With a population of almost 5,000 people, Omak, Washington is not only known for its popular rodeo, the Omak Stampede, but also for its beautiful landscape…offering outdoor adventures like hiking, skiing, and rock climbing. Omak is considered a safe place to live, but for some, like Kit Mora, Omak would become a place of vulnerability, uncertainty, and alleged horrors. Omak became a wasteland of worry for family and friends of Kit. According to an article from the Yakima Herald, the Omak police department is considering Kit’s disappearance suspicious (Herald-Republic, 2023).
