Body of Missing Indigenous Woman Found in Yucaipa Desert

Amy Porter, 43, was discovered by family members after a Feather Alert was issued, amid criticism of law enforcement's response.

Amy Porter, a member of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, had been missing since September 14, following a car accident.
Family members found her body on September 22 in a ravine near Wildwood Canyon Road in the Yucaipa area.
A Feather Alert, a new statewide notification system to find missing Indigenous people, was issued for Porter.
Porter's family criticized the authorities for delays and perceived lack of urgency in the investigation.
An autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death, and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department is investigating.
