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

[Whiteorchids]

My 27 son who is a college grad from UCI who was in a fraternity travels a lot and always taken those weird hour late eve or early morning flights in order to get a better deal. He says 1am is not unusual at all you can save lots of money cuz nobody usually wants those and gives him more time with his friends before he has to leave.

He and his friends never leave their cars at the airport parking. Too much theft with cars being broken into or stolen. This is usually LAX. They always take a Lyft or Uber

Katelin's case still haunts me. It was such a sad and frustrating case to follow. I think of her often.

Me too.

This reminds me a little of Yingying.

Today.

Thank you! Was it a family wedding or friend? Just trying to think of reasons why her family didn’t immediately come out to SLC. MOO

 

[Amster]

FOX NEWS has the info about Kenzie on it's web page. I guess people all over the world can see it? Even Colorado? And Nevada? Maybe nobody explained that to her friends, yet? Hopefully, by now, they know......

I know the girls meant well but now I fear many people will focus on the CO kidnapping instead of looking in NSLC or other local areas. IMO police need to come out and say if they believe the CO case is connected or not before this gets out of hand.

I agree and am following them closely and messaging w/them. Many others are also. I haven't seen anything regarding CO, but hopefully they will clear that up.
SLC Police

Yep her too. Very sad

Also an update from SLCPD on their Facebook page: SLC Police

they want to maintain the integrity of the case. Yep, they know more than they are saying. And being tight lipped. I also get the impression that they are not happy with the friends being chatty. IMO, LE has this.

Thanks!

That’s precisely why I was so annoyed that they brought it up.

Moving on...

 

[SuziQ]

I don't see how this could be related. However if they think she was kidnapped as they say in the press conference, could this be related?
Westminster police searching for black SUV after woman is possibly kidnapped
I have no idea or any inside info.
Chi NOT intending to chase ghosts or de-rail but do the times fit even? That's like a 7 hour drive iirc.
ETA I don't see how it's related either

Nevermind!

 

[CluelessWonder]

I'm glad they can rule out the Colorado thing. I imagine it was fairly easy to identify that vehicle and track down the owner. After all, it was just purchased, and someone probably recognized the man, too.

I wish LE would give at least a road intersection as per her destination dropoff. Sometimes things are held to the vest too long and when information and video cams are released, it's not jogging any memories because it's weeks and months later and people have moved on.

 

[SuziQ]

Just to say, I guess that focus would be on the interstates, such as I-70.
Can anyone who has driven this route provide their thoughts?
Chi

I would say also I 80 and I 15.

 

[Whiteorchids]

This reminds me a little of Yingying.

Yes, Mickey Schunik and so many others.

 

[chihuahua]

I would say also I 80 and I 15.

Yes and thank goodness the I8O killer has been caught.

Been mulling this over for a few hours and what keeps popping up in my mind is LE’s comments. Or really, lack of comments.

-they aren’t releasing the Lyft destination
-they aren’t organizing searches
-they haven’t said what she was wearing or what (luggage) she had with her
-they haven’t held a presser
-they said they are aware of the friends pc but didn’t confirm or deny any of the info
-they don’t know if there’s been any foul play
-the family hasn’t spoken publicly
-all the publicity/SM appears driven by the friends only

For now, I’m disregarding the friends comment, bc although they mean well, I don’t believe they know any more than we do.

The biggest question is WHY doesn’t LE seem more concerned?
