We continue our coverage of the disappearance of Pepita Redhair, who was last seen at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. 
Pepita Madelyn Redhair, a young woman who grew up in Crownpoint on the Navajo Nation reservation, longed for adventure. Still, she stayed incredibly close to her family, despite living 140 miles away in Albuquerque. When Pepita suddenly went silent on March 27, 2020, her mother Anita King knew something was terribly wrong. The response she received from law enforcement launched her family into a nearly six-year fight for answers that highlights  issues with investigation of IPV (intimate partner violence) and the broader crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and relatives (MMIWR/MMIP)—and the systemic failures that leave families searching on their own.
Anyone with information about Pepita's disappearance is asked to contact Albuquerque Police Department: 505-768-2020 or the Bernalillo County District Attorney's Office: 505-222-1101  There is a 3,000 dollar reward in her case.

Today, we're sharing the first episode of Safe to Drink, a new podcast series from the Pulitzer Prize-finalist Document team at New Hampshire Public Radio.
When residents of a New Hampshire town discover their drinking water is contaminated with PFAS, chemicals linked to serious health risks, they are told there is no cause for alarm. But as illnesses mount and questions go unanswered, families begin to push back.
Hosted by NHPR climate reporter Mara Hoplamazian, Safe to Drink investigates how environmental contamination is handled when the science is evolving, regulations lag behind, and responsibility is diffuse. Through deep reporting and personal stories, the series examines who bears the burden when systems fail to act.
If you care about accountability, environmental justice, and the people fighting to be heard, this story will feel familiar and urgent.
