Lauren Two Bulls, a 33-year-old Native American artist, was found dead in Rapid City, South Dakota, on December 9, 1998. His death was part of a troubling cluster of at least ten unexplained fatalities between 1998 and 2000, many involving Native American people experiencing homelessness and several bodies recovered in or near Rapid Creek.

Investigators reported Two Bulls had an extremely high blood alcohol content. Law enforcement agencies — including the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office, Rapid City Police Department, and the FBI — reviewed the cases and concluded they found no evidence of criminal activity. Still, then-Sheriff Don Holloway said he did not believe all the deaths were accidental given the frequency and sudden stop to the incidents. Family and community members voiced concerns about investigative thoroughness and suspected possible attacks; accounts include one person saying they were held underwater and escaped.

Lauren Two Bulls’ death remains officially unresolved, with no arrests and no suspects named. Does anyone have information about Two Bulls, his last known whereabouts, or the pattern of deaths along Rapid Creek?
