0:00.0	I'm I'm In today's episode of Crawl Space, we are replaying two episodes from our other podcast missing about the mysterious death of Megan Piper Trussell from February 15th, 2025 in Boulder Canyon, Colorado. And we speak with Megan's parents, Vanessa and Joe. Lance, what do you think of this conversation? I mean, it's one of the hardest conversations that we've had on the show. Vanessa and Joe. Lance, what do you think of this conversation?
0:57.2	I mean, it's one of the hardest conversations that we've had on the show.
1:01.0	Vanessa and Joe are absolutely determined to find out what happened to their daughter.
1:01.8	They want justice.
1:02.7	They want some answers.

1:47.7	And what I really liked the most about this conversation was how they described Megan,
1:55.1	how they described the relationship that both of them had with her, the type of person that she was,
2:00.0	and the possible future that she might have had. I, the type of person that she was, and the possible future
2:02.5	that she might have had. I thought that that was really inspirational.
2:05.7	Okay, we're going to break quick for commercial here.
2:07.6	Please follow us on social media at crawlspace podcast or crawlspace pod.
2:12.5	Thanks a lot for listening. We're being joined by Vanessa Diaz.
2:28.3	We are being joined by Vanessa.
