Is there any new info on this case? For those who don't know the details, here: http://www.unsolved.com/0150-Megan.html

Titan826 · 04-25-2008, 04:19 PM

I just searched around the internet, and as far as I could find out, no, there has not been any new breaks in the case. It's a shame...that was such a cruel way for someone to be murdered.

the main suspect that the cops had in the case died after a fall from a water tower. he was an ex boyfriend/husband of megans.

The composite of the killer chills me to the bone. That was pretty brazen of him to kill her after being seen by someone else and to light the place on fire after killing her. I wonder if there were similar crimes like this committed in and around east Texas - Louisiana.

Perhaps we should cast a net around that timeline and see if there were any other crimes comitted like that around that timeline

I wonder if the story Megan's friend told is true.
- She was the only one who saw the car and the stranger.
- She was with Megan in her own apartment that night.
- She went up and stood outside Megans apartment looking in.
-Why was she so worried about Megan that night ?
-Why did'nt anybody else see the stranger and his car ?
-Why was Megan's door locked after the fire ?
-Did the police find any other fingerprints outside Megan's door and inside the apartment ?
-Did they find any hair or other DNA material in Megans apartment ?
-Why was'nt Megan naked if someone intented to rape her ?
-And why was she not raped ? I am pretty sure she was not...

One of my theory's:
Megan and her friend had an lesbian relationship.
Megan's friend suggested bondage cause then the killing would be easier. The bondage thing suggest to me that it was planned and a woman killed Megan not a man. A man would probably not need to tie up his victim to be able to kill. When the friend had killed Megan by slitting her throat twice she could not watch her crime and placed a garbage bag over her head. She could not look at what she had done and wanted to spare herself the image of death. The killer had probably not killed before. The reason for killing Megan was maybe an act of jealosy because Megan had told about her night out meeting other people.
Megan's friend let the bed on fire to hide evidence and maybe it was an act of panic.
(What was used to start the fire some kind of fuel ? If so was it something Megan had in her apartment. If not was it something from her friends apartment ?)
She then locked the door with her own key ? Like she used to do after a late night visit with Megan. Maybe the key Megan used still was in the apartment ? If so it strongly suggest this theory.
I think she made up the story about the stranger and told the police she was outside Megan's apartment cause she knew the fingerprints and footprints was fresh. And maybe somebody else had seen her going up or down the stairs ? Megan's friend would probably fail a lie detector test.

Very interesting. If the friend didn't lie about the guy, why did he kill her and not rape her, unless he just liked to kill? That is if she didn't get raped. If she did get raped, then the theory about the friend being the killer is wrong. So does anyone know if Megan was raped or not?

If I remember correctly she was not naked she had some kind of kinky underwear on. Probably not raped.

This is one very disturbing case. Whoever killed her must have known her well. Megan's mother said that Megan would not get in a stranger's car unless she knew them well. I get the impression that she was having some sort of fling with one of her ex-boyfriends and something went wrong.

I live in Conroe, Tx, just outside of Houston. This crime took place in Lufkin, Tx which is 2 hours east of here. I have always wondered if the police in Lufkin werent skilled enough in crimes like this due to the fact that this rarely happens there, and thus, missed alot of crucial evidence or overlooked it, causing the killer to get away. Lufkin is a small town right on highway 59. My theory is that some random stranger stopped for the night, met her at the bar and went back to her place afterwards. I think if it had been her ex husband or ex boyfriend, she would have told her neighbor that way she would be less concerned.

I believe the intent was to kill her the whole time. The Electric Cowboy, which is the dance hall Megan was at, has been torn down and a new store has been built in its place. I really hope the killer gets caught, but I highly doubt he ever does considering it happened so long ago and there wasn't much evidence to go on then, much less now.

1. Not to be disgusting or graphic, but if you think about it there are plenty ways to rape someone with their clothes on.

2. Megan may have been given the chance to put her clothes back on.

Quote:

Megan and her friend had an lesbian relationship.

Everything about Megan's background suggests quite the opposite. She had no problem getting men to sleep with her.

Quote:

Why was Megan's door locked after the fire

To prevent her from escaping. The killer may have left via a window.

Quote:

Not necessarily.

1. This may have been role play. A lot of women like to play rape. This may have been role play that went to far.
2. Torturing via cigarette butts is a common technique with tied up women. So is candle wax. Maybe this precipitated the fire.

Quote:

Blindfolds and masks are common devices in S&M and role play sex. As well as sexual asphyxiation.

I have two theories on this case:
1. Megan engaged in rough sex with some guys she knew. The sex got out of hand and she died as a result. The killer then resorted to covering up the scene. Maybe even set the fire.

2. Some jealous guy may have been tired of Megan's promiscuity and dedcided to teach her a lesson. This may have only started by him scaring and assualting her.

Great ideas, Mastermind! I had never thought of the idea that everything was consensual and then something happened that caused her death and then they panicked to hide the evidence. That actually seems like a real possibility.

In terms of the lesbian angle:

1: I feel that Megan's neighbor was probably extensively quesitoned and initially viewed as a supsect, since she was the last one to see Megan alive; if the neighbor had given any inconsistent statements, or aroused suspicion, I'm sure that the police would have mentioned that she was a suspect. In other words, we can conclude that the police feel that she was not involved.
2: Just to add one thing: The fact that Megan could "get many men to sleep with her" doesn't mean that having a lesbian relationship is out of the question. She could have been bisexual; it certainly seemed that she liked sex, so perhaps she was willing to try anything

Seriously though, the idea that things got out of hand is just as likely as the ideas that this was a psychotic, sadistic killing.

Some do, perhaps, but I wouldn't say a lot.

I agree to an extent. I believe that she met a guy at the club and invited him back home. I don't believe he intended to murder her or else he would have ran into the bathroom or tried to hide his identity when her neighbor came to the door. But yes, I do believe that the sex got out of hand and he put a bag over her head to choke her, then maybe that didn't work so he cut her throat and set everything on fire to try and conceal the murder. The one question I have is that her neighbor/friend, on camera, said she was very concerned etc.., well if I was that concerned about a friend of mine, I would have written down that person's license plate number that came over to see her if I really did have a bad feeling about it all, as the neighbor claims she had.

Hambone2421 · 02-16-2010, 10:49 AM

I still don't understand why if the neighbor was so concerned about Megan, why didn't she at the very least, write down the license plate number of the car of the person that was in Megan's apartment. I'm not saying he definitely killed her, but it would make for good questioning of that guy as he would have been the last person that saw her alive. I just wonder how much this neighbor actually worried that night. I'm thinking that maybe she was a little concerned but figured it was no big deal and then after Megan was murdered, she felt a ton of remorse and is acting as though she was overly concerned. I mean, if you think about it (and not trying to be mean toward the victim), there were reports that Megan was promiscuous, so if that was the case, what was so outrageous about her meeting a guy at a bar and having him come up to her place, that would make the neighbor so uneasy? It just doesn't add up to me.
