Listen to the families, KaitMalone. 🙏🏼😔

A YouTube creator known as "Krime with Kait" recently published a video investigating the disappearance of Chris Metallic, an Indigenous man who has been missing since 2012.

Immediately, the Metallic family and the Mi'kmaq community reached out to Kait, urging her to remove the video, citing inaccuracies, missing information, and emotional harm. But Kait is refusing to take the video down. Instead, she has blocked the family on social media, restricted comments on the video, and even implied the family may be complicit - deepening the trauma they’ve carried for over a decade.

This story highlights a growing issue in true crime journalism: when digital creators prioritize views and profit over the voices of the families they claim to advocate for. For Indigenous families already navigating Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (#MMIP) cases, this kind of exploitation isn’t just careless, it’s deeply harmful.

When creators with large platforms refuse to listen, they hold power over families who are often left to fight for justice alone. Indigenous communities across North America are already disproportionately affected by missing and murdered cases—and they shouldn’t have to battle against sensationalism too.

The family has asked for the video to be taken down. Until it is, we’re amplifying their call. 💥
