"Probable Cause
On 9 February 2010 seventeen-year old MacKenzie Cowell left the Academy of Hair Salon in the 200 block of S. Wenatchee Avenue in Wenatchee. She drove away, alone, in her car. During the next few minutes Cowell made some six phone calls to telephone number 509.REDACTED. She did not connect with anyone on any of these attempts and did not leave any messages according to the family that has this phone number. Cowell called nobody else but did briefly text her boyfriend. There were no calls made after 1542 hours. Her cell phone powered off by 1742 hours.
Later in the evening of 9 February 2010, Cowell’s vehicle was discovered, abandoned, on Pitcher Canyon Road, which is a rural part of Chelan County south of Wenatchee. On Saturday afternoon, 13 February 2010, Cowell’s body was discovered on the banks of the Columbia River near Crescent Bar. The Coroner has ruled her death a homicide.
Investigators, to include Wenatchee Detective Sergeant John Kruse, spoke with family members associated with the telephone number 509.REDACTED. There does not appear to be any obvious connection between this family and Cowell. The family also says they do not know or associate with MacKenzie Cowell.
If this is true, it is possible that Cowell misdialed a number. Det. Sgt. Kruse called REDACTED and discovered the answering machine had a generic message programmed on it, meaning Cowell would not know she had misdialed the number. Det. Sgt. Kruse researched a number of possible phone numbers that are close to this number. He was unable to find any active phone numbers that could match except for one.
The one number that could match is 509.REDACTED. Calling it the first time, Det. Sgt. Kruse heard the phone ring multiple times. There was no voice mail option. Calling it a second time, Det. Sgt. Kruse received a message that the Verizon customer was not available. Again, there was no voice mail option. Checking public records via the internet 509.REDACTED is an unpublished number.
On 17 February 2010 I was assigned to determine ownership of the number. Online, I was able to identify that the number was issued by Cellco Partnership, dba Verizon Wireless. I checked with the Number Portability Administration and confirmed that this number was actively serviced by Verizon Wireless.
Subscriber information is needed for this number to determine if the person associated with it has any connection with MacKenzie Cowell or her disappearance.
Conclusions: Upon execution of this search warrant, I expect to find out who the owner of the cell phone was at the time of the murder. I also expect to obtain information as to whom the owner may have called, received calls from, text messaged or received text messages from.
