I’ll be watching. I don’t anticipate we’ll hear anything new, but it will be good to hear from people close to her.

And don’t get annoyed when they leave a lot of details out, as this is a one hour show.

She took her cat hiking. On a leash, lol! That was new to me, but I get what you're saying.

I'm not getting my hopes up for any new case-related information but I'm definitely looking forward to the show.

Nobody call me, k?!!! It took me three tries to watch Kelsey's with no interruptions! MOO

Over the years, we've trained two or three of our cats to walk on a leash. They need to have a full body harness on, not just a leash attached to a collar. It can be done.

I'll tune in here to see if anything comes out of the show.

I just saw that Dateline is going to be covering this case tomorrow, Friday night.

10 pm Eastern.

Thanks!

Just finished the Dateline broadcast.

They focused heavily on the sugar baby lifestyle, interviewing a female journalist who found it “empowering” (to which Keith Morrison seemed incredulous), and another woman who had been doing it for over 4 years.

This second woman felt like Kenzie didn’t really know what she was getting into.

“A lot of them bit off more than they could chew.”

She considers it a sex industry, but a lot of sugar babies don’t allow themselves to feel that way, because they find it “shameful.”

Although they made it clear at the end that we don’t know for sure how they met, they did point out that both of them had accounts on SeekingArrangement (Kenzie signed up one month before she disappeared).

Her phone going dead, broke one of the cardinal rules of this sort of thing, as your phone is your lifeline.

They of course pointed out that we don’t know who shut her phone off though.

They interviewed a private detective who by chance, had met Kenzie in a bar a week or two before she disappeared.

During their discussion, Kenzie told him about the SeekingArrangement thing. When he learned that Kenzie was missing, he found her profile and immediately informed police.

Her friends were featured, and they explained the timeline and their (tremendous) effort to get the word out.

They didn’t want to take the chance that something bad had happened, and were prepared to face Kenzie’s ire if she was missing voluntarily.

One said she didn’t know Kenzie was doing the sugar baby thing on that website, while the other didn’t want to discuss it (I think she knew).

Morrison also interviewed the guy who was supposed to build that sound proof room, as well as the cleaning lady who saw the cameras all over his house.

No appearance from family members, which hurt in humanizing Kenzie. Her friends were great, but there’s no substitute for family.

Overall, it was about what I expected and I don’t think there was anything new.

That critter was special -- reportedly, those hikes with ML earned him a champagne birthday party!

Her friends were very sweet & sincere which says a lot about Kenzie.

It really emphasized how big a role they played in this too.

They were the ones getting the word out, and trying to get investigators to take this seriously.

 

[BeachSky]

I personally don’t like the way the media hooks with the secret life thing.
It’s much like the smear of murdered Paige Birgfeld and her “secret life”.
These women did not cause their own deaths.
Expose the monster,not the victim.

MOO

Great summary! Very sad. Thank you so much.

I dunno. We’re responsible for our own safety, and I think it’s important to learn what we can from these cases.

That “sugar baby” who was interviewed, pointed out that many of these women don’t realize what they are getting into, and the risks they may be taking.

I’m with you on the sensationalized way this sort of thing is exploited though.

It’s a weird situation, because no one deserves to be a victim, nor is any victim responsible for the actions of a monster.

But we can do things to minimize risk, and I think that should be the message here.

I don't know what happened. Trying to quote mass guy's post. I wasn't aware of the private detective. Did anything come of that?

I think that was what tipped off police to her being on that website. I doubt they were aware of it up until then.

This guy just happened to meet Kenzie at a bar before her disappearance, and she told him about it.

He was familiar with it because he had used it during an investigation by a suspicious wife, whose husband had bought his sugar baby a house for $800k.

It took him an hour or two, but he found Kenzie on there and then passed it on to law enforcement.

Thank goodness for that meeting. AA might have gotten away.

He was dumb enough to have texted her, so it was only a matter of time I think.

Their online connection was important though.

I also didn't realize ML had only been in this lifestyle for a month. As the other girl said, way too naive. So sad.
