On a Sunday night in February 2026, 18-year-old Megan Trussell left her dorm room on the campus of CU Boulder after having a fight with her roommate. She walked through the campus alone, with temperatures reaching almost 20 degrees fahrenheit. Then, she vanished. Six days later, Megan’s body was found in a culvert about three miles away from her dorm room. Investigators quickly ruled her death a suicide from an overdose of amphetamine. Since the ruling, Megan’s family has continued to fight for justice, bringing attention to the many inconsistencies and gaps in the investigation. They hope that with increased attention, the outrage will spread, and law enforcement will have no choice but to address the countless questions that still linger, and provide both Megan and her family with real answers. This is her story.
