The parents of the murdered American woman Mackenzie Michalski shared new info about the Irish perpetrator, the FBI’s role in the investigation after their daughter went missing, and the fundraising campaign they started to bring home the body of their beloved relative.
Kenzie Michalski’s murderer sticks to his version of the story
According to Blikk, the parents do not believe that their daughter fell victim to a consensual BDSM sexual encounter that went wrong. The Irish perpetrator sticks to his version that the 31-year-old American woman asked him to tie her up and cause her pain. He told the police that something went wrong during that, the girl suffocated and died in the man’s downtown apartment. Then he tried to get rid of the body and buried her corpse in the marshes near Szigliget, close to Lake Balaton. That is one factor why the Hungarian police still regard the tragedy as murder.
The parents of Ms Michalski do not believe the Irish man’s version. They said their daughter was intentionally killed, there was no accident, and the 37-year-old Irish man, also on holiday in the Hungarian capital, planned the murder. They wrote in a Facebook post that “based on all available evidence reviewed during consultation with the Hungarian Police, our daughter’s death was in no way accidental despite claims to the contrary. It was a deliberate and violent murder.”
FBI praised the proficiency of the Hungarian Police
The parents of the murdered American woman also praised the efficiency of the Hungarian Police. They added that even the department responsible for transatlantic investigations of the FBI was involved in the search for the missing woman in Hungary. The Hungarian police said they helped the inquiry with “multiple procedural steps”. FBI also helped the parents with administration while in Hungary. Blikk learned that the American agency acknowledged the quickness and proficiency of their Hungarian colleagues during the entire investigation. FBI agents agreed they could not have done it better.
Ms Mackenzie’s body is already in the United States. Since the transportation cost a fortune, they started a donation campaign, which went better than expected. The target was USD 35,000, but they received more than 46,000 from more than 500 donors.
Will the autopsy results solve the case?
“After our encouraging interactions with the Hungarian Police and other authorities, we remain hopeful that Kenzie’s killer will be held responsible for his crimes to the fullest extent of the law”, they wrote.
Meanwhile, the lawyer of the Irish guy, György Magyar, seems to be convinced that his client is not guilty. He said the autopsy would help reconstruct the circumstances and define the cause of death. Up to now, the Hungarian media has not reported about the autopsy results.
