In True Detective: Night Country, Evangeline Navarro is a former A.P.F. who is now a trooper. Kali Reis plays Navarro.
Evangeline Navarro seems to have Inupiaq origins. She believes in miracles and the beliefs of her people, which prompts others to make fun of her.
However, every time she faces such criticism, she is able to defend herself and put others in their place, which establishes her as a strong-headed character.
Navarro also has a soft corner for women who get hurt and often goes above and beyond to protect them.
Apart from all of that, Navarro is also a war veteran. In the series, she is obsessed with Anne Masu Kowtok’s case.
When the cops discover a tongue while investigating the missing Tsalal men’s case, Navarro starts suspecting and questioning if it is connected to Annie’s case, as her tongue was also missing from her crime scene.
Navarro’s obsession
Navarro’s obsession with Annie’s case has to do with how brutally Annie was murdered.
Navarro was the first to arrive at Annie’s crime scene. Annie was murdered by someone who hated her a lot.
To solve the case, no matter what, Navarro started bugging the wrong people and got into a couple of fights, leading Officer Prior to take her off the case.
When Danvers came to town, she and Navarro were paired up together. Navarro insisted Danvers pick Annie’s case.
However, Danvers believes this case is never going to get solved. This place, Ennis, killed Annie, according to Danvers.
Navarro’s opinion on Annie’s case
Later on, Navarro expresses her opinions on Annie’s case. She firmly believes that if Annie was white, this wouldn’t have happened to her.
Furthermore, she thinks the whole police force would have worked themselves out in solving this case.
However, Danvers reminds Navarro that it’s on Navarro. She did have the case in her hands, and she didn’t close it.
