Cold Justice case overview: Jermain Charlo

Jermain Charlo, a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, reportedly disappeared after a night out in downtown Missoula on June 15 and 16, 2018. Security video shows her in an alley behind The Badlander bar just before midnight, speaking with former partner Michael DeFrance, according to CBS News.

DeFrance told investigators that he picked Charlo up and dropped her near a grocery store around 1:00 am, then later changed that account to say he left her in a nearby neighborhood. He has allegedly said that Charlo left her phone in his vehicle and that he later threw the device away in Idaho, and he has not been named a suspect.

Phone records reportedly showed Charlo’s device pinging for several hours on June 16 in the Evaro Hill area north of Missoula, where DeFrance was living at the time. Searches by officers and volunteers have not located Charlo or the phone, and authorities now treat the file as a no-body homicide investigation.

Charlo’s relatives and Indigenous advocates have linked her disappearance to the wider crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in Montana, where Native people form a small share of the population yet a far larger share of missing persons reports, according to KPAX. Marches, billboards, and continued news coverage have kept her name in the public eye.

The Cold Justice episode reportedly builds on years of work by Missoula police, tribal agencies, and local groups, including leads gathered by Detective Guy Baker. National exposure could encourage anyone with information about Charlo’s last known movements to contact investigators.
