The state is planning to hire a tribal liaison and may eventually be able to fund a few more investigators to address MMIP cases, Piscoya said. For now, he is working alone to review case information from Sears’ work.
Doing so has been “a slow process,” he said, due to the extensive information already gathered by previous investigators. “These cases, they’ve been worked.” Piscoya said. “Our troopers worked very hard on these cases. They work them until the information has dried up. There’s a lot of work into these cases already.
Ultimately, Piscoya said he hopes to bring more cases like Hill’s to the same resolution as Sergie’s. “That case is the goal,” Piscoya said. “To solve cases and get them through the adjudication process, and find closure and give closure to some of these family members associated with that case – so that’s the goal.”Alaska Public Media is our partner station in Anchorage.
