Found Deceased UT - MacKenzie "Kenzie" Lueck, 23, Salt Lake City, 17 June 2019 #14 *ARREST*

Skin is an organ.
The largest organ our body houses.
And skin has 7 layers of tissue.
So, it could be skin.

MOO

It could have been anything.

Regarding the picture of her at the airport, it looks like her face is puffy
and or swollen. It really doesn't look like her. Any comments?

She lacked sleep and had been crying?

 

[iamcurious9]

She had been at a funeral. Just got off a plane. At 2am.

I think she was tired and had been crying all weekend. IMO she looks beautiful! Wish I looked like that after a funeral for family, and a red eye flight.

Im sure after hours and hours of grueling interrogations they wore him down to give up location of her body with DP off the table.

I’m not so sure about that hour after hour of grueling interrogations. He had a lawyer from almost the start, and she sounds like quite a pit bull. I’m sure she’d have told him not to talk—and there go the grueling interrogations.

I got the link here, so I assume it's okay to post:

Thing is, I had to send them academic credentials to be able to see it. The site is designed for students to upload papers they think will help other students in a particular course; and for profs to upload papers they think are good examples. I think.

You can see the first page though, for free. It doesn't get any better. He never once talks about Mirror Lake in Utah. He does write about Flint, MI and its water issues (in a very superficial way, as if he was listening to the news story and just stuck it in there).

TY!
Interesting how he talks about wood burning pollution....

 

[iamcurious9]

I agree, she does look beautiful. Just so different than most other pictures.

How were they able to charge AA with aggravated homicide with only the tissue they found at his house? Blood and skin tissue is not proof of death! It seems like they would need brain tissue (etc.) to determine she had actually died. This is puzzling.

LE/DA are only releasing information necessary to keep AA jailed or to get tips. As the legal process moves forward more details will be released. It is an excruciatingly slow process for those that follow cases from crime to sentencing.

Welcome, Curious!

She had just come from her grandmother’s funeral, and judging from what she posted on social media, she loved her grandmother dearly.

Plus, who the hell looks good after coming off an airplane?

I think that we are dealing with info on someone that came from a very different culture background so they think different, I think that makes it harder to guess what he might have done than if it was someone that was either born here or raised from a very young age here.

Absolutely agree with your comment here--cultural norms shape a child's mind profoundly.

I apologize if anyone has mentioned this, but what if the “desecration” involved him trying to eliminate identification? The “tissue” could’ve been hands/feet/fingertips?? We’ve already established that the fire may not have been hot enough to incinerate the bone. If they found this type of body parts, it would indicate that she was dead and remains were elsewhere...

And then he dumped the rest, hoping the elements and animals would take over before she was actually found...

JMO

We can what if all day long. We don't have enough facts to even guess what happened. LE here is so tight lipped, you can't even read between the lines with them.

I don't think any prosecutor in their right mind would cut a deal until the evidence phase has slowed down to nearly nothing and for a good period of time after that. He hasn't even been arraigned.

I think the only reason to cut a deal is for closure for the family. If they can find her body and return her for burial and the difference is life without parole and the DP, it seems like a good deal for the family and the people of Utah. JMHO.

I took pictures at FR044 right across from Third Dam and it could be the area another sleuther recalls seeing cops in Logan Canyon on Wednesday. There was a mention of diving equipment and there is definitely water at FR044 and no water next to 348. (Except for across 89)

Other than me? Very few, especially going east (losing time) and in the middle of the night.

Thank you for doing this.

Not sure if this had been posted

Searchers for MacKenzie Lueck's body requested diving equipment

“Peck recalled a case where the body of another woman was found in the canyon several years ago.

“I believe it was a fisherman, or another type of sportsman, who came across the remains and notified us,” he said.”

I wonder who that other woman was, and when...was it a homicide? Solved?

 

[SandSage]

I thought the Lyft driver said the other driver never got out of his car? I think that is what is quoted upstream somewhere. She apparently made the decision to take her luggage to the other car immediately---no gun point needed.

From what I understand we don't know. It seems the Lyft driver did not state that he never got out of his car (from what I've seen here). MOO

 

[fancyfree]

I’m sure he once again took his phone w him but I’m also wondering if he led them to the canyon?

I was just thinking the same thing: he led them to the body in a plea deal to take the death penalty off the table. Hope we find out at the July 9 preliminary hearing.

 

[SuperTmo]

Well, he at least burned part of her body since they found charred human tissue which belonged to her. Imo

I’m behind so I apologize if this has been covered. Could he have cut off her hands and burned those?

He could have done just about anything.

Odds are he didn’t though.

What’s the point? This is the age of DNA.
