Local Authorities Open Investigation in Blog
Drew Claims It’s Not HerÂ
Drew’s Attorney Can’t be Reached for Comment
It’s been confirmed that the authorities are investigating the “Megan Had It Coming” Blog.
Local authorities have finally taken notice of the blog, which appeared on the Sunday when the Megan Meier story was reaching most of the nation.
The blogger then claimed to be “Kristen”, a friend of Megan Meier.
Two days ago, the blogger posted “I’m Lori Drew”.
Now authorities will try to determine if it is either or both or someone else.
It’s a new twist in the story of the internet hoax that ended in a tragic teen suicide. A new investigation is being launched in connection with the October 2006 death of 13 year old Megan Meier’s of Dardenne Prairie in St. Charles County.
The sheriff and the prosecutor have confirmed they’re now looking into a blog site which recounts in great detail the entire Megan Meier saga. St. Charles County prosecutor, Jack Banas, is calling on the department’s “cyber” crimes investigators to find out who’s behind the site; the very title of which may offend you: “Megan Had It Coming”. The title is followed by the statement, “I’m Lori Drew.”
Drew’s attorney, Jim Briscoe, did not respond to Fox 2’s attempts to reach him for comment on the story.
But Drew’s family did; her father telling Fox 2, Drew had nothing to do with the blog; the family welcomed the investigation.
Authorities say Meier’s former neighbor, Lori Drew, Drew’s daughter, and Drew’s 18 year old employee, concocted a MySpace web page, under the name of a make-believe 16 year old boy, who befriended Megan on-line.
Authorities say the purposed of the hoax was to find out if Megan was saying things about Drew’s daughter, a former friend of Megan’s. Megan’s mother also welcomes the investigation into the “Megan Had It Coming” blog site.
“That would be great,” said Tina Meier. “I think hopefully it would make a stand … we can post that we are anybody in this world. We can say we are anybody. We can act as anybody, and it’s ok. It’s just absolutely ok. You can absolutely ruin somebody’s lives.”
As in the case of Megan. Authorities say she hanged herself after receiving a final message from the make-believe boy; a message which said the world would be better off without her.
The blog was first put up in November 18th at 1:01 PM with the first post entitled “Set The Record Straight.”
In the post the person claimed to be using a fake name, that of “Kristen.” They claimed to be a former classmate of Megan’s.
There have been three posts on the “Megan Had it Coming” Blog. The first on November 18, when the story was first sweeping across the country.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a Trackbackthe words you use have power. adults have the ability to persuade children with their words. this fact must have responsibility attached to it.
the complete wastes of dna who helped steer this girl towards self destruction should be held culpable. didnt hillary say it takes a village?
personally i think she can get stuffed, but it there is no denying the influence adults have on children. this can be positive, or it can be negative, but it will be one or the other.
this is the most despicable story i’ve heard so far. just when i think a new level of disgust couldn’t be acheived….
after reading about megans story . i believe it is very schocking and rude for the local autorities to post such a title about her story.i belive that the mother had no intend to cause such a horrible thing.but then again she had no obligitation or reason to get into a teenagers life or problems .even if it was her own daughter being put down for a friendship. that is simply something you just let them work out. it wasnt up to her to fix anything.
i think that she got into drama of teenage girls that she should have kept her mouth shut.
If she doesnt get put in jail for life then thats wrong.
Yeah i would agree with the girl she is fat
and she was just calling it how she saw it.
She should have been an adult
It is not Megan’s fault. Lori Drew was in the wrong for posing as Josh and it wasnt her fault.
Reading this story has disgusted me. I can’t percieve how the “adult” who sent these messages to Megan can live w/ herself. I myself, have serious problems w/ my health, depression, suicidal desires & past attempts. I KNOW how just one word, phrase, or even look can send u off the deep end. I extend my regards and sorrow 2 Megans’ parents. Their story has made me think twice about my thoughts and actions. It’s horrendous how it takes a story such as this to help some 1, but u have helped ME in some ways. I have so much more to say & would luv 2 talk to Megans’ parents about my story, but it’s too long and detailed 2 write about here. Thank u 4 putting ur story out there. People, ESPECIALLY TEENS, NEED 2 THINK TWICE B4 THEY SPEAK OR WRITE. Those r the type of people that, w/ their cruel comments & actions, not cause-but lead 2 these horrid inncidents,& they really need 2 look down inside themselves 2 understand & correct THEIR behavior patterns. I don’t care what they have been put through, they need 2 examine why they have 2 put others down 2 make themselves feel better-FIX IT, MOVE ON W/ UR OWN LIFE & GROW UP! My condolences. JESSY
