Mackenzie Lueck Cause of Death Autopsy Press Conference Transcript

On July 10, 2019 Salt Lake City County District Attorney Sim Gill revealed new details in the homicide case of Mackenzie Lueck. Lueck, a Utah State University college student, was murdered last month after meeting a man she was communicating with online, 31 year old Ayoola Ajayi.

On July 3rd police discovered her charred body in a wooded area of Logan Canyon and painted a horrifying picture: Mackenzie was found with her arms bound behind her back with zip ties & rope, and 5 centimeter hole in the left side of her head with part of her skull missing.

In the days leading up to the grisly discovery, neighbors had reported “a horrible smell coming from a fire in Ajayi’s backyard” and observed him pouring gasoline into the blaze.

Detectives executed a search warrant and conducted a forensic investigation of his backyard, finding a human bone, part of a scalp with hair, charred muscular tissue, and other items of evidentiary value.

An autopsy concluded Mackenzie Lueck died from intracranial hemorrhaging due to blunt force trauma.

The Mackenzie Lueck Press Conference Transcription is below, which includes additional details and a question and answer session with reporters:

Mackenzie Lucek Suspect Ayoola Ajayi ‘s Bizarre Past: The case of Mackenzie Lueck, a 23 year old University of Utah student missing for 11 days, took a dramatic turn overnight with police searching and digging the backyard of a home in the Fair Park, Utah area. On Monday June 17th, Mackenzie flew into Salt Lake City airport after returning from a short trip to attend her grandmother’s funeral in California. She never made it home. According to a police timeline, after texting her parents at 2am MST notifying them that her flight had safely landed, Mackenzie Lueck took a Lyft ride and requested to be dropped off at Hatch Park in North Salt Lake City, arriving to the destination at 2:59am. The Lyft driver told police he saw her greet an individual who was waiting for her in a car, and she did not appear to be in distress.

On June 26, police executed a search warrant at 547 North 1000th W. in Fair Park, Utah. Throughout the night and into the morning a massive team of investigators scoured the home and backyard, bringing out boxes and bags of evidence including ammunition. A SkyTeam helicopter captured detectives digging multiple holes in the backyard, and K9s were on the scene.
