Fifty years later, these missiles — called the Minuteman III — are still on alert, manned by members of the U.S. Air Force in teams of two who spend 24 hours straight below ground in front of analog terminals from the 1980s, decod- ing messages and running tests on the missiles’ systems to check if they could still launch if needed. But it’s not the age of weapons or the decades-old technology that troubles their operators. It’s that the original manufacturers who supplied the gears, tubes and oth- er materials to fix those systems ABBIGAYLE WILLIAMS/U.S. Air Force are long gone. Airmen from the 90th Maintenance Group responsible for maintaining and repairing ICBMs on alert status are seen in December 2019 within the F.E. Warren missile complex in Wyoming.

Predators assume, often correctly, that victims will keep their secrets. The “Unheard” project shattered that silence with a new kind of collaborative journalism rooted in trust and respect for 29 Alaskans who have stepped forward to share their stories. The series is a centerpiece of the ongoing investigation into sexual violence Alaska by ProPublica and the Anchorage Daily News. Please find the online version of Unheard here: https://features.propublica.org/alaska-sexual-assault/unheard-survivor-stories/ And two front covers of the print edition, which bookended the stories published throughout June 2020, here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mlhiwdtq5xld82x/ADN_PP_Unheard_FrontPages.pdf?dl=0 In 2018, after a string of particularly gut-wrenching sexual assault and murder cases, the Anchorage Daily News asked readers if they would be willing to share their stories of sexual violence to help us determine why the problem appeared to be getting worse and where the failure points exist within the criminal justice system. More than 200 people responded, most saying they would be willing to speak on the record to a reporter. Often, they told of being sexually abused as children and again and again throughout adulthood. When they reported the crimes, police sometimes failed to investigate or prosecutors declined to file charges.
