CANADA Canada - Mekayla Bali, aka M Niebergall, 16, Yorkton, Saskatchewan, 12 April 2016

I see there is a lot of threads on her already. I am sorry if these questions have been asked already.

Was her high school Wi-Fi cross-referenced with all of the devices that connected to it? What about her home Wi-Fi? This could possibly lead to a MAC address for the alleged second phone she may have had.

Do we know what email addresses she used for creating social media accounts? I have a hankering suspicion she may have had a Kik account on the burner phone. If this is the case, could one her known emails be used to track down the username used to create it?

What do we know about her potential Kik account?

I am highly interested in this as an angle. This is a very well known grooming app that is really effective for anonimity.

Did she use the same email to make all the accounts that we know of? I.E. Snapchat, etc? Was there a burner email (or emails) she made accounts on?

Usually, when most people make accounts on different social media apps, they tend to use the same username or a very similar username.

Has anyone tried using her known names on other apps to search for her on speculated apps?

I know that Kik chats do have the ability to be recovered, as in the case with "Dr. Tombstone".

So do they still not know who all the people were whom she was communicating online with? Her actions the day she disappeared give all the telltale signs of her planning to meet up with someone.

I can imagine if it was her dad or some other relative who helped her get away they would've covered their tracks pretty well. To be fair, I think it also looks like she's using a burner phone.

It was said her grandfather had passed away and she lived in the home with grandparents. Could her grandfather been using opiates to treat pain? Could she have had access to these medications? Perhaps she was planning on selling his leftover medications that she was able to obtain at some point and it was a drug deal gone bad? Burner phones, money, apparent paranoia, and the need to get a bus could all point to a clandestine meeting involving drugs. A 16 year old with little street smarts could be vulnerable to foul play.

Sad that there has not any updates.

Thinking about her today, I hope for updates

When did her alias come out? Not sure I’ve ever heard the alias M Niebergall for her.

That's her birth name I believe. Her and her mother changed their names to Bali a few months before her disappearance.

Was that explained why…were they trying to hide from someone?

I believe Mekayla’s mother did this for a very good reason, but it’s never been disclosed what happened publicly and I don’t want to speculate on that because familial relationships and mental health struggles are complicated at the best of times. I would imagine the police know more than us for sure.
There was a strained familial relationship on the mother’s side, (not to do with Mekayla’s bio father), that they wanted to distance themselves from, as a fresh start.

Bump for Mekayla. Her case is so creepy and haunting. In my opinion the evidence points to her meeting a predator. I remember what it’s like to be that age, wanting attention from men while being unaware of your own vulnerability. I really hope that she will be found.

Bumping for Mekayla. Almost ten years. I don't think her erratic behavior that day was some kind of mental episode. To me, she was being instructed by someone she was talking to on the phone. This person probably arranged a meeting with her but obviously wouldn't go to a public place to appear on CCTV, be witnessed, etc. This would explain the behavior, as he was most likely repeatedly changing plans. Regarding the message she sent her friend, it's interesting to wonder what would have happened if the friend had responded. Whether she would have given an excuse, if her disappearance could have been avoided, or if it would have given more clues than we already have.

I did a wee experiment and someone on my snapchat hasn't responded in two months, but the snap hasn't opened on it's own yet *shrug*

there have probably been a lot of changes in the API and how things are seen/received since 2016. I don't believe any experiment done now can be applicable to 2016.

I agree to disagree.
