TREA SHAY NORTHRUP WAS 19. HER LIFE MATTERED. PAY ATTENTION TODAY.
This morning, Not Our Native Daughters released a press statement with Trea’s family announcing a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in connection with her death, should a crime be established.
We sent the release to newsrooms, journalists, the Department of the Interior’s Missing and Murdered Unit, Department of Justice contacts and Nevada law enforcement because Trea’s case deserves attention, answers and action. To our knowledge, not one news story has covered her death or her family’s appeal.
Trea died on August 2, 2026, in Winnemucca, Nevada. She was from the Fort McDermitt Paiute and Shoshone Tribe. Her family is asking investigators to keep the case open while outstanding questions and evidence are reviewed.
We are asking the people in our communities, journalists, influencers and advocates to help bring attention to Trea’s case. Share her story. Share the press release. Help make sure her family’s call for justice is not ignored.
We are tired of commitments in meetings followed by silence when Native families need help. Trea’s family deserves answers, action and the same urgency and diligence afforded to white families.
This is NOND’s first MMIP reward, and we hope to offer more. To our knowledge, NOT ONE news story has covered Trea’s case. That silence is unacceptable. Tips must go directly to law enforcement, and additional reward conditions apply.
Thank you to Chase Iron Eyes of the Lakota Law Project for helping advocate alongside this family.
Trea had gifts, talents and a future. Nothing can erase her family’s grief. But we can refuse to let her story disappear.
If you have information, contact Detective Cory Dunckhorst at 775-623-6429 and reference case 26-0832. Please respect the Northrup family’s privacy. Do not approach them with theories, rumors or questions about the case.
Please share this post and help spread Trea’s case. You can find the full press release on our website. AT THE VERY LEAST, help us honor her life by making sure people know her name.
