Episode 363: The Murder of Mackenzie Lueck

23 year old Mackenzie Lueck went missing after returning to Utah in June 2019. Her Lyft driver saw her get into another person’s car, and using digital analysis, investigators were able to identify who that person was. When searching his home, they made a horrible discovery. Mackenzie was a “real spitfire” according to her mom and had so much life ahead of her when her life was brutally taken.
