“I’m praying but it doesn’t look good. I’m going to sit there, find a deputy and see where their search party is at. They had a search and rescue [near Skagit View Drive] yesterday. Small team. Just looking for clues.”

Martone further said:

“We just want you to know that you are loved. Very, very much.”

Authorities revealed that they have deployed a helicopter and are using drones to locate the missing woman

“So, the river presents weird challenges for us. We have specific equipment designed to navigate the river to look for people, to find people. And we are going use all of those assets on this search.”

The missing woman's aunt additionally stated that she "wasn’t given a big chance in life." Martone further stated that Mikayla had to live a tough life and was raised by her grandparents and two aunts. She has been described as someone who always wanted to laugh and help others.
