I find it insane that we cannot find someone that would confirm that she left for the day or was expected back. If her station was clean and she had put the cover on her combs, cleaned her razor
there are a number of signs that would let someone known if she was coming back. At the very least she would have said to someone, I will be back or see you after while. Do we know if she was close to anyone at the beauty school? Did she have enemies at beauty school? We may be dealing with the police asking the students to not talk about the case? It is very odd that we do not have someone from the school that can confirm anything.
Not to gripe, but we also have a problem with too much information that cannot be confirmed as a fact. In addition if seems like there is a great deal of information that points to specific people, cannot be confirmed, and are being presented as facts. It is frustrating. We are also dealing with conflicting information, which is a major pain. I also suspect that some of us do not like some of the participants on a personal basis. These issues are not limited to this forum they seem to be imbedded in this case from the family and friends to LE.
I am sorry if I stepped on someones toes, but this statement was not directed at anyone specific and I tried to keep it as vague as I could. I just had to make this statement, it has been eating me up inside and hindering me from doing what I joined Websleuths for, to help Mackenzie.
I've posted this before, and will again. And please note that I am very, very careful about naming things as RUMOR and SPECULATION if that is what they are. The following information I heard from a source VERY, VERY close to me.
FACT IMO: MC left for what other students said was a 15 min break to run and get coffee.
I do not know if she told them she was getting coffee or just led them to believe that, such as "I'm going on a coffee break" which can be different than "I am going to Starbucks to get a coffee." But those girls seem to drink a lot of coffee.
FACT IMO: She DID NOT clock out/sign out as if she was through for the day. She did not do anything behavior wise to make people think that she wasn't coming back.
But that doesn't prove that she had plans of coming back.
POSSIBLE: 3:00 pm could've been the first chance she had to take a break. I do not know if she took one earlier in the day.
I heard most of these details from my source the day after she disappeared. I was also told about MC talking on the internet to people from Tacoma, which appears to be accepted fact.
She was a friendly, bright girl who seemed to have her head on her shoulders squarely, according to my source. There are girls who go to school there to appease their parents, or can because they get state assistance. MC was NOT one of those. She had Very close friends there. My source was not one of those, per se, but my source thought a lot of MC and is upset about all of this. I've not been told anything about having enemies. My source Nothing of rape/molestation rumors. She is closer to a friend of MC's than she was to MC, and thinks, again, THINKS she would have heard those rumors. I am sure that some of the students at the school must've been interviewed by LE, but my source was not one of them.
I hope this helps.
