Appears to have been on a lot of Acid or possibly Roofied, found naked, terrified in a trailer on a construction site wearing nothing but waterproof boots, and police tell her to just DRIVE herself home? I’m absolutely horrified and heartbroken by the circumstances surrounding her death and complete negligence on the part of law enforcement
Police need to get their s**t together on accessing a mental crisis. When in doubt, take the person to a hospital. Look what happens when they don't.
My husband and I are both thinking that the police must have had other interactions with her and just didn't want to deal with her. This is so sad.
Bizarre. She’s hiding and naked. Expressing fear. They mention possible drugs and or mental health issue. That’s grounds for a 5150 hold. Adverse to drug’s possibly and mental break, they allow her to drive a vehicle home. They failed her miserably.
We hear this time and time again how incompetent local police are. It seems like they fill a position to just fill a position. Special training needs to be done and often.
There needs to be tighter links between local police and mental health services in ALL of the states.
This happens (in some form or another) time and time again! 😢
Was she naked when they found her body in the water or was she dressed? She was naked when cops found her at construction site n sent her home… So did she go home n get dressed or no. Also, when cops found her at construction site, where were her clothes? In the car? Or did she leave home naked and drive to the site like that?
So ready for this! BrainScratch is my Fave
L.E.- "We really think she was either roofied or just trippin' balls, so we pointed her in the direction of home, and away she went!" 😲😓
And L.E. has the nerve to wonder why they're so often given such a bad rap? 🤔🙄
❤Thank you John❤
Hi John. I rarely comment on your videos but I watch every Friday. I went to rehab for Meth. People don't realize how bad Meth psychosis really is. It took me out in 6 months after trying it for the first time. It has a molecular structure that is very close to LSD. It causes euphoria but also extreme paranoia, and from sleep deprivation it also causes you to trip. Not in a good way believe me! I can't make assumptions on this case but in recovery I heard so many stories from people in AA/NA meetings about the same kind of thing happening to them. Running through the woods and trying to hide from whatever you think is out to get you. Being able to drive and completely rational if confronted by police. I had a very similar experience that frightened me to the point where I checked myself into rehab. I feel lucky to be alive and thank God I wasn't involved in a car crash that would have injured others or would have been fatal. People need to realize a lot of these bizarre cases are Meth related. And the west coast has been overtaken by it. My prayers go out to Mekenna's family. Once again I wouldn't assume that this was what happened to Mekenna but it seems disturbingly familiar. Along with many other cases you and Danielle Hallen have covered. I checked myself into two different hospitals on my 5 day binge and was sent back out into the public to drive my car around within hours both times. In this case the police should have detained her for her own safety. She was trespassing and wearing only boots. That would get me arrested in PA for sure! Thanks for what you do and keep up the good fight!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
thank you for this insight and I hope you are recovering okay
I am on h. For 23 years and I tried Most of the drugs. But Not meth. Too afraid to try this. Altough i tried LSD a few Times. I had only good Experiences (trips) But still I am too afraid to try meth. I think it also depends on your mental state. If you Take lsd or/and meth when you have mental Heart Problems it will probably Affect you Negativly. I am happy you are clean now. Wish I could too. (Sorry i speak German, my english is Not good)
@@mirjamweibel9678 It is very rare people are as honest as you are in your post. Thank you for sharing that. I hope and pray one day you can get clean too, I know it is not easy.❤
Great coverage of this case. I am left feeling the only conclusion to be made is that Mekenna was very frightened. Whether the source of the fear was real or imagined, it caused her to act in a manner that was not typical, and a clear opportunity to get her help was missed.
Did she not tell the cops why she was afraid, who she was afraid of and did they not ask? How is this conversation not being had? If I was a cop I would have asked her a lot of questions of who why and what specifically and drove her home to check the situation out! Did they let her drive away naked? Im in shock at how absurd the cops behavior was
Right!? My thoughts exactly. Where is the rest of that conversation. That’s a huge missing piece. And they let her drive home naked? And where did she get undressed? We’re her clothes in the car? And was she found naked when they located her body in water??
So good at what you do, John Lordan. So happy you keep doing it!
Hi, John. Just a comment. I can't remember why I wanted to say this.
My best friend lives in this area. This area goes through wild fires every year. Yes, I could see how it could affect the terrain. I hadn't thought of that. Sometimes the smoke gets so bad she can't see the apartments across the way from her.
Every year, just about, she has a story from her niece. Her niece fights those fires.
That area is gorgeous but rugged. I can see why it's so difficult to find anyone.
The level of water in Blue River reservoir is constantly changing. LCSO could not be bothered to care about ANY citizens
I’ve been a subscriber of yours for about 7 years. This case hit close to home as I live about an hour & half away from Lane County in the Willamette (pronounced Will-lam-met) Valley. I hope McKenna’s case comes to a full resolution soon. Thanks for always covering your cases with true concern & respect. Lisa M
So, I'm 10 mins in. She was found naked, in the construction container, then she got in her car *naked* , and drove off? The cops were just like "yeah that seems normal"? I'll edit this comment once I see more of the video, but at this point, I'm really confused.
Edit: A couple things come to mind here. Theres a meth issue happening in most small towns, I would say "in oregon", and "recently", however, I recall there being a problem with "crank" (meth) going all the way back to the early 90s in small towns in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and Utah (I lived in those states from '90-early '00s). Because of the current political climate, and the recent decriminalization of drugs, some like to think these issues have only just begun. Also because of the current political climate, some LE in many of these small towns are using the "self cleaning oven" method of dealing with anything that even remotely seems drug related. I'm currently living in a tiny town in Oregon, and watching it play out here in real time.
I'll come back and edit, again, after watching more of the video.
I might be wrong but I thought this channel had a lot more subscribers. Very strange! Great job on this case guys! Thank you!
RUclips is messing with subs again.
I'd say it's that because John doesn't clickbait and pander to the lowest common denominator he misses some of that contingent.
I thought so too. He is so genuine... regardless, he deserves more.
@@leapinglizard3937Yeah I randomly get unsubscribed from channels for no reason, I’ve noticed. How does that even happen?
So many geographical clarifications that can't be done over messages and be able to have anyone that does not live up here see it clearly. Basically though Mekenna lived, appx. 3 miles from the last sighting, on the road that led to one side of the reservior, which is located less than a mile from her driveway. The first photo you showed was the side closest to her house. The other photo that you showed where you questioned the access to the structure is on the other side of the reservoir, which is closer to where she was last seen.
Thankfully I am in touch with Bevin and she will be joining us on the channel soon. Thanks for the additional detail!
Im sorry. But those cops who let her go after they found her naked and scared fucked up. She needed to be brought in because obviously there was something bery wrong.
The fact that investigators told the family that it appeared she was "either roofied or on a lot of acid" really shines a bright light on their utter incompetence considering those two different things wouldn't look even remotely similar to one another. They're on two polar opposite ends of the drug intox spectrum. Someone who's been roofied is going to be extremely tired and lethargic, very slow to respond and/or react, nodding in and out... whereas somebody on a lot of acid is going to be wide awake, frantic, pupils completely dilated, having hallucinatory delusions, etc... you know... "trippin' balls." Two VERY different drugs with wildly opposing effects and stimuli.
And then... knowing that these knuckleheads were assuming she was "either roofied or on a lot of acid," why the hell would they just let her drive home (especially considering it was a woman who was butt-naked)?! That makes even less sense! Regardless, my sincere condolences to her family and loved ones. I really hope they're able to find better answers to their very reasonable questions. Unfortunately, it seems like local law enforcement is far too inept to be able... or even willing to provide them with any of the answers that they're looking for.
💯💯💯💯
Number 1 and I love this wonderful man❤ Thank you John ❤
Cases like this are always unfortunate. Here’s hoping we find out what’s happened to her. Thank you for the work you do John, keep up the great work and have a great weekend. Take care!
Going from Pennsylvania to Oregon in itself seems like its for drugs. Pennsylvania is VERY strict on drugs. All drugs are decriminalized in Oregon its not surprising there's many disappearances there. Probably lots of traffickers too.
Yup. We're part of the I-5 corridor from MX to Canada. And, we're #1 in trafficking for yrs, both drug and sex traffiking. Add the amt of serial killers from the PNW. There were 4/5 active suspected in a summer of last year alone. Its crazy here.
Yet another Mitrice Richardson, thanks to police negligence
Perhaps the police couldn't do anything about her being under the influence, because drugs are not illegal in Oregon .
And it's pronounced will-lam-it. Born and raised in Oregon❤ praying for her and her family
Thank you Jordan for bringing light and perspective to Mekenna’s case! You are good at what you do!
❤ John hello handsome man and thank you for sharing your video. God bless this beautiful family ❤ Thank you Always Donna Barnes ❤
Reservoirs are gigantic in Oregon, there is a dam which lets water in and out of the Blue River Reservoir, therefore water is deep or there isn't any depending on the time of year. Half of Oregon is rainforest and the rest is desert and coastal, even the coast is right up next to forests. It can be very isolating. It's kind of been normalized; the amount of people who come here to eat shrooms and run through the forest naked. So many people get lost in the wilderness here, yet most get found. Yes, the officers should have at least followed her home and checked out her residence for her safety. Drug use in the forest is not a good idea; too much to get paranoid about and you really need all your faculties to take care of yourself if you live out there.
What are the laws in Oregon now that drugs are legal?
Just to let you know, RUclips had unsubscribed me.
I've heard that b4 on other channels. It's never happened to me that I recall but my comments go MIA quite often & it happens on any given channel.
Yeah, RUclips is pulling this again.
Thank you for covering Mekenna. There is something very compelling about Mekenna as a person and what happened to her is clearly an injustice. I look forward to seeing updates here.
Thanks for the video.
I want to ask a question halfway through the video before I forget the question.
Do you think the guy in the picture around the twenty-nine minute mark was going to another unit and just hit the wrong button? You seem to suggest that as a possibility. In that case, he has no connection to her situation. If that's the case, he's just a guy who was entering his unit number and hit a wrong button. He was probably denied at first and then went back and entered the right unit number and passcode.
I thought the same as you. ❤😊
What in the world is wrong with that police department?😳 How did they just let her drive away when they KNEW something was obviously wrong with her?? This entire case has been handled egregiously. 😡 Prayers for this poor woman's family🙏 And thank you for telling her story, John. Maybe now someone will see this and help her get justice. Because something is up in that town.
I know it's bad everywhere but in Oregon, PDs are right wing and the government is less right wing. PDs are constantly fighting any attempt to get them to stop mistreating people, or to reduce mass incarceration. They have openly said that they are not going to participate in enforcing a bunch of our laws. Basically "you wanted decriminalization legal, fine, it's legal to do what she's doing, we can't do anything"
I don't know the specifics of this case but this is a nearly universal attitude. They are bad.
@no_peace Omg, that's what our police, justice system, DCs, and government has become, and I don't know if it can be fixed anymore!! 😑
Right?! A naked woman hiding in a shed saying she's afraid to go home??? Like how does that not raise DV flags at the very least?
@jasminesploots6986 I know and that cop said she was acting like she might be on drugs!!! So take her in to keep her safe and go check it out!!! That IS their job , by the way!!
Regardless of what the cause of her death was, the way police handled the interaction with her is disgraceful.
Her car ends up back home.....
So once again, LE were the last people to see her, and all her personal items ended up back at her home as well as her car.
Wow, so devastating that the police didn't find an excuse to bring her in and make sure she was OK 😢😢😢
I’m wondering about bodycam from their meeting with her. Could be crucial
This case reminds me of the kristine Walter's case in California
And how well was her house searched?
Let's look at the last people who saw or heard her after the sheriff's nobody else around neighbor
New viewer and subscriber here, thank you for giving coverage to lesser known cases that desperately need attention! I’m skeptical that this was a mental health crisis, as it’s incredibly rare for someone in their 40’s to have their first psychotic break. It could be drugs, but she was able to hold down a steady job as a teacher before her disappearance (which makes me think maybe not?) Something about this case just feels off to me, I think you may be onto something with the DV angle. I hope her family gets answers one day.
Ok, only 30 mins in, and I can already say that those police failed her. From the position of someone who's been on both sides of the mental health crisis situation, I can't see any way that McKenna was in a safe condition to leave, driving her own car, after being found naked and afraid hiding on a construction site! Allowing her to do so was pure negligence. She needed medical attention, whether her condition was drug related or not, and it likely would have saved her life if she'd been taken to a hospital for observation and had her family notified, rather than being allowed to leave unsupervised.
We don't force people to receive mental health care in Oregon unless they are actively dangerous to others or to themselves. If she refused help and did not have a weapon or was not threatening suicide or threatening to hurt/kill others or animals then we don't force help upon them. If she was under the influence she still has the right to refuse help. It's not illegal to be naked in a big ass Oregon forest either.
@@trace-elementz1343And you think that being in a mental state where you're naked and afraid of *something* unstated, in a public place is one where you are not potentially a danger to yourself or others? When does a potential threat become an active threat? This sort of thinking is exactly why so many psych patients end up dead, missing, or in prison for something that they would not, in their right mind, have ever intended to do.
@@thing_under_the_stairs I said nothing about what I think!!! I said, "We don't force people to receive mental heath in Oregon" I'm speaking about the LAWS here in Oregon. Stop attacking Me! In many ways I would like to change the laws, yet it's a catch 22. What about individual freedoms and rights? I work in mental health (for many years now), I have family members much in need of MH care, yet they cannot be forced to accept it. If Mekenna refused at any point to go with the police they couldn't take her; it's the law here.
@@trace-elementz1343 I think you're being very obtuse and naive. here in the UK we could be sectioned,..made to seek medical help for less than this poor lady was displaying. Police will take someone to the Hospital, by law, and then a Doctor and Psychiatric professional will asess the person and they are either released or asessed in Hospital. A person can be sectioned for up to 2 weeks of asessment. If Oregon, or any other state dont even have this basic law to keep people safe, then you may , as a citizen and taxpayer want to get your laws changed because right now, theyre a shitshow. They're embarrassingly bad.
@@melissatheminx4710 Obtuse and Naive... well... that's so kind of you. BTW, if you were to slightly glance at the United States Declaration of Independence, one of the major premises is that our original 13 colonies were splitting from England and the UK for all of the right reasons including personal INDEPENDENCE. I really don't give a crud what you do in the UK and (when / if ) I do visit again, I will certainly behave in accordance of your UK laws and a more kindly attitude. You, nor I, were there when the police spoke with Miss Reiley but, I do live in Lane County and I do have information that she was asked if she needed or wanted to receive assistance from mental health services; she refused. The police allowed her to drive away rather than handcuff and force her into the squad car. I wish she had been spoken to and convinced to go with them with more "gusto", but unfortunately that was not the situation. Forcing her was not an option according to Federal and State laws. The police cannot change the laws at the drop of a dime or whenever they choose. As far as our laws being "shite," you may want to check on your own laws because one thing I am absolutely sure of is... you are not following all of them in perfect accordance! No way, not ever!

One of the reasons LE does not release case files in certain situations (especially when there is suspicion of substance use/abuse) is because the degree of decomposition can interfere in the determination of current and historic drug use. If LE suspected ongoing drug use and witnesses profess to drug use, there could still be problems with family and loved ones who will claim otherwise. If a body is not examined rather quickly after death, toxicology reports can be rendered useless.
Thank you so much for covering Mekennas case! We all appreciate you bringing attention to this situation. I pray that there is justice for Mekenna ❤
Thanks!
Thank you Sue!
Thank you for the donations.
Some don’t care unless they can make an arrest
Very well done. This is a sad case with so many opportunities to help missed by the first responders. Police sometimes lose sight of the rule to treat those you encounter like you would hope police would treat their own loved ones under similar circumstances.
Keep up this important work.
OMGOODNESS, saying she was not safe from what?😮
*They may have cleared her ex, but my senses are alarmed by the information here about him.
It appears that this was an unfortunate accident that happened while Mekenna was probably having some mental difficulties. I also think that the PD should close the case and let the family have the records. Virtually nobody trust police anymore in this country, and this is exactly the reason. I don't even see that they did anything wrong, or at least made the best call they could in a difficult situation, but when they hide everything by obviously lying about an active investigation, it just makes it look like they must be hiding something. If the PD are afraid it will make them look inept, then they shouldn't worry because everyone already thinks they are inept. Hiding the investigation just makes them look inept and suspicious.
If the family solves the case, who will arrest & charge the suspect?
Christ Sake..this ladies disapears/last to see her were police, past male friends/boyfreind. Talk about a battleship Full of Redflags!! Did the male freind/male freinds have anything 'Over the police"??
friends! :)
For all we know, the police _did_ follow her home and made sure she was safe. I'm almost certain they _would_ have provided her with a blanket or spare clothes because it's standard police procedure in these circumstances. Just because it's not explicitly stated that doesn't mean it didn't happen that way.
And making the suggestion that an arrest and incarceration is a simple and safe option is really lacking insight. We all know how fraught taking someone into custody can be, especially is they resist. The police could have been in a tough position here, with no mental health specialists available.
I’ve noticed some are quick to judge police actions, no matter what. Looking @ cases “objectively” is rare these days. Believe the victim, the victims’ families, & blame the cops, blame the DA’s is getting’ real old (to me). I prefer just the facts, opinions @ the end. I agree w/ you, & police don’t always tell the public the behind-the-scenes full truth.
Having a close family member with mental health issues, our hands are tied and LE has no power to help us even during dire and dangerous occurrences. They cant detain nor arrest.
You are correct. That definitely is not 100 feet, which is about the height of a 10 story building.
This lady could still be alive if they would have helped her. Law enforcement are there to help, not to help. Not in every case, but come on!!!
Hey John please do a video on Noah Presgrove-sounds like the family really need help and support
They should have looked at video of all the grocery stores to see if anyone was shopping with her. If so, that would be the last person to see her.
Suing the pants off of LCSO would be warranted in this instance, honestly.
Escape, with speakeasy sentence over here to watch and sub up to your channel
The police failed her! No clothes, possibly on acid, in fear... ok, you are ok to drive off alone smh.
I don't know why but this case reminds me so much of the toni Anderson case
I truly hope that she was’t a victim of J.L.C. (Allegedly). Even down to the restraining orders. I’m going to share this with some people I know who are pursuing more info (and thankfully JLC was imprisoned on June 6th on other charges BUT won’t be in there for much longer! ) LE dropped the ball on this one.
Thank you, John!
That sheriff's department has shot themselves in the foot: if I were in a position to know any information they are the last person I would want to talk to! As far as I'm concerned, they are responsible for what happened to her 😢
I agree if they really didn't help her and just let her go on her way, I am sorry they let her down.
Hi guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In my experience you have to put in your unit number or account number as well as a password to get into a storage facility. You need both, just one without the other won't allow entry. There can also be a magnetic card swipe as well as a code needed and he may have had one but not the other. I don't have any information about this case but just wanted to say it could make sense if the storage facility owner knows it was her storage unit he was trying to get into.
Sounds like a police cover-up. Are they culpable in her death? I don't think this is just about the police being irresponsible.
Maybe look at who saw or heard her after she left the sheriff's neighbor nobody else around
I really wish police had at least followed her home
I agree with you, something that would have taken 30 to 45 minutes is now costing her family a lifetime of pain.
Do I have this right that the police saw her naked in a shed but couldn't take her into custody because she seemed not to be breaking laws?or to be of sound mind?and family and friends in the river looking for her after being indecent in public and let go ????? Clearly struggling anyone in a shed naked ya think??!!!!!!
She’s also been linked to the Jesse Lee Calhoun murders. He was just indicted for murdering three women in the Portland metro area. Mekenna’s case is very similar to these three women, as well as two other women’s whose bodies were found around the same area in similar circumstances.
See, decriminalization of hard drugs in Oregon leads many investigative officials to not bother with addicts unless they're being disorderly. I understand why they didn't take her in on anything related to that. But i really wish they had used better discretion and taken her in anyway.
I hope her family sues that sheriffs department for all it’s worth. They should be held liable for her death. I know there’s a ton of drug use up there in Oregon and I’m sure they get tired of dealing with it, but they should have at least had her checked out, taken her to a hospital or followed her back home.
Do it yourself police work? Applause to them.I feel the police should ramp up and get help it is a money issue and it's gross.
I'm soo sorry to the family and will leave it alone now sooo angry and upset about her as it's horrible to be in a position that you can't go home and aren't able to have necessary items like shoes clothing etc.
You said she was escaping a dangerous situation. That seems feasible. Why else would someone be naked and hiding in a shed. Sad.
All of her personal effects were left behind, just like Chandra Levy.
Last seen by police 🤔 let me watch this
Super channel Thanks John for great content
A lot says to me about the groceries she didn't take them all in the house. Has anybody went to the grocery store that the groceries were from? cameras to see how she was at the grocery store because getting groceries could say a lot about her State of mind.
The groceries could add more of a time frame
Hi guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was unsubbed to you but I didn’t do it, has anyone else experienced this?
Why wasnt the women in a mental institutiom?
I gitcut
I truly enjoy your videos. And I'm not trying to be disrespectful at all I'm just trying to give you a little bit of constructive criticism. For me you talk way, way too slow. I have to put you on 1.5 the speed or I feel like I'm going insane waiting for you to say the next thing😂 again I truly love your work I appreciate all your dedication and information you put into your videos. I just think you could talk a little faster. God bless you and your cause 🙏
Thanks
Thank you so much kasiakedra. We truly appreciate the support!
Thank you for the donation
Please don't be greedy. Donate the profits to her family.
John has helped a lot of people during his time here on youtube. To even imply that hes greedy, or would be greedy, is seriously uncalled for.
He does make donations but please remember that making these informative videos is how he makes a living. If you feel that strongly then you could donate your weekly wages.
Huh?? You must be new here.
And nothing stopping you from donating, yourself.
How much have you donated?
This was very rude. John is one of the good ones
