By Dakin Andone and Marlena Baldacci, CNN

(CNN) -- The body of University of Utah student Mackenzie Lueck has been found in a canyon north of Salt Lake City, police said Friday.

Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown said in a news conference that he was "relieved and grief-stricken" to report that Lueck's body was recovered Wednesday in Logan Canyon, about 90 miles north of Salt Lake City. Investigators were subsequently able to forensically confirm it was Lueck, Brown said.

The 23-year-old was last seen in the early morning hours of June 17 when she was dropped off at a park in North Salt Lake City. There, police have said, she met another individual and vanished.

Last Friday police arrested 31-year-old Ayoola Ajayi in connection to Lueck's death and at the time said he was expected to be charged with aggravated murder, aggravated kidnapping, obstruction of justice and desecration of a body. He's currently being held without bail.

2. So sad

As a former USU student I drove up Logan canyon daily for years.

3. Not to discount the tragedy, but what about the non-blonde missing girls?

It seems like the only young women who get any play on the news are all blonde, white girls. What about the other young women?

I just googled "missing teen in Aruba" and Natalee Holloway is still at the top of the list. I bet there are more than few other, non-blonde girls missing that should be getting some front-page press and are not.

Please do not alert on this post and try to say I'm being insensitive. I feel horrible for the girl's family. But I'm pretty tired of the fact that the only missing women who get any attention are the pretty white ones.
