Goffstown, New Hampshire(Crime Library) — When Laura Mackenzie disappeared from Goffstown on March 8, 2006, some people in New Hampshire were not too alarmed.

Sure, the blue-eyed brunette was on the Honor Roll at Goffstown High. According to her dad, William Mackenzie, Laura was close to her mother. Laura's father also volunteered to New Hampshire Union Leader staff writer Pat Grossmith on May 9, 2006 that Laura had been accepted by her school of choice for college.

Laura Mackenzie had also been arrested in Manchester, New Hampshire (NH) on February 15, 2006 and charged with shoplifting almost $1000 in merchandise from a mall there. She was due in court on the day she vanished. Authorities in Manchester issued a warrant for Laura's arrest when she failed to show on the 8^th. Later, a Hillsborough County Grand Jury indicted Laura Mackenzie for felony shoplifting.

Laura's parents knew nothing of her arrest or the court date until after she disappeared, but to the Manchester Police she could have been just another absconder.
