The body of MacKenzie Lueck, the University of Utah student who was killed sometime after she flew back to Salt Lake City on June 17, has been found.
“We have retrieved MacKenzie Lueck from Logan Canyon,” Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown announced at a news conference Friday.
Few details were given about how the body was found. Brown and Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said her remains were found sometime Wednesday.
“Despite their grief,” Brown said of the Lueck family, “we hope this will help them find some closure and justice for MacKenzie.”
Ayoola Ajayi, 31, was booked into jail on June 28, on suspicion of aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping, desecration of a body and obstruction of justice after a SWAT team arrested him that morning at a West Temple apartment complex. He is being held without the opportunity to post bail.
Police had previously said charred human tissue was found in Ajayi’s yard and was a DNA match for Lueck.
As of Friday morning, Ajayi had not been charged. Gill asked for and received an extension until Tuesday to file formal charges, and said Friday that charges should be filed early next week.

The guy who did this is a perverted monster. Perverts like that spend all their waking hours planning and committing unspeakable acts on their victims. One cannot pass that off as stupidity. The young woman, on the other hand, deluded into thinking having sex with wealthy or supposedly wealthy men is a good way to make money, is not in the same category as her killer; she was obviously incredibly ignorant of the dangers. Young people that age, are still in the phase of development called “magical thinking” -— the notion that nothing bad is going to happen to them, that they are indestructible. some kids are more prone to this than others. It’s why parents try to teach their kid’s what could happen to them (at which kids that age, scoff). Never in a million years, does it occur to kids that something like this could happen to THEM. It will ruin her family’s lives, and will turn her younger relatives into terrified (but safe!) kids who will learn to trust no one, and have the hideous images of this crime seared into their brains forever. They will be jaded and marked for life, keeping them from enjoying even normal behavior. God help them.
You posted to my second post which was a quote from an article.
I don’t know where you get I was ‘insisting’.
“And now you’re going with “never served”. What’s next?”
If you don’t graduate from basic you never serve. He couldn’t serve since he was ineligible to deploy with the unit.
6 years at the outside but probably sooner...IMHO...
Go back to my first post - i never said he served. A Maj. in the National Guard used that terminology:
“He joined the Utah National Guard and was discharged in June 2015 after six months of service, said Maj. David Gibb.”
Anyhow i think we can both agree that the fact that this sleezebag was briefly associated with the National Guard in no way detracts from the other 99.9% of the members who serve.
Good point, good point.
Maybe I shouldn’t have put it that way.
“Prayers for the family. They will never be the same.”
+1.
As Hooters waitresses' jobs don't involve meeting strange men on dark streets at 3am, yes it would be a safer choice.
One possibility is the sugar baby has fantasies of the wealthy older man falling for her and promoting her to trophy wife, or at least setting her up in a long-term relationship.
“Many of us— even here— could have ended up dead as well.”
Hoo boy, you said a mouthful there, FRiend.
It’s astonishing that I’m still here.
Too many close calls to count.
I’m grateful every day that I lived long enough for my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ to grab hold of me & spin me around in the right direction.
That poor girl could have turned around, too, but her chance was taken away.
“Anyhow i think we can both agree that the fact that this sleezebag was briefly associated with the National Guard in no way detracts from the other 99.9% of the members who serve.”
As soon as they examined him he was kicked out.
Your sentiment is generally true, but some things are riskier than others is all I’m saying. Women are more vulnerable physically and we have to take greater care.
True.
Your a joke.People make choices.Sometimes their right and sometimes their wrong,You move on.
I’m a joke?
Where do you get that from what I said? Baffled.
She chose a very dumb lifestyle, but she may have just been young and not a good long term thinker. I’m so sad for her and her family.
“You move on”? Who? The girl? Her parents?
Actually, she probably was very bright. She was a nursing student, you have to have excellent grades to be admitted to nursing school. It is highly competitive.
She was from California, and who know what type of liberal upbringing she had. If she had waited until she became a nurse, she could have met a lot of men at work who had the financial means that she wanted.
So did I.
She may have been intellectually bright as a nursing student. She made a poor lifestyle decision. It cost her her life and I’m devastated for her and her family.
I wish I knew a way to prevent young people from making life changing mistakes, but I don’t, because they often won’t listen to reasonable advice. I know I didnt. As smart as I was intellectually, I made some very dumb choices too, though luckily I lived through them.
Victim shaming.
It is not victim shaming, but do dumb things.....like being a prostitute. Meeting men at 3 am is just asking to be a victim . It reminds me of the movie “ Looking for Mr Goodbar”.
Actually, I just read she was in pre nursing. Maybe not so smart after all.
