Susan Lacee Fast Eagle, also known by the last name Chief Eagle, is an Indigenous woman who was 30 years old when she was last seen in Rapid City, South Dakota, on May 3, 2021. Public case summaries list her as missing from the Memorial Park area of Rapid City. She was later reported missing by relatives on May 13, 2021, and her case has been handled by the Rapid City Police Department.
The available public information does not state that she has been found alive or deceased, so her disappearance should still be treated with care and urgency as a missing person case.
Susan is described as a Native American woman with brown hair and brown or hazel eyes. She was listed at 5 feet 2 inches tall and about 160 pounds at the time she disappeared. Identifying details include eyeglasses and a tattoo of the Insane Clown Posse “Hatchet Man” figure on her right forearm; another public case summary also notes a tattoo of the name “Melinco” on her left arm. These personal identifiers are important because even small details may help someone recognize her or recall a past encounter.
The circumstances publicly available are limited, but they place Susan in the area of Memorial Park in Rapid City on May 3, 2021. Law-enforcement-related public reporting said she had last been seen by law enforcement during a contact that day, and police later asked the public for help locating her. The case became even more concerning when investigators developed information that Susan had been last seen with 51-year-old Verdell Brown Bull of Kyle; both were reportedly last seen in the same area around the same time.
Public case information states that Susan and Verdell Brown Bull were last seen together and that neither had been heard from afterward. A case summary further reports that Susan’s husband said she felt sick on the day she disappeared, that he went out to get her food, and that when he returned, she was gone. Beyond those details, the public record remains sparse, leaving her loved ones and community with few answers about what happened after she was last seen.
Susan’s case is part of the broader and painful reality of missing Indigenous people whose cases often carry deep grief for families and communities. Public coverage has connected her disappearance to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women awareness in South Dakota, including reporting that referenced grassroots search efforts for Susan in Rapid City. The limited information available should not lessen the importance of her life or the need for continued attention to her case.
