Megan Trussell's family question investigation

The death of Megan Trussell, an 18-year-old University of Colorado student, has raised significant questions about the investigation's integrity after she was found dead in Boulder Canyon. The Boulder County Coroner's Office ruled the death a suicide due to toxic effects of amphetamines, but her parents believe this conclusion was reached hastily. They are pursuing an independent investigation and have requested additional testing on the undigested medication found in her stomach. Trussell's family has also engaged the local community by distributing care packages to gather information. Her father criticized investigators for their lack of urgency and curiosity, while the Boulder County Sheriff defended the thoroughness of the investigation.

The family highlights evidence that they believe points to foul play, including injuries that could indicate an assault. Trussell was found with only one shoe and her purse located miles away from her body, raising further doubts. The parents remain committed to seeking answers, emphasizing community safety over personal grief.
