I'm not from the area so I'm not sure about these different cities/towns, but it seems likely to me that Hatch Park was a mid-point between the airport and the home/office/hotel being used by the person she was meeting. This person would know Hatch Park enough to know that it's centrally-located to getting back on what looks to be I-15 or SR-89. I'd assume the ultimate destination is north of (or nearby to) Hatch Park, or else they would have met up closer to the airport.
To me, this implies that the person she met up with is likely from a) near Hatch Park itself and didn't want a Lyft showing up at their home at 3am/Mackenzie didn't know their exact address when she entered it into the Lyft
or b) one of the nearby areas like Woods Cross, Bountiful, or maybe as far north as Farmington.
Farmington is an 11-minute drive from Hatch Park, so this timeline seems like it would work to grab your keys and leave to meet a Lyft at Hatch Park coming from the airport.
Again, I'm not from this area (nor have I been even ever to Utah), so I'm basing all of my opinions on Google Maps and the location of Hatch Park relative to the airport.
Can any locals add any insights? What are these areas like? I've seen on this thread that Bountiful is a popular area for wealthy families, which I could see as being a possible description for the type of "family man" that would want to keep secret his meetings with young college students.
