In the early morning hours of June 17, Mackenzie Lueck returned to Salt Lake City after attending her grandmother’s funeral in the Los Angeles area...
Lueck, who is studying kinesiology at the University of Utah, took a Lyft ride from the Salt Lake City International Airport to an address in North Salt Lake, according to a news release from Salt Lake City police Saturday.
That was the last time she was seen.
Friends and family say they are unsure why she went to that address because she does not live there.
Her parents last heard from her at 1 a.m. on June 17, when she texted them to say she had landed safely.

“Police say the Lyft driver is cooperating with investigators. In a statement, Lyft told CBS News there were no irregularities in the ride Lueck took, and that it ended at the destination she entered in the app. The driver continued taking other customers immediately after dropping her off.”
She looks young, cute and vulnerable. Not a good combination for the predator class.
Many of these young girls have no fear, when they should.
Could be a Tinder “hook up” or some such nonsense. Hope she is ok.
We’ve spent decades teaching kids “Never get into a vehicle with a stranger”, and here we are now with Uber and Lyft.
If she lives in an apartment, uses social media, and has lots of “friends,” someone among them might have known her itinerary and was either loitering in or around her apartment. Or a predator (a neighbor she might even know) might have followed her up after seeing her leave the Lyft.
If she took a Lyft ride then she had a smart phone with her set to transmit GPS coordinates. Where did the phone go after leaving the car?
Posted last night Ben with an amazing Uber war
Freepers don’t get out much was my conclusion
Poor girl
I could tell where her folks in Salt Lake or LA
Since Lyft/Uber rides are documented in the app the driver’s story can be easily verified. If the ride ended where specified, and there is documentation of subsequent fares for the driver after the drop-off, it would appear that whatever happened to this young woman occurred afterward the ride.
I guess a key datum is how soon after this drop-off did the driver pick up the next fare.
Who owns or leases the address she went to?

All women are vulnerable unless armed
Booty call . . . drug hookup . . . predatory acquaintance . . . The truth will come out, but we’ll have moved on to the next outrage. Same thing happened last night in Chicago: a drunk young woman hopped in a vehicle with a perfect stranger assuming it was her Uber/Lyft ride. Sexual assault ensued.
They all think (if they think) they are bullet proof and invisible.
Only a body was never recovered so he laid low until declared legally dead some seven years later. He was discovered purely by happenstance some three years after that living in a non descript town some 50 miles down on the other side of the river under an assumed name. The drug dealer to whom he owed most of the debt had died in state prison. The girl he had knocked up had completed nursing school, gotten married and were raising his daughter and two more of their own. The canoe rental outfit had gotten their canoe back undamaged, and there was no insurance money paid, so he really didn't see the problem.
However, the jurisdiction which had searched for the body was not happy and wanted to be reimbursed. As a side benefit, he had also kicked the drug habit and gotten gainful employment, but he was so fearful of being discovered that he never dated or traveled far from the town where he had landed.
Every younger generation feels invincible.
And taxis, don’t forget taxis.
He needs to write a book.
We have also been teaching kids that guns are bad and citizens don’t need guns because the police will protect them.
... and here we are.
The writer of the headline is trying to pin this on Lyft. It has nothing to do with Lyft, any more than it would with any random taxi company.
