Found Deceased UT - MacKenzie "Kenzie" Lueck, 23, Salt Lake City, 17 June 2019 #7

[SuziQ]

The Lyft guy is cleared, but not a hero by any stretch. I guess at best he respected her decisions as an adult.

If the driver prevented her from going the her destination it would be considered kidnapping.

O/T FYI

police are in a standoff with the Paul Etter suspect (guy who randomly abducted a lady changing her tire who later escaped)

thread here:

ACTIVE SEARCH - IN - Paul Etter Wanted for Kidnapping, Tippecanoe County, 22 June 2019

 

[MassGuy]

Detectives and crime scene technicians worked Wednesday night into Thursday morning, searching the house on 1000 West between 500 North and 600 North. Detectives emerged from the gray house about 8 a.m. Thursday, shutting the doors to the home and the unattached garage. They removed the yellow police tape that blocked the driveway and told reporters their work was completed.

Police served a search warrant on Wednesday about midday and by midnight, police were seen carrying shovels into the backyard to dig around a firepit.

I don't suppose LE will be releasing any of these warrants ?

I believe we will see them after an arrest is made but not before. MOO

If the incident was reported in MSN, you will likely find it here. I'm not familiar with this event, and not seen it here.

Please provide a link to this incident. However, if you learned of this on sm, it's considered rumor and not discussed on the thread.

MOO

From a reporter on twitter who is on scene and saw the UPS driver drop it off. It has been called into tip line. I don’t even go on MSN

 

[Herat]

Yes i saw this too glad to know I wasn't going crazy.

I was thinking it was his former home which was right next to Hatch Park

 

[SuziQ]

Thank you, but I never suggested anything switching cars and real destinations. I'm just still intrigued by this Hatch Park location and wondering if she has used a ride share to this place before, or if others have been dropped off there before (and if so, perhaps those people would all have a connection to POI). Just wondering how much info LE would have access to and what they could learn from it. Thanks again for the explanations!

The connection is the POI formerly lived .2 miles away from Hatch park. This info came from MSM last night.

If the driver prevented her from going the her destination it would be considered kidnapping.

Yep.

If a driver started asking me a lot of questions about where I was going, who I was going with, how long had I known them, am I gonna be ok here, how am I doing emotionally, where have I been etc you can bet I would be rating them low so they would never match me again and reporting it to Lyft or Uber.

I am WAY more concerned about a driver who wants a lot of info from me than a driver who drops me off at the location I requested with no protest.

For what it's worth, the POI did attend The University of Utah as recently as 2017 per his LinkedIn Account. KL and POI could have crossed paths there.

I also looked at KL's FB and did not see him listed as a Friend which I found interesting.

Has anyone found a FB profile for the POI ? PLEASE DON'T POST IT - I went looking and couldn't find one. It just might be gone now anyway.

As a guy who's job is in computers and IT he would know how to minimize his digital footprint and could possibly explain why KL's phone was powered off so quickly upon meeting up with her "ride".

Just some thoughts.

I wonder if the owner of the house had any of the rooms rented out the night he took ML there. (if he did)

According to this reporter, they were not rented at the time of her disappearance. KUTV 2News

 

[kkdj]

Where is everyone seeing Somalia for his origin? Everything I have seen on him and where his friends are from is Nigeria? Also, on an unrelated note, has anyone figured out if ML and POI have nay past history(coworkers etc)?

Where does she attend school again? The owner of the house graduated from USU in 2017 per his linkedin.

 

[Jealoushe]

By a reporter who called in the UPS drop off to the tip line and the police came by.

Reporter posted the pic of the delivery.

Yes I discussed that up thread lol but the one poster said a plain clothed police officer, they must have thought that the reporter was one.

 

[diggndeeperstill]

I wonder if there might be a vrbo listing for this property? Sometimes people list in both places.

Vrbo would show dates in past that we’re booked as well if online booking was used.

 

[oviedo]

I believe the police stated that they arrived at his house at noon.

I have 2pm in my head for some reason. I’ll see if I can find it.

I’m at an #SLC neighborhood near the Fairpark where SLCPD serving search warrant. No confirmation yet it’s related to Mackenzie Lueck. Earlier today: https://www.sltrib.com/news/2019/06/26/salt-lake-city-police/ …

is this posted his time? I guess it isn't that important I just was wondering if they picked the POI up at home before/during the search warrant execution - just curious on the timeline of getting that information regarding her texting after she tested her Mom - thanks

wait so you get 'matched' with drivers?
I thought a person just ordered a ride and the first driver to pick up the 'order' gets the person

 

[MsBetsy]

Moo. Yes, it is not a crime scene, if they found evidence of a missing person in his home he would be in custody.


Any Lyft or Uber driver not following the pick up designation rules would be noticed immediately, and lose the airport as a source of income.

The house is not a crime scene? With 40 or 50 people working through the night processing and carrying out loads of potential evidence I would think it would be. They must have had some reason to believe a crime had taken place there. Imo

I found one of his Facebook pages this morning, he uses the last name AJ. The last viewable post was from 2017.

If you rate a driver below 3 stars or they rate you below 3 stars, the system never pairs you up again - that's what I mean by match.

 

[diggndeeperstill]

Yes, I think it says attended Utah state from 2009-2017. Also in army during that time.

Is it common to be able to get out of army in 1 year 10 months?

Where does she attend school again? The owner of the house graduated from USU in 2017 per his linkedin.

Yes I have found his Facebook profile, it is still active.
