The Megan Meier MySpace Suicide Story is Back in the News
An LA Federal Grand Jury Has Handed Down Subpoenas
Reaction, as Expected, Is Quickly Heating Up in the Media and Internet
Does Lori Drew’s Attorney, Jim Briscoe, Have any Reaction to the Latest Development?
The Megan Meier MySpace Suicide story is heating back up again.
This time, it’s fueled by subpoenas issued by a Los Angeles grand jury in the case and an appearance on Dr. Phil by Tina Meier and others.
The Megan Meier story, as anyone who’s covered it knows, has had more twists and turns than a TV movie.
For a list of over 40 stories and videos by DBKP on the story since it broke on the Internet, see the Megan Meier MySpace Suicide Library. It begins with the first retelling of the original story by Steve Pokin, of the Suburban Journals until present day.
It follows the story of Megan Meier, her parents, Ron and Tina Meier, their neighbor, Lori Drew, the statements by Drew and her attorney, Jim Briscoe and others.
It also details the creation of the “Megan Had it Coming” blog, supposedly a creation of Drew, but in reality, the clever device of an Internet “troll”.
It’s last story was one chronicling the ‘Increasing Victimization of Lori Drew’ in the Mainstream Media.
NOT included is DBKP’s last conversation with Drew’s attorney, Jim Briscoe. That story was slated to go out with some other updates later this week.
Current events have caught up with us, however. That article will be coming out later today now.
Back to the subpoenas. From the LA Times:
In a novel approach, prosecutors are looking at charging a woman who posed as a boy and sent cruel messages to teen with defrauding MySpace.
A federal grand jury in Los Angeles has begun issuing subpoenas in the case of a Missouri teenager who hanged herself after being rejected by the person she thought was a 16-year-old boy she met on MySpace, sources told The Times.
What are some of the latest reactions?

So it doesnt seem right that she can go online posing as a 13 year old boy and develop a relationship with a neighbor only to manipulate and hurt her and toy with her emotions and there be no repercussions on her end? This is sad I agree with Mr. Meier when he says Lori brought her to the cliff and gave her the nudge to send her over. Lori had to know what she was doing was way over the line, you don’t pick on a teenager girl and toy with her mentally pretending to be a interested boy only to crush her especially if you know the background of the child and have taken her on family trips knowing she has emotional issues and is on MEDICATION! She had to know that this was not going to end pretty and ineviditably got what she wanted whether she truley wanted it or not and that is sad. Kids will be kids and they will find there way but when an adult steps in and does the things she doesnt creates a fake person, creates a false sense of hope and a relationship that a teen has been dying for an throws it back in her face… Lori Drew may not recieve any jail time but it is my hope that she spends the rest of her days in a public and mental HELL living with what she has done.
