On the night of February 9, 2025, 18-year-old Megan Trussell was last seen walking across the

CU Boulder campus. It was cold and she wasn't

And we asked everybody in that room, do you want us to cover this on Crime Weekly in a deep dive?

And it was a pretty unanimous decision that they did.

And I agree because this case needs more attention to it. And it

needs to be reopened, reinvestigated, and looked at again by a fresh set of eyes, hopefully.

Agreed. Yeah, I'm frustrated by this case. Yeah. After reviewing it, looking into it, I don't see how you
