4Corners K-9 Search and Rescue, based out of the Farmington area, has been around for nearly five years helping New Mexico families in their most desperate times in trying to locate reported missing individuals especially those classified as Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.  

The mission of the nonprofit according to its website is to provide relief and compassion during the agonizing trauma of having to locate a missing loved one. The organization has also taken on the task of performing outreach efforts with communities and officials to streamline search processes that could potentially lead to better outcomes in some missing person cases.  

On the latest podcast episode of “Conversations Different,” host Inez Russell Gomez talks with 4Corners K-9 Search and Rescue Executive Director Bernadine Beyale about her backstory into starting the nonprofit and what it means to have a useful resource readily available in our state. She also shares some useful search and rescue tips that people might not be aware of when reporting a missing person.
