Mayla Wolfskin is a beautiful young Native woman who Linden Lark murders. Mayla, who started a job in the South Dakota governor’s office as a high schooler, has an illicit affair with governor Curtis Yeltow, an older white man. When Curtis finds out that Mayla is pregnant, he pays her to keep quiet about the baby’s paternity. Linden, who also worked for Yeltow and who is obsessed with Mayla, abducts her out of possessive jealousy and greed for her money. Linden later kills Mayla and leaves her body in the nearby construction site.
