Salt Lake City police confirmed Wednesday that missing University of Utah student MacKenzie Lueck was texting someone from the airport before she disappeared, but said after talking to that individual he or she is not considered a suspect or a person of interest “at this time.”
Police spokesman Michael Ruff said he could not elaborate on who that person was, what the pair texted about, whether their communication continued after she left the airport or if she is known to have communicated with anyone else that morning.
“Everything is still open. There is no person of interest.
