I have. WCCA shows Marken's classmate, R. E. Contreras living at 153 W Moore St Apt A, Berlin, WI in 2022. WCCA also shows the wife of Jesus Contreras-Perez also living at 153 W Moore St, Berlin, WI. So there's definitely
a connection.

I don’t know. I tracked down her instagram and it has a suicide song on it. The YouTube video link in the top portion under her name. Don’t need to log in, just close that window.

The song is against suicide, IMO.

"Stay strong guys.
Going to try to be on more.

I don’t know whether it is or isn’t, but it’s the topic anyway. My gut was saying it was talking about how worthless these two feel/felt. I’d like to say it was against suicide, but I worry it might be more of a “this is why”. The suicide line number is a good sign though.

What about this Doe from NYC? I know she was found almost a decade after Mackenzie was last seen, but the height + weight+ facial features are striking to me. I also find it interesting that this Doe has front teeth that are centered to the left of her nose in photos, and so does Mackenzie:

Weight is 50 lbs more, but the rest matches. Stranger things have happened than a kid ending up in ny. You could submit and see. You can go through doe network if you want them to vet it for you.

She has scars on her wrists, arms and legs

I wonder, are they implying that she was a cutter, or suicidal, without actually saying it?

this will sound odd, but her cowlick goes the wrong way for this UID to be her. I just discussed with a hair stylist and cowlicks don't change through your life.

I wouldn’t want to rule out a possible because of a cowlick, especially since this is an artist’s depiction. It’d be nice to at least get action on the case, too.

10-years approach in Weston teen missing person case

October 2015 — a 14-year-old girl disappeared from the safety of her home in Marathon County.

www.wsaw.com

By Kassandra Sepeda and Sean White Oct. 10, 2025 lengthy article.
''After sitting down with the detective and hearing him speak on the case:

• Mackenzie was last seen at her home on Sunday, October 11 in Weston.
• Her family reported her missing the following day on October 12.
• Soon after, police began an investigation.

“I can tell you that, based on the investigation we’ve done, there was a lot of follow-up with persons that would know her, know of her, whether its friends, schoolmates, if there were any relationships, any of that, in a general sense would have been followed up on to get any lead to determine where she’s at and to get her home safe,” said Det. Goff.

I asked Detective Goff if she was considered a runaway or if police thought something more sinister happened such as her being kidnapped. He didn’t come right out and say she left on her own terms, but he instead put it like this.

“If we knew for sure that a child didn’t leave of their free will, then you would probably have seen information like Amber Alerts and different things like that. Those are known avenues that we would take when you have information that we received in the course of an investigation, and we’re progressing.” He continued, “Obviously, those things can change, but I’m just not going to speak to specifics on what we would know or not know in that moment.”
