Prayers for all who know and love Kenzie, as well as everyone connected to investigating the case. I have experienced events like this in my own life and I know they are not easy. Hoping you find comfort and strength in the coming days and weeks.

Sadly, quite a few of us.
It is a violent rock we live on.

Really feeling bad for her Dad. He was doing what he could right away.

No; his welfare check request was Thursday. I feel bad for him regardless of when she was reported missing. Even if he had reported it that morning she flew back to Utah, it would have probably been too late.

Praying

Does it strike anyone else weird that the Lyft driver did not identify make or model of the other car? IMO most taxi drivers know a lot about cars. (yes I know he is not a suspect).

My understanding is that Dad did report her missing but it was four days afterwards. JMO

That would seem more a whole lot more likely. The articled I referenced is here: Timeline of missing student Mackenzie Lueck's movements in Salt Lake City before disappearance

Th

I am former Army Officer (MOS 14A). If he was indeed an Army IT Specialist, it is most likely that his MOS was 25B. Normally, Battalions have a few of these Soldiers assigned to them in a supporting function as well as an Office or Senior NCO as head of that "shop". In my experience, the newer 25Bs were normally fairly intelligent (you need a higher ASVAB score for technical specialties), but fairly useless until the got the real on-the-job training that only experience can bring. Him not completing his initial commitment could be several things: disciplinary issues leading him to be chaptered out, a medical issue that made him permanently non-deployable and he was Med-Boarded out, failure to meet standards to maintain appropriate security clearance, extreme personal hardship (not likely), or becoming a single parent with no one to take your kid if you deploy. I'm gonna make a guess and go with medical or he had disciplinary issues. I find it interesting that they are referring to him as a "former Soldier" rather than a Veteran. I think thats the media doing what it does.

When a Soldier or former Soldier is arrested and its a national story, the FB and other social media groups that I belong to will light up with all the Soldiers who went to Basic, AIT, or were in the same unit with him. What they have to say will tell a better story than his DD214.

Thank you for your service! Welcome to Websleuths.

<modsnip> There is no way that happened and then he kept the fire burning for the days it would require to cremate her remains and nobody noticed.

It would take days? I didn't know that. Actually, the neighbor was concerned about how long the fire was going on and said something to him about it, and he said "I'm almost through."

@yellowmoose Please know that whatever we learn in the coming minutes that you are not alone. While most of us don't know what it's like to be living this situation, there are some here that, unfortunately, do. Please don't be afraid to reach out to them if needed. And we will always be here for you.

yes, this is all unfolding so dramatically i can't even imagine being her friends and family right now. I knew a girl who was murdered in a high-coverage, high-profile case many years ago and it was really traumatic. We weren't even close friends or anything, i had spent a month studying abroad with her in a group in college. But all the news stories about it, the details that came out, etc. just kind of took my breath away. So i can only know a fraction of what you must be feeling @yellowmoose and i really have no words other than i'm so sorry. i wish i could give you a hug.
