Found Deceased Hungary - Mackenzie Michalski, 31, a New York native, a nurse practitioner, missing in Budapest. 4 Nov 24 *arrest*

Lots of concern for Mackenzie who is an experienced traveller. Family are flying over now.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The search for a Western New York native missing in Europe continues.

It has been three days since anyone has had contact with Mackenzie Michalski and now her family is asking for your help to put more resources toward the search.
Michalski is a Fredonia native but now lives in Portland, Oregon. She was supposed to catch a flight back home from Europe on Tuesday, but her family said she never got on that plane.
I spoke with Michalski's friend, Gretchen Tower, she was traveling around Europe with Michalski and was one of the last people to see her earlier this week. Budapest, Hungary was the last stop of a birthday trip through Europe for the two of them.
She walked me downstairs out of the Airbnb, we hugged goodbye, we said our I love yous, I went to the airport," said Tower.

Tower was on her way to Italy to visit some other friends and Michalski stayed behind for one more night in Budapest before a scheduled flight the next day. The two traded text messages late Monday night.
"She was at a bar in the Jewish ruin district having a glass of wine, looked like she was having dinner," said Tower.
Tower said she responded to a message from Michalski at around 12:45 Tuesday morning. That was the last time they communicated.

I saw this on social media. Her family and friends are organizing a timeline and working with the embassy, US police, Budapest police, etc. Hoping it's just a case of a communication breakdown and for her safe return.

Many more details on the official Hungarian Police site where it states the suspect is a 37yo Irishman who killed her while being intimate then put her body in a suitcase dumping it. There is a link to the police's YouTube channel showing a video of the suspect showing them where he dumped her and showing him being booked.

From your link:

"The investigation also revealed that after the murder,
the 37-year-old man had searched the Internet for the phrase
'How reliable/skillful is the police in Budapest?'."

Very skillful it seems!

RIP to the victim

Horrific. So sad. I love Budapest, always felt safe there too.

Budapest is very safe, and a gorgeous city, too. JMO: it might feel sad there. You can be sitting in downtown Prague and not feel the loneliness, but in Budapest, loneliness might get pervasive. This is why, the nightlife, and the downtown Budapest are a huge magnet for tourists. Sadly, perverts and sadists exist everywhere, and I don't believe LMT that it was an accident.

Some additional information about the perp's searches. Including the competency of Budapest police. I hope the trial will be held in Hungary and not in Ireland.
