State and local police issued the alert for Wanbli Vigil on Dec. 30, but seemingly did not push out information about the case on social media until four days later.

, told CBS Colorado prior to the discovery of his body that the family had organized a search party to try and find him, checking hospitals, jails and"whatever leads we can think of." The last time he was seen was at his apartment building.

"He was really struggling with some spiritual issues," she told the CBS station."We're wondering exactly where did he go, how did he disappear, where did he end up or who is he with?" While it's unclear what his cause of death was, advocates for the search of missing Indigenous peoples say the alert took too long to get out to the public.

"It shouldn't matter if it's a Lakota man on a holiday or a white child on a holiday," she said,"that response should have been immediate." CBS News has reached out to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and Denver police for more information about the process they followed in this particular case and what prevented an immediate social media announcement that Vigil was missing.
