Found Deceased UT - MacKenzie "Kenzie" Lueck, 23, Salt Lake City, 17 June 2019 #7

[Roadette]

Was it confirmed that the home owner was taken to the hospital? If so, that incident may be why he is not arrested yet. MOO.

Where was this reported? Tweeter? News broadcast? Thanks.

Fox13 was the one who reported it originally. I’ll see if I took a screenshot. It looks like it was pulled down from the internet like a lot of what was rewritten and clarified this evening.

What I found suspicious has already been mentioned in her FB. Its about the only review for that Airbnb this month when he reviews "....I slept like the dead here". Wonder whether this user and host are known well before.

Maybe he tried to sell her handbag/luggage??

I would think, these went into the bonfire: the bad smell being loads of plastic material.
Then into garbage, that may have already been collected.
MOO.

I know the house was recently remodeled and sold, but I hope the FBI tears up every single brick of that new patio and checks under all that brand-new looking mulch. There also seems to be something different going on behind the garage. MOO.

I agree. Is that a cement cutter on the patio? I wonder if this is a very new installation. ?? I don't see the location of the fire unless it was right behind the garage in the gray area.

Neighbors reported the fire going on a few mornings. Sadly I think more than plastic was burned in there.

The owner describes himself as violent in his model management profile.

Not sure if anyone else noticed this...but this guest made the exact same comment “slept like the dead” for another Air B&B he stayed at.

The Latest: Police search house in missing Utah student case

What's that drawing on the whiteboard? Can anyone see? It looks like LE is most interested in the garage by looking at photos

As no more info will be available tonight, it leaves us speculating here.
It certainly appears, with the large Police presence, that come morning, there will be an important announcement regarding the Kenzie case.
MOO.

So they had grounds for a search warrant ? Apparently those phone records told some story IMO

I think it’s a cabinet not a white board in the garage.

Yes and no named POI/arrest warrant or custody either -

On the "brick" area? That is for tamping the pavers down/leveling.

Ok so not a whiteboard but cabinets. Is that an evidence marker in this photo?

Intriguing case, so many things just do not make sense and seem illogical. IMO, If Mackenzie knew the person connected to the house being searched and intended to meet up with him/her, or spend the night there, she would have had the ride drop her there rather then minutes away in a park at the wee hours of the morning, there is just no sense as to why "that person" would have her go to the park and then pick her up if they were friends or already knew each other in any capacity and he/she lived only minutes away.

It has been mentioned by a few posters that the Lyft driver said she greeted the person picking her up in a manner that suggested they knew each other. I think that if the person picking her up was a "hook-up of any type" then Mackenzie would have been corresponding with him/her via social media for some time period and, imo, of course Mackenzie would greet him/her in a friendly or flirtatious way that suggested some familiarity, especially if it were to be/was a potential hookup or maybe there was a previous hook-up.

I am starting to wonder if perhaps "this person/perp" was maybe a previous hookup and maybe a spouse found out or someone was on to him/her (perp.) having a relationship with Mackenzie and the perp. maybe decided any evidence of Mackenzie had to "disappear". This case just seems like a cover up from the moment she was left at the park. IMO

Hmm I’m not too sure. It’s very hard to see. They definitely seem interested in the garage though.

If there was any intent to do harm to Kenzie, the perp would hardly want the Lyft driver to drop her at the house. What excuse he could have given? I can think of some, but I don’t know the real answer, of course.
