14 months, and no charges yet in death of 2 children in Spirit Lake reservation

Destiny DuBois, 9, and her brother Travis DuBois Jr., 6, were found under a mattress in their father's home, slain by a knife or another cutting weapon. Their mother Mena Shaw discovered them there after their father Travis DuBois reported them missing. Almost 14 months later, nobody has been charged. Now, the search here on the Spirit Lake Nation is for answers to crimes that shook the community and have been cited as a grave example of endangered children on the reservation.
