Neighbor Indicted In MySpace Suicide Case:
In case you haven’t heard by now Lori Drew has been federally indicted in the suicide death of Megan Meier. For those of you that have been living under the proverbial rock for the past year Drew created a fake MySpace of a teenage boy in order to humiliate the 16-year-old Meier. Drew had someone create the fake profile of a ‘Josh Evans’ in which the non-existent Evans took a liking to Megan. When Evans revealed himself to be a fake and told Megan that the world would be better off without her Megan Meier committed suicide. It was later revealed that the whole plot was masterminded by the 49-year-old Lori Drew whose daughter Megan Meier was allegedly feuding with.
Originally Missouri prosecutors had said that no charges could be filed against Drew. However federal prosecutors in California, where MySpace is headquartered, handed down an indictment against Drew on charges of fraud and conspiracy.
When Drew is arraigned in June she will be transported from Missouri to L.A.
Drew is looking at 20 years behind bars.
