The FBI hasoffered a $10,000reward for any information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the disappearance of Mary Davis Johnson.
Nearly a year ago, on Nov. 25, Johnson was spotted walking east on Firetrail Road on the Tulalip Reservation in Washington State.
“Mary was traveling to a friend’s house and never arrived,” states an FBI poster. “She was reported missing December 9, 2020.”
“We have several persons of interest,” Sallee says. “We have not developed one single suspect.”
For Indigenous females aged 19 and younger, murder is the third leading cause of death, reports theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention.
TheNational Institute of Justice, a research arm of the U.S. Department of Justice, found that more than four out of five Indigenous women have been subject to violence, and more than 50 percent have experienced sexual violence.
In some counties, Indigenous women are 10 times more likely to be killed than white women, according to the institute.

Those numbers helped pushU.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland— the first Native American appointed to a presidential cabinet — to form aMissing & Murdered Unitwithin the Bureau of Indian Affairs in April to pursue justice through a coordinated federal agency response.
Nona Blouin, Johnson’s older sister, says it has been difficult not knowing what happened to her.
Johnson is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 110 lbs. She has a sunburst-type tattoo on her upper right arm and a birthmark on the back of her neck.
“If you’ve seen anything of our sister, even the smallest thing, maybe you thought you’ve seen her in a parking lot or a store, please call in and help us for the safe return of our sister,” says Blouin.
Anyone with information should call the FBI’s Seattle Field Office at 206-622-0460 or contact Tulalip Tribal Police Det. David Sallee at 360-716-4608.
