amounts to more than 1.5 million women. These women deserve to have their story told, but even a platform like ours struggles to do so because there’s so little information available in the media. So in today’s episode, we provide as much detail as we can about the disappearance of Ida Beard, because somebody somewhere knows what happened to her and her family deserves answers.
If you have any information about Ida’s disappearance, please call the El Reno Police Department at 405-295-9399.
