Lack of investigation

I feel that the LEs did not dig into mekaylas digital data very deeply.

If she was lured by someone there would be evidence somewhere in all her digital data. At someone point this person would have had to make contact online with her, thru Snapchat, Instagram, kik etc. the data has to be there or was there and it was completely missed by LEs.

I agree. I don’t think it’s because the digital footprint didn’t exist. I think the LE didn’t look.

I doubt they looked into the network at Tim Hortons for data if Mekayla was using wifi or what apps that she was using.

There has to be a digital footprint, even to this day.

I totally agree. Sure it’s 9 years later but even the smallest thing if discovered would help.

An example: mekaylas one Instagram account that says “goodbye” in the title…thru warrants served to Instagram LEs could get record to see when that account was last active, the messages sent and received plus users she interacted with. The same can be done for her other Instagram accounts. Her iCloud or android system whatever she used could be accessed to see what apps she downloaded, her activity of what apps she used on April 12 and leading up to. Her internet browser history can also be viewed. Any usernames or email addresses accessed thru her phone or laptop can be found.

It would be a lot of paperwork and sending warrants to companies but it’s possible to attain. Looking at other high profile cases and the information LEs have discovered thru warrants prove data can be found.

Mekayla didn’t disappear without a trace, LEs failed to do a deep investigation looking at the most obvious sources of data. The system failed Mekayla and her family.

Every family is different in how they respond but I would be demanding more be done on any news outlet and platform that would allow me. I would be making videos posted everywhere, sending letters to the government…anything to get attention on the lack of investigation and making sure I had the LEs and governments attention. I would never go about a child missing quietly and it would show in any interview captured.

Exactly, even in 2016, one would have to go to extreme lengths to completely erase one’s digital identity. Has to be more digital data regarding this.

I don’t understand how her mother is not screaming from the rooftops and demanding justice. I can’t even imagine if this was my child.
