The activity level is quite high in the group, there are lots of people who try to find Kenzie. Some are suspicious of Szimpla Kert, quoting reviews saying that girls were drugged there by having powder mixed into their drinks.
Others try to remain cool and do what they can. According to an update posted 15 hours ago, the Hungarian police extended the investigation from a local level to the capital. A part-time employee of the publisher of the update said police collected “several footages from both Szimpla and the streets near the bar.” Finally, the investigation is one of the top priorities of the authorities, “with over a dozen ground-level policemen who actively collect every data available.”
