desperate to bring their missing daughter home, it is part two of our special series, shedding light on the largely unseen crisis in california, the growing reports of missing and murdered indigenous women. >> reporter: today we are bringing you emmilee risling's story, and how a little-known federal law may be hindering the investigation into her case and many others. alongside the klamath river near the side of a road, there is a weatherbeaten flyer, on it, the face of an indigenous woman, 33-year-old, emmilee risling. she has been missing for more than a year. >> the most heartbreaking thing is that you may never see that person's face again. >> she had everything going for her, in the right direction , and everything started falling apart. >> reporter: emily's parents are heartbroken, their daughter vanished into thin air. her case is growing cold. >> it's really simple, we want to know what happened, where
3:06 pm
she is. >> reporter: what we do know, as a child, she was a ray of light. full of joy, so much love , so much potential. from an early age, she embraced her native identity. >> she loved her culture, she loved her family. >> reporter: the straight a student had a lot of friends and went to college on a scholarship, then her world began to crumble. a boyfriend violently abused her, she began to use drugs. >> so, this young woman who was so bright and so capable, the world was her oyster, she kind of became a different person. >> reporter: after birth of her second child, she developed postpartum psychosis. she was arrested for igniting a fire at a cemetery and put in jail. her parents hoped she

3:08 pm
>> it is taking away a tribes ability, or at least in theory, their sovereignty to have their own people, have their own law enforcement and investigate crimes on their reservation and put that onto the state. >> reporter: congress passed the law in 1973 , it greatly enlarged the power of certain states including california to handle major crimes on indian reservations. but with no additional funding. >> the sheriff's office has jurisdiction on tribal land, so you are having the government come in and telling a sovereign nation of what crimes that were enforced on their land. >> reporter: william is the sheriff of humboldt county, he sees this as a roadblock to solving cases. >> when there's no trust involved, a lot of times we can't even get our foot in the door. >> reporter: the family is angry, they feel law enforcement has given up. >> you have been accused of not doing enough, and you have got the money and the resources,

3:10 pm
if we can't find her? i said, david, we just keep looking. >> there are five states included in this public law and according to the ucla reports, entire federal programs including welfare, eduon and law enforcement were withdrawn. coming up, we will share a new angle to this crisis, how an entire school system was created to isolate indigenous children and how that could have led toward so many women being at risk.
3:13 pm
it is a haunting chapter in american and californian history, a school system created to isolate indigenous children and take away everything they know including their very names. the first of three federal investigative reports reveal some of the details and elizabeth cook is joining us again with more information on that part of the story. >> this wasn't that long ago and this isn't something that is always taught in school either, the truth is, indian boarding schools were prevalent in the u.s. and california and many of the young students who were forced to go to the schools never returned home. tucked between a busy street and a suburban hillside in riverside county lies a painful reminder of the past.

3:15 pm
scale, delay the ground to accelerate the taking of tribal lands. >> as the federal government removed themselves, they also worked to eradicate and assimilate native americans, alaskan natives and native hawaiians. >> reporter: 12 of these schools were in california, including one in riverside county. the children buried here are students who died while attending that school. deborah holland is the first native american to serve as the cabinet secretary as u.s. secretary of the interior, she ordered investigative report on the federal indian boarding schools. at these schools, children were forced to give up everything they knew . >> the languages, cultures, religions, traditional practices and even the history of native communities, all of it was targeted for destruction. >> reporter: philip williams is a tribal leader, for the largest tribe in california. it is located on a reservation in
3:16 pm
del norte and humboldt counties. as a child, he remembers asking his grandmother about speaking their traditional language at home. >> and she told me, you are better off forgetting this . >> that has got to be heartbreaking. telling you to be somebody you're not. >> she was taught in the boarding schools, where it was, you are better off forgetting your culture and becoming a white person. >> reporter: williams grandmother made it back home but many indigenous children did not. federal investigators have so far turned up more than 500 deaths in 19 schools. they expect the number of burial sites to increase. as to how these children died at the school, some records indicated by infectious disease or accident. >> really, a shameful chapter in history. where did the money
3:17 pm
for the schools come from? >> reporter: a lot of it came out of the indian trust asset, that was held for the benefit of indigenous visuals, and in addition, some schools raise money by selling those before and after photos that you just saw. those are of the children and it's pretty amazing that they use that as almost propaganda for what they were doing here. and profit. >> the goal is to have them be totally different. your series is going to continue tonight at 5:00. >> we will have more on those schools and how they impacted these boarding schools, and it may have put generations of women at risk for ending up missing or murdered. >> looking forward to that, thank you for that in-depth work, and if you missed any of this, you can watch part one of our special series on our website right now. we are keeping an eye on first alert doppler this

concorde, you will be the example so far, 61 degrees for that part of the bay, and if we go to the first alert doppler, there's rain off the coast, there's a few showers that are right off the coast from the futurecast, you can see they are going to be trying to cross the bay. but they don't have much success, we might get a light shower, then it is done. we will let that play forward all the way into wednesday afternoon and you are looking at more blue skies than anything else on wednesday, but there is one other added element, it is going to be breezy. if we watch the way this plays out, classic scenario for the next six months, we get into the afternoon, the onshore breeze turns on, not so windy everywhere else. let's take a look at tomorrow afternoon. it is going to be sunny, but at 2:45, we have to pull out the details, but we don't all experience the wind the same way. this is tomorrow in the city, wind gusts up to 25 miles
3:24 pm
per hour. even 30, you can see the deeper shades of orange along the coast. anybody near the water will have a windy day. but if you go to the majority of the rest of the bay, it is not, it is about a 15 mile per hour breeze . this is going to be the story going forward for the next six months. watch the onshore wind kicking up in the afternoon, it does it again as we get into thursday, then it takes a little bit of a break as we get into friday, that is the story with the breeze. we will also notice a bit of a warm-up, you can see that shows up, when you watch the showers on the map, you can really see how the temperature changes. then we start pulling in some warmer air by the time we get to friday. there's also a ridge of high pressure , you can see that clockwise circulation. we have a warm-up coming by the end of the week. if we take a look at wednesday, it's basically low to mid 60s, but
3:25 pm
across the seven day forecast, those numbers go to the mid-70s by the time we get in here. oakland, you are a good example of that. san francisco, you're not going to change that much, you are going to be breezy by the afternoon. everybody else will notice the warm-up. there's an 80 by the time we could do saturday, san jose will be right on the verge of that, and when we look at the microclimate for the warmest valleys, look at this, 66 degrees on wednesday. think of concord and livermore, that is you guys. 82 degrees by the time we get to friday and saturday. the beaches don't change much, and it'll be windy. back to you. san mateo county just cut the ribbon on the navigation center to help fight homelessness, the 240 shelter beds alongside support services to help people find permanent housing. each unit is 200 square feet of privacy, complete with its own doorbell.
