Post Mortem | Tracker Dakota Black On The Hunt

So Peter, Makayla and Frank Byers, they're living in a small rural town of McComb, Oklahoma.

Uh, Lieutenant Dakota Black described the area as beautiful and serene, and it certainly looks that way, but also said there are a lot of dark secrets that live there, too.

What did she mean by that?

Well, it's hard to believe, but Oklahoma has the highest rate of domestic violence of any state in the country.

And Dakota Black told us she, in her own life, has experienced violence in a relationship.

And while McComb only has a population of less than thirty, and keep in mind, Makayla, Frank, and the girls, they make up twenty percent of the population of McComb, uh, it's near an intersection of multiple interstate highways.

And Dakota Black said criminals moving through the area are known to dump victims' bodies there.

And there are people living in Pottawattamie County in poverty.

There-- Some are off the grid with no electricity or, or running water, toilets, or even a roof over their head.

There are some drug problems, and, uh, it's an open carry state.

A lot of people have firearms.

And Lieutenant Black said they have missing people that are never found, homicides that are never solved.

And I do want to say that while the sheriff's office there is small, they serve this large rural county with distinction and professionalism, and they were outstanding in their efforts to find Makayla.

That's the impression that I got just from watching the Hour.

Like, they just seem so on point and so, um, unbiased and completely focused on, like, where the evidence is driving them.

That's right.
