Soon afterward, police then received another report from a different friend– claiming that Megan had called them and asked for a ride.
But, after the friend arrived to pick up Megan in the area she claimed to be in, they recalled how they could not locate her.
And on Christmas Day, there was one last sighting of Megan. That day, a man claimed to have spotted her at a local liquor store– although this report remains unconfirmed.
Yet, it was not until February 2016 that Megan was actually reported missing. The report was filed by her family members, who had not seen or heard from her in two months.
Megan was a young woman known to be spontaneous and lead a somewhat unstructured lifestyle. However, after such an extended period of no contact, her loved ones suspected something was wrong.
And after she was reported missing, her boyfriend, David, quickly became a person of interest in her disappearance.
He first led police on a high-speed chase in February 2017. Afterward, his home was then searched– leading authorities to discover an illegal AK-47 and 24 pipe bombs.
Later, on April 29, 2019, David had a fatal run-in with investigators. It all began after he was pulled over by authorities for a warrant.
Then, while in his father’s home, he was involved in a shootout– ultimately shooting the Rice County Sheriff, killing his father, and taking his own life.
Following this tragic event, authorities traveled to David’s former home in October 2019. While there, they dug up David’s former pet dog’s grave.
This action supported a circulating theory that David had killed Megan and fed her to his dog before subsequently killing his dog.
