A Deadly Chapter in the Book of Mormon

Jan 19th, 2026 5:00 AM

Hey Slaycaters we kick off year three of Slaycation with a twisty-turny case that will leave you shocked, appalled and questioning humanity. Part of the reason we make and consume true crime shows is to try and get a handle on ‘what would cause a seemingly normal person to become a murderous monster?’ Well, buckle up — because this case delves deep into the darkness of evil that exists in the heart and mind of a killer. Poor Mackenzie Lueck, a good Mormon girl attending college in Utah, probably could have made some better life choices, but when you find yourself in the clutches of a madman who is determined to kill — it almost doesn’t matter what you did to get there. You’ve been warned. As always we thank you so much for ‘Slaycating’ with us and we beg of you — please stay safe out there! CASE STARTS at 8:40 (after ads & lots of banter/reviews etc!)
