The family of 18-year-old Brittany Sue MadPlume confirmed with MTN that she was found dead in a vehicle on the morning of January 12.

“We want answers. We want to know what the cause of death was. What happened to her? For people to not sweep it under the rug and act like it’s ok to go along with our lives when we’re still living in it. We’re still grieving in it. Her parents are in and out every day. They have to deal with this every day,” she said.
