Remembering Rae Elaine Tourtillott And Preventing Future Violence
Menominee tribal member Rae Elaine Tourtillott was 18 when she went missing on the tribe’s reservation during the fall of 1986. Tribal police and the FBI found her remains the following spring. The case remains unsolved and no arrests have been made in connection with her death. Tourtillott’s daughter, Alysse Arce, and cousin, Andrea Lemke-Rochon, sat down to talk about her with WPR’s Danielle Kaeding. They also shared their hopes for a new Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Task Force.
