    The Suspicious Death of Megan Trussell | Part One

    The Suspicious Death of Megan Trussell // Part One



    On February 9, 2025, 18-year-old University of Colorado Boulder freshman Megan Trussell vanished after leaving her dorm following a tense argument with her roommate on Super Bowl Sunday, wearing only a light jacket as temperatures dropped into the 20s. Six days later, Megan’s body was discovered miles away in a hidden culvert in Boulder Canyon—an area she was unfamiliar with—yet her death was quickly ruled a suicide despite missing clothing, unexplained injuries, and conflicting cell phone data.

    In this episode of Weird True Crime, we walk through Megan’s life, her close relationship with her parents, and the bright future she was building as a film student before everything abruptly stopped. We examine the troubling gaps in the missing persons response, the delayed search, and inconsistencies between campus police, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, and the FBI.

    Megan’s parents, Vanessa Diaz and Joseph Trussell, share painful details about the investigation, the autopsy report, and why they believe the suicide ruling does not match the evidence.

    From unexplained bruising and missing personal items to unanswered questions about search efforts and phone pings, this case raises serious concerns about accountability and transparency. This is Part One of Megan Trussell’s story.

  • Wicked Wednesday Presents Urban Legends: Slenderman

    Wicked Wednesday Presents Urban Legends: Slenderman
    Oct 29 2025
    He’s tall. He’s faceless. He lurks in the woods, on playgrounds, and in the corners of blurry photographs. Slenderman isn’t just another urban legend—he’s the internet’s first viral monster.

    In this episode, Amber and Gina uncover the eerie origins of Slenderman. From his 2009 birth on the Something Awful forums to his rapid spread across creepypasta sites, YouTube series like Marble Hornets, and viral games like Slender: The Eight Pages, Slenderman became the perfect modern boogeyman.

    But the story didn’t stay online. In 2014, two 12-year-old girls in Wisconsin lured their friend into the woods and stabbed her 19 times, claiming they did it to appease Slenderman. The victim survived, but the case shocked the world and forced everyone to reckon with the power of online folklore.

  • Wicked Wednesday Presents Urban Legends: Humans Can Lick, Too

    Wicked Wednesday Presents Urban Legends: Humans Can Lick, Too
    Oct 22 2025
    It’s one of the simplest but most unsettling urban legends ever told: a girl comforts herself at night by letting her dog lick her hand—only to find out in the morning that her dog is dead, and the intruder has left a message scrawled on the mirror: “Humans can lick too.”

    In this episode, Amber and Gina dive deep into the chilling urban legend known as The Licked Hand (or Humans Can Lick Too). With an extended campfire-style narration, sarcastic commentary, and true crime context, they explore why this story continues to haunt us. From home invasion cases like Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, to unsolved intruder murders, the legend reflects very real fears about safety inside our own homes.

  • Wicked Wednesday Presents Urban Legends: The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs

    Wicked Wednesday Presents Urban Legends: The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs
    Oct 15 2025
    “Have you checked the children?” That single question has haunted sleepovers, campfires, and horror movies for decades. On this Wicked Wednesday, Amber and Gina unravel the terrifying urban legend of The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs.

    You know the story: a teenage babysitter alone in a house, creepy phone calls, and the shocking twist that the calls are coming from inside the house. But what if this wasn’t just a campfire tale?

    In this episode, we explore the chilling real-life murder of Janett Christman, a 13-year-old babysitter brutally killed in Columbia, Missouri in 1950. Her unsolved case bears an eerie resemblance to the legend and may have inspired its spread. From true crime origins to Hollywood adaptations like When a Stranger Calls and Scream, we break down why this story continues to terrify generations. Expect creepy narration, sarcastic commentary, and a shallow dive into the folklore that turned one babysitter’s nightmare into horror legend.
