American Tourist Killed in Budapest; Irish Man Charged

Mackenzie Michalski, a nurse from Portland, was found dead after meeting the suspect at a nightclub.

Mackenzie Michalski, 31, was reported missing on November 5 and later found dead in a wooded area near Lake Balaton.
The suspect, a 37-year-old Irish man, confessed to the killing but claimed it was accidental during an intimate encounter.
Authorities used CCTV footage to identify and track the suspect, leading to his arrest on November 7.
The suspect attempted to cover up the crime by hiding Michalski's body in a suitcase and dumping it miles away from Budapest.
Michalski's family, who traveled to Hungary to aid in the search, held a candlelight vigil in Budapest to honor her memory.
