Update: 2021-09-1444

Mackenzie Cowell was a beautiful 17 year old girl with her entire life ahead of her. She was going to high school, on the dance team, modelling and taking classes at the Wenatchee Academy of Hair design. Mackenzie’s life was cut short and in such a brutal manner that it left Wenatchee stunned. Mackenzie's body was found stabbed, strangled, and mutilated. The case takes so many twists and turns with drug informants, potential cases of mistaken identity and eventually a conviction that left some wondering if the right person was behind bars.

eek, listening to this and then realizing he's already out of prison 😧
His apartment was a few blocks from the academy. Yes, Crescent Bar is 25 miles ish, south of Wenatchee. There are several who do not believe Chris did it. There are many who do not feel law enforcement did a good job
I watched 48 hours and the pause when Chris was asked if he did it, indicated he didn’t. The whole thing with the carpet and the video . . . my boyfriend lived in an apartment with four other guys that I would joke about stains and if it was clean or not. Idk how the blood got there, but I don’t think he did it. The character assassination because of TV shows and a tattoo is a bit much too. I have never in my life defended a killer, but this one seems off to me.
"The Crescent Bar" isn't a bar, it's an area along the Columbia River. And it's not just blocks from his apartment. Crescent Bar isn't in Wenatchee, its 25 ish miles away.
I think the police set him up by planting some blood in his home because his dna wasn't on the murder weapon or under her nails it was other dna..I think he's innocent
