Kathryn Brooke McCloud, 25, of Goldsboro, North Carolina, was killed on November 30, 2018. Known as Katie, she graduated from Southern Wayne High School in 2011, had been active in school activities including Saint Sound and the tennis team, and was crowned Little Miss North Carolina in 2001. She was born December 5, 1992.

Wayne County deputies were called that morning after a report from Katie’s grandmother that her son, 49-year-old Steven Mark Mackie, had killed Katie and her boyfriend, Keith Evan Presnell. Investigators found the bodies at the residence; Mackie was taken into custody and charged with two counts of murder and held without bond. Reports say Mackie was believed to be bipolar and off his medications. An unidentified woman who was at the house was also interviewed.

Katie’s funeral was held December 5, 2018, and the family asked for balloons to be released at the service. If anyone knew Katie, Keith, or saw activity at that Goldsboro residence on November 30, 2018, please share what might help the record.
