After Matthew Haukaas was found dead on Dec. 3, 2021, near where he was pulled over by tribal police, Sara Haukaas, Leta Brandis and Julie Haukaas, from left, have questioned if his death was truly accidental. Their suspicions mounted after they say police began harassing them. They are shown in Mission, South Dakota, on May 13, 2023.
