If I may ask, what are the Yakima charges? Yakima (well, the city) is about two hours away.

No Yakima charges for him when I narrowed down with middle initial. D W

Very tastefully written! Do you know for a fact (or a REALLY good tip!) that
LE is visible outside their home?

Ok, now I am confused... Her bf was an employee there?

Employee where?

 

[pmrichie]

that is pure specualtion based on a rumor that she had recently broke-up with the older bf, JV.

speculation she was "seeing" someone there from her calls to Lowe's from her cell phone...

IDK. Maybe Moonsabove or Del Rio could assist with those questions?

It's a lot more difficult to figure out. If there is the letter "I" at the beginning, then its a traffic infraction. If there is a letter "C" at the beginning, it means criminal charges. Other than that, you got to call the Clerk of the Court to find out what the charges are to know for sure.

If you look up DWF on superpages. Click on listing details. You can find all the neighbors in that area. It might be worth looking at to see if anyone recognizes any names.

I have 2 theories. They are based on a mix of info from LE, rumors from good sources, unsubstantiated rumors and complete assumptions. I apoligize in advance to anyone who may know any of the principals and find these theories offensive.(feel free to stop reading now...seriously)

Theory #1 (i can't decide if I like this one or not): MAC leaves the beauty school @ 3pm. She runs an errand, could be anything, but has a planned meeting @ boat launch at 3:30 with a new boyfriend (have heard rumor of recent break with bf). He is 17 and gets out of school around 3pm and has to be at his job at Lowe's at 5pm. He is late...at 3:40 she texts her old bf "hey" and he texts back "hey". When I text my wife "hey" it normally means 'hey, can you talk' and when she texts "hey" back I then call her. I find an exchanges of "hey" texts without a call or further texting to be extremely unusual. Before she can call the old bf the new bf arrives in his vehicle so she doesn't make the call. They sit and talk or do whatever 17 year olds do, or maybe she picked up food for them as the errand. Then they decide to go to the car wash out of boredom, hence the info from the car wash attendant. They get back to the boat launch around 4:45 and she drops him off at his car so that he can go to work. Now, MAC has a prearranged meeting with WC at the spec house at 5pm for whatever reason.
RC knows that MAC is meeting WC before coming to Orondo for dinner.
MAC arrives at spec house and goes inside where she is attacked by JF and WC and killed. The reason??? Turns out that WC has a substanial life insurance policy on MAC (pure speculation). But consider these facts/rumors. WC claims to be too broke to pay for the funeral, yet she probably has a house payment, a payment on the spec house, part of her sons tuitions, etc., a lot of money going out each month. JF has filed for bankruptcy, has a failing business, is getting divorce w/ 3 small children(child support), house in foreclosure, etc, etc, etc. BTW, JF used to have a drywall/painting business by the name Well Hung Drywall and Painting (fact).
Well Hung Drywall & Painting
(9 Glendale St., East Wenatchee, approx. one block from 18 Lindwood)

Yet WC buys JF a new truck within days of MAC disappearing...maybe she figured she was going to be coming into some money because she surely cant afford a new truck when she cant afford MAC's funeral.
From certain rumors it is very possible that MAC and WC have never, ever been close and that MAC's childhood was pretty rough. WC and BF now have to move MAC's car. WC drives the car to PC, BF follows and picks her up. The car is found. While WC is up PC with police, BF moves the body to the house at CB. RC know that MAC was to meet WC, tells police, WC says MAC never showed up. This would explain why LE searchs the spec house BEFORE the body is found. Bf partially dismembers the body to make it look like the killer meant to dispose of the body to throw off LE. Then during the candlelight vigil BF moves her body to a place near the pond where he knows it will be found fairly soon (needed for the life insurance).
From the start WC and BF are suspects. There are LE posted near her house 24/7 to watch them. LE is not hiding the fact that they are watching.
WC and BF are both heavy drinkers (rumor of DUI's). In the wee hours of 2/20 WC (drunk) calls 911 and complains that those LE s.o.b.s are harassing me. Must be awful nerve-wracking to be watched 24/7.
The 3 rumored 911 calls that occurred later could be the same thing (messing with LE) or could be that things are falling apart in the house as the realization of what she has done begins to set in.

I think I got everything in there, feel free to shoot it full of holes. Since this post is so long I will post theory #2 seperately. Again, I apoligize if this offends anyone, it is not my intention.

R.I.P. Mackenzie, I know you have now found a PEACE that doesnt exist in this world.

I believe the vast majority of your theory is right on.

There's only one part that I know your wrong on. MC's body was not found near the pond. It was found down by the river, which would be about 50 yards from the pond.

I like some of this, especially different slants as to the secret downtown meeting and other rumors you may have heard...

BUT

I'm having a hard time believing the day she seems to be having this secret meeting just happens to be the same day she goes missing/murdered. This would make 2 strange oddities on the same day which aren't connected. I don't think this makes for the simplest solution. I think the meeting, dude at car wash? and murder are connected. I like simply!

 

[pmrichie]

wow, a lot of good info can be had from the chelan county assessor's website by entering certain names and searching through the assorted info. It appears that WC's home is pretty secluded.

If there was a guy with her at the car wash and the attendant could not id him, why did the guy with her not come forward? That would lead me to believe he was involved and not just a secret bf.

WC also owns a home on Westwood Avenue in Wenatchee.

That is exactly right.

My only problem with the "she was killed for the life insurance money" theory is that it's really, really unusual to have a large life insurance policy on a minor. Most people don't. Some have enough to cover a funeral. But if they were in desperate financial need, you're talking about a $100K+ policy.

That's going to set off huge alarm bells. You may as well confess to the police at that point, because they are going to go over every nook and cranny in your house, car, office, any properties you have access to, phone records, etc. until they find proof you did it.

 

[pmrichie]

Rather expensive house also, it would appear, valued at $340,000

 

[pmrichie]

Anyone have the address of the spec house handy, I'm surprised it does not show up.

WC's Westwood Avenue house in Wenatchee looks like it is commercial? Does anyone have any ideas of what this location is?
