From the transcript
My family spent years begging law enforcement to investigate the homicide of my niece. It is only after our activism and advocacy that we have made any progress. However, that progress has been interrupted by erratic MMIP policy priorities limiting resources available to us. At the hearing in Billings, Montana, the Missing and Murdered Unit Regional Agent in Charge testified to the Not Invisible Act Commission that MMU officers would not be reassigned to other BIA law enforcement duties. That is not the state of affairs now, as the primary MMU agent that we know to be working on Kaysera's case had been assigned to other duties, including the BIA Chief of Police, then eventually resigned from the MMU and has now returned to the BIA role.
