Family of Megan Trussell Offering Reward for Information
The family of Megan Trussell, a University of Colorado Boulder student who tragically passed away in Boulder Canyon in February, is taking proactive steps to seek answers by offering a $1,000 reward for any tips leading to information about her death.
Megan, 18, was discovered on February 15 in a remote area near the 40-mile marker of Boulder Canyon Drive, just west of Cañon Park Drive. The Boulder County Coroner’s Office later determined her cause of death as suicide, with amphetamine toxicity and exposure to cold temperatures contributing to the tragic event.
Despite the official ruling, Megan’s mother, Vanessa Diaz, maintains her belief that her daughter did not take her own life. In an effort to shed light on the case, the family announced plans to distribute 50 packages containing essential items and information about Megan’s story to the local unhoused community.
The goal of this initiative is to raise awareness about Megan’s case and potentially uncover new leads that could bring closure to her loved ones. The family believes that individuals within the unhoused community may hold valuable information regarding Megan’s final days.
While the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, which conducted the investigation, has not commented on the family’s efforts, Megan’s family remains determined to seek the truth. The essential items for the packages were generously donated by supporters through an Amazon wish list.
These packages will be distributed in early July, with the hope that they will spark conversations and lead to valuable tips that could provide answers about Megan’s passing. The family is grateful for the outpouring of support and remains committed to seeking justice for Megan.
