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

[calismic]

The fact that they cleared the scene so quickly is hopeful that they do not believe a violent crime took place. My uncle was murdered many years ago and the scene of his crime was kept quarantined for several days before anyone was permitted access. I know times change but its been less than 24 hours and crime scene tape has been removed? Trying to keep positive....

Hard to tell police were ever here. They’ve just cleared the scene at the Fairpark home. Now, we’re waiting for an update on what investigators uncovered. #MackenzieLueck

Police spent hours in the backyard of a Salt Lake City home believed to be connected to MacKenzie Lueck. It's unknown at this time what they did (or didn't) find. https://kutv.com/news/local/ammunition-other-items-seized-from-salt-lake-home-in-search-for-mackenzie-lueck …

not sure when they will post a live link.

That link says “crime scene”. That seems to be new wording. Not good.

I have been following this case for awhile and I lurk on websleuths often. It's unfortunate to see the posts demeaning this woman online and in other social circles. Some of the rumors are just unbelievable. Just a horrible situation all around.

Welcome to WS! I recently came out of lurking for the MD case. And agreed - I can't imagine the family's pain.

Right? I don't think we can post the name or anything (original post about the Twitter account was deleted, so I assume this must be a no-no since we can't verify that it is 100% the suspect's account), but it is such a bizarre stream of tweets.

How could it be him? He would be too busy talking to police to be tweeting. But I have no idea.

I am firmly blaming the perpetrators, and just because someone mentions the subculture does not mean they are demeaning the victim. It is part of the story. It is naive to think that people who exploit others are not using these avenues to find victims, and if it is completely taken out of the conversation it allows them to continue preying on people. People have a right to know that their online life has potential to be dangerous. Clearly a lot are not.

There is no suspect. We cannot sleuth anyone who has not been named a POI or suspect. MOO

Is it possible that more than one person is involved?

Yes. I think maybe.

 

[mfmfan77]

I saw someone post that the suspect lived by Hatch Park 2 years ago -- are we sure he moved? It looks like both rooms of the AirBNB are being rented, so could he possibly still have a place by the park, too? This would make more sense as to why Kenzie agreed to meet him there -- or perhaps she knew him when he lived by the park and they were just starting to reconnect, so she didn't know about his new house yet? moo

Link to Fox13 livestream of news update by reporters on scene at the house.

They will also be covering the press conference by LE live when it occurs, so you may want to open this link up and keep it at the ready.

I think the guy who lives in this home has got to be the last person texting with her at the airport. Still don't know why she wanted to meet up with him. I think there are a ton of options there. Hookup, friend, drugs, whatever -- but I think he's the guy who met up with her in the park and took her to his home and something went south.

Why did he think his texts would not appear on her phone?

Thanks for the clarification! I was wondering about what the rules were since the AirBNB is being posted everywhere, but that must be because it's a house and not a person

My apologies if this has already been shared. Just tuning in after getting some sleep. Found this article and feel it is important to share and remember

ITA. A close childhood friend of mine was murdered ~15 years ago and the mobile police post was at the scene for at least 3 days - but there was more than one victim and the location was large and public. This is potentially a different situation, and I know that even in my own city, time for removal of tape on murder scenes varies from case to case depending on how fast the evidence is processed and whether or not the location is a threat to the community.

Fox 13 reporter @macfox13 is on the scene of a home that was served a warrant related to the #MackenzieLueck case. He says a car typically associated with the medical examiner's office just left the scene in the last few mins. Watch #GDU for updates.

Why no arrests?

 

[Gunslinging Granny]

That one reporter's twitter (Michael Locklear's) says 27 boxes of AR 15 ammo were removed from the garage. Each one of those boxes costs approx $100. Wth?!

Why did he think his texts would not appear on her phone?

They could have been using Signal or some other type of encrypted chat app.

 

[ludakristen]

Why did he think his texts would not appear on her phone?

I don't know. Maybe he disposed of her phone also. Maybe he thought just texting with her wouldn't be enough to convict him of a crime if he did a good enough job getting rid of other evidence? Or maybe he is just an idiot.
