Justice for Megan Trussell: An Unsolved Death

Justice for Megan Trussell: An Unsolved Death

Author: Moms and Mysteries Podcast August 21, 2025 Duration: 30:01
An 18-year-old college freshman, full of creativity and ambition, walked out of her dorm room one cold February night in 2024 and never made it back. Megan Trussell was a gifted artist and bright student at Arapahoe Community College in Colorado when she disappeared on February 20th. Her family knew something was wrong immediately, but the investigation was plagued with delays and unanswered questions from the start. Six days later, Megan's body was discovered in a nearby canyon. Despite the grim discovery, the investigation quickly stalled, leaving her family desperate for answers. We explore the critical lapses in the early investigation, the frustration of her loved ones, and the challenges of seeking justice in a cold case. This is a heartbreaking story about a family's relentless pursuit of justice for their daughter whose life was cut tragically short.
