From the transcript
For 10 months now, we have been asking the MMU to schedule a half-hour phone call with our family to discuss their progress on Kaysera's case. The response we got was that they do not have time to talk to us. We need the MMU to become functional again given that the law enforcement in the county meets us family members with outright hostility. The county did not tell us until 4 years after her death that the Bighorn County still had several of Kaysera's facial bones in their custody. As the county coroner cremated her remains against our wishes, these were the only physical remains that we had to place in her grave, which we then had to reopen to bury alongside her ashes.

BIA's top law enforcement official defended new task force structures and AI tools but acknowledged the unit can always do better.
