I live in Lubbock, but we aren't hearing much about this story. I did see this posted today though. Her Dad is in the Marines and was sent home early to help search for her.

"MACKENZIE PARK UPDATE: Police have determined that the body has been in the park for some time. They have not confirmed how long. We will update you as more information becomes available."
I don't usually go to that area of town. That is the not so good side of town, east of the interstate, but from looking at a map it looks pretty close. Mapquest said 4 miles from the park to East Tulane st. Lots of bodies have been found in that park over the years which is why I steer clear.
KCBD posting a body found in a park here. Do not know if it is male or female yet. Wonder if it is one of these women or possible even the young man that went missing a while back, Mark Ysasaga.

I agree, if the police were told a different motel, then that motel should have been checked right away. They would have quickly learned HS was lying, and then maybe started to figure out much sooner who they were dealing with.
I know for the public the LPD is putting on a united front...
I am in complete agreement. I do not care if it would not have changed the outcome, that does not excuse poor police work. I live in Lubbock and I am outraged. Apparently some of our police officers just believe everything that someone tells them, and feel no need to investigate further. They...
reporters not letting them off the hook, continue to ask why the did not check into the Carriage House. Stevens continues to insist that there was no reason to investigate the Carriage House because they were given every indication that Elizabeth made it home that night and dissapeared from her...
per news conference they believe she was killed before initial police call to report her missing, which is what I concluded after hearing about the video. They say the Dollar General sighting was not validated.
They are also trying to cover their behinds about not viewing the video tapes...
