Mackenzie was a loving, motivated 17 year old girl.  She was attending high school full time, while also taking classes at the Academy of Hair Design.  On Feb 9, 2010, she left for school with plans to have a father/daughter dinner date that evening.  When Mackenzie doesn't come home at her usual time, her father begins to worry.  Join us in the closet as we discuss this sad and confusing case.
