The mom was last seen on September 15, leaving with a man in a white pickup truck.
Pottawatomie County Undersheriff Travis Dinwiddie said the man she was reportedly going on a date with that evening has not been identified.
Makayla's cousin discovered her body a few miles away from her home, wrapped in "waterlogged carpet" in a drainage culvert under a road.
The medical examiner has confirmed the body is Makayla's - and Dinwiddie said her death is "absolutely" foul play.

Makayla was mother to six children - four step-daughters and two adopted children.
She worked as a teacher's aide in Macomb Public Schools, with school officials releasing a statement about her death.
They said: "Unfortunately, the Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office announced Friday that Makayla's body has been recovered, as officials continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and death.

"Our hearts are heavy as we grieve this tragic loss of a beloved Macomb Public Schools educator and parent. Makayla cared deeply for our students and families and she will be greatly missed."
She was in an open relationship with her husband when she left for the date - a 6ft tall balding white man with a beard.
Police are still searching for the man in question, and have asked anyone who has information to call (405) 273-1727.
Her family have set up a GoFundMe to help fund her memorial service.
They posted: "We are saddened to say that Makayla has passed from this earthly world and is now in her heavenly home. She leaves behind lots of family who love and miss her very much.
"If you are able to donate to help fund her memorial the family will be forever grateful. If you are able to provide prayers for the family, they would appreciate them so very much."
