A Mystery Meeting: The Search For Mackenzie Lueck

Ойын-сауық

At 1am on June 17th, 2019, Mackenzie Lueck's flight landed home, and she booked a ride via Lyft. Her driver dropped her at the odd location of a local park... and just a few hours later, Mackenzie was missing. CCTV, bodycam footage, phone records and social media profiles would help bring this case to a conclusion, and what had happened, was frightening.

    He only got caught with the CP because of the murder investigation, so it wasn't like the justice system had even had a chance to sentence him for the crime yet. His only serious prior crime to the murder investigation was a rape investigation that didn't proceed to court because the victim refused to press charges. Even the rape charge that was dropped for the murder plea was only possible due to him having recorded himself in the act, evidence they only got because of the murder investigation.

    He was a guest in our country. She was secretly chasing something taboo. Beautiful girl playing a stupid game.going to meet a man for the first time at 3 am is a risky endeavor. I’m wondering what their text messages said prior to that meeting about what the intention was in the meeting at 3 o’clock in the morning? She didn’t deserve to die. And it makes me sad that she was that dumb to take that sort of risk.

Going to meet a strange man from a sugar daddy site you’ve never met in a deserted park at 2am is extremely dangerous. Prostitutes take more precaution.

    I really have a hard time believing much of what happened in this case. Her parents and friends didn't know anything about her doings online. She thought it fit to hide it from them, because she knew they wouldn't agree with it. Then the courts believe he only killed her. I'm bloody sure he wanted to have sexual intercourse and when she refused he'd beat her up, tied her up and sexually assaulted her before he killed her. Why young girls would risk exposing themselves to the dangers of these online dating sites and sell their bodies to complete strangers, is just plain madness. How many women haven't been scammed, attacked and murdered by criminals hunting women online. I wish the day would soon come that women will wise up and stop this practice and rather find decent work to make money, or safer ways to meet men. We shouldn't keep silent and not warn our girls while this is happening to our women-folk time and again without addressing the problem. I hope she's at peace in heaven. I apologise if it sounds like I'm blaming the victim and not the rubbish who took her life. Peace.

    It's not beneficial for society to ignore unwise choices made by these victims. Highlighting such choices and using them as examples of what not to do is a real warning for others. The best thing that can be done is to educate the public and encourage people to protect themselves. Crime can happen anywhere, but there are certain practices that can help to keep ourselves safe. Keeping risky behavior like this secret, not letting anyone know where you'll be, meeting strangers in remote places at night, participating in known sketchy dating sites, etc. are not actions to encourage.

    Wow, what a horrific story! So well told. By the podcast storyteller ! 10/10 Thank you for this story + warning to our younger community to be extremely careful with " online dating " if this story doesn't warn someone how dangerous online dating can be. Then nothing will!!

    It is absurd and pointless searching for some rationale or reason for him having done that, he wanted to, he liked the feeling that he got from the idea.

    He was from Nigeria. Very little respect for women over there. Especially white women.

    Nobody deserves to be murdered. If you don't have good morals and put yourself in situations you shouldn't be in, you put yourself at a higher risk of becoming statistics. I.e. becoming a sugar baby or prostituting yourself in any forms. Those are the people predators find first. The victims walk right into their traps. Raise your daughters to value their bodies, and not just financially.

    The light Mackenzie radiates is palpable. I feel like its coming through my computer screen. How senseless. It breaks my heart and enrages me. The perpatrator is an abomination who doesn't deserve to breathe. Thank you for covering this story. You guys always do a fantastic job of presenting the facts of these difficult cases. And always with a well written and articulate narration! I appreciate and look forward to your videos. Fly High, Mackenzie. 💘

    He is an evil excuse for a human being. May her soul rest in eternal peace, Makenzie is a victim who unfortunately came across a beast in human form., he should be placed under the jail in my opinion.

    Parents speak to your daughters about this kinda employment and also about trusting strangers 😮. I will never understand why she went straight from the airport to this Dude's house !!!. 😮 Crazy Stupid, he should have received the Death Penalty, this was premeditated and a Sexual assault leading to murder.
