CSKT Council offers $10,000 reward for Charlo whereabouts
Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes release | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 5 years, 7 months AGO
PABLO – The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes’ Tribal Council has agreed to offer $10,000 for information regarding a woman who has been missing for almost a year.
Previously, Council authorized the donation of $1,000 for information on the whereabouts of Jermain Charlo. Earlier this month, family members of the missing woman asked Council for increased support in the form of an additional $9,000 in reward money, which would be paid out only if the information results in the filing of criminal charges.
“The hope is to that the Tribes’ investment will go a long ways in holding someone accountable for what has happened to Jermain,” said Tribal Chairman Ronald Trahan.
CSKT FUNDED the first Missing Person billboard for Jermain that was put up for six months. Since then many others have come forward to support the effort through donations. Council agreed to pay for another six months for the billboard at a cost of $2,600. Lamar Advertising donated a second billboard.
Tribal Council has been an avid supporter of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls effort in 2019.
Council wanted to express appreciation for state legislators and members of Congress who have fought hard on this issue.
