Huh. Not good.

Asking ML to reach out if she is voluntarily missing

The 'meet in the park 2:40AM' .... ? What is that?
KL is an educated woman, she currently works in medical field as a phlebotomist; she is only a few months away from a Nursing degree.
Why on earth does she agree to Hatch Park?
Every major city has an all night bookstore. 24 hour Starbucks. Seven Eleven. So many public places that would make more sense.

I really hope it's not a sugar daddy thing. Those people are creepy scum who prey on young women.

If a woman is choosing to go for older men with money so they can obtain money and perks, she's demonstrating agency and I don't see an imbalance of power there.

That's an eyes wide open kind of thing IMO.

won't say if driver was male or female. ETA park pick up driver. Referred to Lyft drive as "he"

 

[Peppery]

LE has same questions as public

1. Alternate phone?
2. Who did she meet at Hatch?
3. Anyone in contact w her over last week?
4. Did she have other SM accounts?

 

[oviedo]

There’s a #callherdaddy hashtag on Mackenzie Instagram account that police are researching as they look into Mackenzies dating profile, a family spokesperson confirms to CBS News. Mackenzie was known to date older man. She was “currently dating multiple people.”

what is this about missing her flight back home to LA? Is that just someone misspoken, or a misprint? She was going back to Utah from LA... I thought I've read everything but I've seen this quote several times and have just brushed over it assuming it's a confusion error... Did she miss a flight?

Yes, she was supposed to fly back home yesterday, for a wedding, and when she didn't her family and friends became even more concerned. Imo

The fact mystery guy allowed Lyft driver to see him, presumably car - suggests to me that whatever happened wasn't planned - that really gives me hope this will be unraveled & hopefully quickly
If Kenzie was having a clandestine relationship or affair - especially of a taboo nature - I think it possible she would have confided in at least one friend - I sure hope so, if so: we may have POI soon

 

[Peppery]

Not ready to release vehicle info bc don’t want a flood of false tips

What a strange place for a middle of the night meeting

served written search warrants

 

[gitana1]

Alright, now we’re getting somewhere.

She very well may have had contact with this person before, and this wasn’t a first time thing.

If that’s the case, it would be slightly encouraging.

Doesn’t rule out foul play though.

No it doesn't. Everyone should have one person they totally trust to tell where they're going and with whom and when they're expected back. No matter what they're engaged in.

   Police will ask for the public help finding that vehicle. Authorities are canvassing the area around hatch park looking for surveillance video. The park is located right off the 15 freeway.
