Dakota Tyree Walker was 18 when his body was found near the entrance to the Margaret McKenny Campground in Capitol Forest, about 10 miles southwest of Olympia, Washington. A woman walking her dog discovered the body on October 20, 2016; an autopsy confirmed Walker, who was from Los Angeles and had been traveling frequently, died of multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators described the killing as execution-style and determined Walker had likely been killed elsewhere and his body transported to the forest.

Detectives developed a theory that Walker had become entangled with associates committing burglaries and identity theft and that he may have planned to distance himself after documenting their crimes. Within a week of the discovery, 29-year-old Vincent L. Garlock and 31-year-old Jonathan Ackerman were arrested near an animal clinic in Olympia. Both men reportedly said they were present when Walker died and each blamed the other for the shooting; prosecutors later charged them with aggravated first-degree murder alleging they lured Walker to the forest to kill him.

Did anyone who knew Dakota or who was in the Olympia area in October 2016 see him with Garlock or Ackerman, or have information about his movements before October 20?
