Mackenzie Michalski
On the evening of November 4, 2024, Mackenzie met a man, 37, at a nightclub in Budapest, Hungary while on vacation. He is a citizen of Ireland and was identified only as L.T.M.
After dancing together that evening, Mackenzie and L.T.M. travelled to his rented apartment. According to him, he accidentally killed her during an intimate encounter.
To conceal Mackenzie’s death, L.T.M. cleaned the apartment. He then rented a car, put her body in a suitcase, hid it in woodland near Szigliget, Veszprém County, Hungary and drove back to Budapest.
On November 5, 2024, Mackenzie was reported missing. On November 7, 2024, L.T.M. was arrested at his rented apartment in Budapest.
While L.T.M. confessed to killing Mackenzie, he insisted it was an accident. He showed detectives where he had disposed her body.
Budapest’s Metropolitan Prosecution Office applied to extend the detention period of the suspect. On December 6, 2024, the metropolitan magistrate’s court of the city decided to detain him until March 10, 2025.
The suspect is represented by György Magyar. The lawyer claimed that Mackenzie’s death was an accidental act without intention.
On January 18, 2025, Mackenzie’s family and friends gathered at Asbury Hall in Buffalo, Erie County, New York. It would have been her 32nd birthday.
