“Lueck, 23, disappeared on June 17 after landing in Salt Lake City, Utah, and taking a Lyft ride to meet a mysterious man in a park around 2 a.m.”

If meeting someone (a guy) at 2 a.m.—in a park doesn’t get you killed—what will?

By the way, where were the Central Park Five when this was happening?

LEAD IN LUECK CASE
NBCNEWS

Lueck, 23, has been missing for 10 days. After deplaning at Salt Lake International Airport upon her return from her grandmother’s funeral on June 17, Lueck took a Lyft to a park at around 2 a.m. where Salt Lake City Police believe she met someone.

Now, authorities say they have a lead in the case, with police having served a search warrant overnight at a house near the park where Lueck, who grew up in California, was last seen.

Outside the house, police set up a mobile command center and apparently searched the house for hours.

While the police have not named any suspects, Salt Lake City Assistant Police Chief Tim Doubt said in a press conference that residents of the house are being investigated.

“Of course they are a part of this investigation,” Doubt said. He would not comment on whether the police have made any arrests.

Police say that the Lyft driver and the ride-share company have been cooperative in the investigation, and are asking anyone with information to contact them as they continue the investigation into Lueck’s disappearance.

POLICE “DIGGING” FOR CLUES IN LUECK CASE

(KSL-TV)SALT LAKE CITY — Officials searched the house Thursday morning where a search warrant was served in connection with the investigation into missing University of Utah student Mackenzie Lueck.

Video footage from KSL Chopper 5 showed police digging holes in the backyard of the house located at 547 N. 1000 West. Police have not said if they've found anything as of Thursday morning.

Police served a search warrant at the Fairpark home shortly before 10 p.m. Wednesday. The scene was cleared shortly before 8:30 a.m. Thursday, according to KSL TV reporters at the scene.

A look into the backyard of the home where police were digging and had pop up tents in relation to missing 23 year old #MackenzieLueck. What did @slcpd find? We hope to find out sometime this morning. #ksltv

Lueck, 23, went missing June 17 after arriving at the Salt Lake International Airport. She took a Lyft ride to a North Salt Lake park, where she was dropped off about 3 a.m.

She met up with someone in a vehicle there, and has not been heard from since.

The owner of the home rents out part of it on Airbnb, according to the company’s website. He does not have any criminal history in Utah. KSL.com is not identifying him at this time as police have not confirmed if he's connected to Lueck’s disappearance.

It’s not clear what connection Lueck may have had to the home where police served the warrant Wednesday evening.

Salt Lake Police Assistant Chief Tim Doubt released few details about the home on Wednesday evening, but said more information would be released about what was found in the home.

“Given the nature of this case [N.S.: as a homicide-kidnapping], we just don’t want to make any mistakes,” he said.

Doubt said police would be at the scene of the home for several hours.

He did not say if any arrests had been made in the case, or if any of Lueck’s DNA was found at the scene. He added that police would continue to follow leads on the case until it is resolved.

“Sugar Daddy” popular in the colored community. Colored girls get to buy fancy clothes, cosmetics, party hardy, etc.

Whitey college age girls do the same to pay for tuition and living expenses? All those white girls driving fancy red convertible sports cars cannot have had their own money to pay for those cars.

(WAPO) Police executed a search warrant Wednesday at the home of a man they consider a “person of interest” in the case of missing University of Utah student Mackenzie Lueck.

The homeowner was not in custody and had spoken with detectives, Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown said Thursday at a news conference. He declined to name the owner of the home in the city’s Fairpark neighborhood or to say how cooperative he had been.

Detectives collected several pieces of evidence from the home and are testing them, Brown said. Police also are searching for a mattress and box spring they say were given away from the home last week and could be related to Lueck’s disappearance.

We are looking to find this mattress as well as a box spring in relation to this case. These items were possibly given away from 547 N. 1000 W. If you picked up these items please contact us at 801-799-3000 #MackenzieLueck #missingperson pic.twitter.com/Lqqby7iAxJ

Investigators carried shovels into the home’s backyard to dig around a fire pit, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. They later carried bags out of the house and towed a car, the Tribune said.

Neighbors told the Tribune that the owner had been renting out part of his house through Airbnb and that they recently saw him burning something in his backyard.

If he’s the killer, you won’t see much more coverage after an arrest—except here and MAYBE FOX for a couple hours.

LATE NEWS

(KSL-TV) Missing student MacKenzie Lueck's Instagram account — that her friends confirm is hers — started following another account as of just yesterday.

GRA: Either alive or...who knows?

N.S.: A red herring. Her killer did it, to make it look as if she’s still holed up somewhere alive. A variation on it was done before, I believe, by that crooked Illinois ex-cop, whose wives had a habit of disappearing, Drew Peterson.
