Quinterius Chappelle, a 24-year-old airman stationed at Ellsworth Air Force Base, has been arrested on federal charges for the murder of 21-year-old Sahela Sangrait. She had been reported missing since August when she was last seen near the base. Her remains were discovered by a hiker on March 4, 37 miles from the base, where they were later identified. The case is particularly poignant in light of South Dakota's ongoing initiatives to combat the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous people, among whom Ms. Sangrait was identified as Native American.
