The BIA did not return a request
for more information regarding cri-
teria for a case to be listed on the
website, but preliminary research
indicates that since Cameron did
not go missing on Tribal or federal
land, the case is continuing to be
handled by Shasta County Sheriff’s
Office.
On the day of her disappearance,
Cameron called 911 three times
from her ex-boyfriend Daniel Lus-
by’s cell phone near the remote Kes-
wick Dam area in Shasta County,
saying she had been drugged and
needed help. A male voice was au-
dible in the background, according
to police reports.
Police conducted an extensive,
multi-agency search, according to
the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office.
Lusby was interviewed as a prima-
ry person of interest in the case on
three separate occasions, but never
arrested.
Although Cameron is not listed
on the BIA site, she is included in
the Missing and Murdered Indig-
enous Persons report compiled by
the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the
District of Oregon.
The report, released in February
2021, was the first to be completed
by any U.S. Attorney’s Office since
the Justice Department began a
new program, nicknamed Opera-
tion Lady Justice, to address the
ongoing crisis of missing and mur-
dered Native Americans.
The Oregon report provides
Tribes, law enforcement and the
public with an overview of current
cases as well as the Attorney’s Of-
fice plans to address the crisis.
Although Cameron went missing
in California, she is included as
part of the Oregon data because
she is a member of an Oregon Tribe,
according to the report.
During report research, it was
discovered Cameron was still listed
as “white” in the California Missing
Person Clearinghouse, which is a
racial misclassification. These gaps
in data can often lead to inaccurate
and underreporting of how many
Indigenous people are missing and
murdered nationwide. The infor-
mation has since been corrected to
list Cameron as Indigenous.
Cameron is also listed as a miss-
ing person on the National Missing
and Unidentified Persons Systems,
which is linked to the BIA’s new
website.
According to an Urban Indian
Health Institute’s 2016 report, 95
percent of the murdered and miss-
ing Indigenous women and girls’
cases never receive national or
international news coverage.
Other chilling statistics are in-
cluded in a National Institute of
Justice baseline research study
on violence against Native Amer-
ican and Alaska Native women.
It included information regarding
domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, stalking and mur-
der, and also evaluated the effec-
tiveness of federal, state, Tribal and
local responses to violence against
these women.
The report, released in May 2016,
found that 84.3 percent have expe-
rienced violence in their lifetime,
including sexual, physical, stalking
and psychological aggression. Also,
39.8 percent have experienced these
types of violence in the past year.
Compared to non-Hispanic, white
women, Native American and Alas-
ka Native women are 1.2 times
more likely to have experienced
violence during their life, and 1.7
times more likely to have experi-
enced it during the past year, the
study found.
The study further found that
medical care was the most common
service needed by the victims of life-
time violence. Among the women
seeking services, 38 percent were
unable to get the help they needed.
If anyone has information on the
Heather Cameron case, contact
the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office
at 530-245-6025 and refer to case
number 201227344.
