Found Deceased UT - MacKenzie "Kenzie" Lueck, 23, Salt Lake City, 17 June 2019 #19 *ARREST*

[Seattle1]

Here's what I have in my notes for the *advertiser censored* charges.

*Charged (8/13/19) with 19 counts of possessing child *advertiser censored*.
8/13/19 Update: An additional 19 charges were filed Tuesday of possessing child *advertiser censored*. The images are mostly of children between the ages of 4 and 8 years old, the charges state. 9/9/19: Preliminary hearing another set for 10/21.
10/21/19: A preliminary hearing in that case has been set for later in March.

I think this is the SLC Case Number for the *advertiser censored*: #191908086

Preliminary is set for March 24.

The man charged with murdering Utah college student Mackenzie Lueck

SALT LAKE CITY — Prosecutors say they are sifting through more information tied to the death of Utah college student Mackenzie Lueck.

Third District Judge Vernice Trease granted their request Monday to postpone a two-day hearing for Ayoola Adisa Ajayi, who is charged with aggravated murder, a capital offense.

...

Ajayi is due back in court for a status conference on April 27.

 

[Niner]

@crittercatt - can you look up case #191905024 please? - that's the 2018 sexual assault case that had a hearing on 3/2. TIA!

FYI: The case (#191906862) that you posted is for Mackenzie's murder.

 

[diggndeeperstill]

From the article I linked:


A trial on the sexual assault charges had originally been set for last week. It has not yet been rescheduled.

Ajayi has pleaded not guilty in that case to charges of aggravated kidnapping, a first-degree felony, and three counts of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony.

I think that this is it-thanks!

hmmm... it has a different case # from what I have written down. This one you posted is 191908319 & I have/had #191905024, but the dates match up on my notes. I guess he is having Kenzie's case & this 2018 sexual assault on the same date, 4/27.

Thank you!

@Seattle1 - any update on Kenzie's court hearings? Last was 3/11 (above).
TIA!

 

[righteous688]

There wasn't a preliminary hearing on 3/11. Apparently, the article posted from KUTV was incorrect. That's why the page was removed. It was postponed. As far as I know, there hasn't been a new date set for the preliminary hearing.

Welcome with your first post.
Thanks for the correction.

Okay - I see in my notes I have:

3/2/20 Update: Preliminary hearing 3/11 has been postponed. Rescheduled for 4/27. But was rescheduled again for 3/9 & 3/11. 3/9/20: Waived his right to a speedy trial. Ajayi will appear in court again on Wednesday 3/11 at 9 a.m.

But then I see it was rescheduled for 3/9 & 3/11.... confusing - so I'll put Kenzie case on 4/27.
