Bonus: Mackenzie Lueck - June 17 Remembrance | True Crime Podcast

Each year on June 17, we remember Mackenzie Lueck. Mackenzie was 23 years old when she landed in Salt Lake City after returning from California. It was the middle of the night. Instead of going home, she took a Lyft to Hatch Park in North Salt Lake — a quiet, dimly lit place where she believed she was meeting someone she had connected with online. Then her phone went silent. This remembrance re-release revisits Mackenzie’s case with care: the late-night airport arrival, the Lyft ride, the final messages, the digital trail, the location data, and the investigation that followed. This episode is not only about what happened to Mackenzie. It is about memory, trust, online vulnerability, and the difficult reminder that behind a profile, a message, or a planned meeting, there can be danger we are not prepared to see. Content warning: abduction, online dating danger, violence, and death. Listener discretion advised. Hosted by Frank Battiston. Produced by Daniel Urdanivia. A PowerTale Podcasts production.
