Mentally she was older than her actual age…

That was true, I remember hanging out with her in Biology freshman year. She was odd, I’ll give you that, but that “odd-ness” made her beautiful. She was different and she was an amazing friend. Justice needs to be served, people deserve to know what really happened. Gah, I miss her so much. I miss you darling.

Lizzard, you do not have to believe in God for Meghans sake. She always believed that there is a higher power but what that is she wasn’t sure. I do believe in God and also believe that people come into your life for certain reasons. I try to hang onto the fact that she had touched my life for a short time and that she taught me to love kids that are not mine by blood. She was a very unique person. I have alot of grief in my life right now and I hope that something is done about her crime.
If there is anything else I will be more than happy to keep posting. As I said before, she was unique and loved by this family.

Dragonsmom, thank you for posting again. My heart has been broken for Meghan since I first read about her, and in some ways, my heart is even more broken now that you have shared with us what she was like in life. It is even more horrible to me now that she has been taken away.

I offer my condolences to the family–I know how hard it must be that Jonathan is gone–but as I said before, there seems to be plenty of love…and grief…related to his life and his passing. I feel confident that he left this world surrounded by people he loved (or by people who loved him). Unfortunately, I also feel confident that Meghan left this world in a very different manner, a way that would have horrified Jonathan had he been here (and thank goodness he is not).

I don’t know what it is about Meghan that strikes me so personally, but something does. I am enraged at her senseless death. I am furious that she was left as she was, for so long, alone, her body slowly working its way toward becoming one with the soil on which she lay. I grieve that something drove her far from those who could protect her, and now she is gone forever.

And there’s not one fucking thing that my horror, my rage, my fury, or my grief can do to change it. I don’t believe in God, dragonsmom, but for Meghan’s sake, I wish I did.

Dragonsmom – Sounds like she was a lovely young lady. I wish that they would find the thug(s) that did this to her. She deserves justice so that she can be at peace. *sigh*

I am sorry about the change in the screennames but the site would not allow me to sign in using the new password. I just added a number but it is still me. I was not trying to come off as being mean or trying to get Jonathan in this for him. It is just that he loved her like she grew up along side of him. It was a special unconditional love that someone would have for a special brother or sister.
Mentally she was older than her actual age. I remember her playing with her barbies and she would strip one down so that her baby brother could play too.(no choking hazzards for a 2 year old) She could get the boys to play the ken counter parts as long as they got the car. She had an infectious laugh that would reach out and grab you and would brighten your day so much that you just had to laugh. If you were having a dark and dreery bad day, she could always get you to smile. There were plenty days that I would call her, or wait to hear her voice because I always knew she would brighten it up.
She was a fighter for things that she believed in. I think it was bred into her genes cuz all the kids are like that. She loved animals and had a cat in CA named Kronik. I don’t know how she done it but she also had a pet rat.(yuck) But that was the type of person she was. She never hated anyone. She could forgive but she would never forget.
She was self taught on cosmetology and web design. She loved doing hair and make-up. She couldn’t wait to turn 18. She was gonna get a car and get a good job so she could travel on her vacations. She loved kids. She always babysat and was very good at it. She never had the chance to meet her 6 year old sister or to see how 2 of her brothers were growing up and 1 turning into a descent young man. She never had the chance to finish growing up and having a child of her own. She was just coming into her own way of thinking and breaking away from the “in” crowd. Her wish list from her myspace was part of the “in” crowd.
Meghan loved Tinkerbell. She had a blanket that she took wherever she went. She also had a necklace of Tinkerbell. I miss her very much. I keep expecting the phone to ring and her telling me about the things that she done that day. by the way, I told her that I loved her.
I only hope that she found the answers that she was looking for. She was in search for answers and that is why she went to Florida. I wish that she never would have gone to that state. I would have taken her place in that wooded area, I loved her that much. She coul’ve done anything with her life. She was very smart and had the looks.
I despise the person that done this horrific crime to her. I hope that she is at peace and that someone out there discovers the truth and the person responsible for her death gets what punishment they deserve. She deserves justice and I want that for her.

I have this right and I am gonna say this, I am glad that Jonathan is not here to see everything that is wrote about his lovely sister. She made mistakes in the past and he forgave her because he loved her. They both made plans and Iâ€™m sure they are hanging out in HEAVEN right now. Lets see what gets posted now. Maybe I have answered some of your questions or thoughts.

Yeah, let’s see what gets posted here, shall we? Everything I’ve read about Jonathan suggests he knew full well, right up until the day that he died, that people LOVED him. They would do ANYTHING for him. Did Meghan know that? Was there any person in her life who would’ve traded places with her to wind up being the body in the standing water so she could go on to live up to her potential? Because I sure as fuck don’t see any indication of that. This isn’t an attack on the stepmother, who is the only one who seems to have shown caring for this girl. I don’t know who the fuck you are, but don’t come on here telling us about Jonathan–who does deserve EVERY tear of grief shed for the loss of his short life due to illness–when Meghan was murdered, her body lying alone, decomposing, undiscovered for days, and there’s no indication that the police have any idea who did this to her. I’m sorry, but it seems to me that if Jonathan were here, he would be more saddened by the fact that his lovely sister–and she was such a beautiful girl–has no one standing up for her, screaming for justice, demanding that her killer be found and brought before a court of law.

Dragonsmom, I am not angry at you. I am angry that Meghan is dead, that Meghan surely died horribly, and that with the exception of strangers such as those of on this site whose hearts break upon reading of the circumstances of her life and her demise, there really don’t seem to be many people who give a fuck. If you choose to return, please tell us about the real Meghan and the Meghan who could’ve been–if only someone hadn’t chosen to leave her naked and dead in a forested area far, far from home.

Thank you, DragonsMom. I am so sorry that this young girl did not get a chance to live out her life. So young to be gone. As you say, at least she and her brother did not have to suffer the knowledge of each other’s deaths. I hope that you can find some comfort, though I know such a wish is just a gesture in face of what you are suffering. RIP both young people and may Meghan’s killer be brought to justice very soon.

dragonsmom – Comments left by the members are not to be mean or hurtful. I’m sorry that you took them that way. I read them all back and didn’t see anything more than pure speculation. Most of all concern for a young, beautiful girl who was living a life that ultimately lead to her murder. Thanks for posting and bringing some light to ths situation.

RIP Meghan

I have read all the comments that have been left about Meghan and some of them just sicken me. So here I am writing this to answer some of the thoughts that you have about her.
Reesesmom couldn’t be farther from the truth. She was NOT turning tricks. She was a little confused and trying to get her life together. Yes, she loved ICP. She was a cutter a while ago. The last time she was on her Myspace account was 10-3-08. That was also the day that she left for Florida. If any of you had been through what she had in her short 17 years, you would be confused as well.
As for the boyfriend of the step-mom, he didn’t know her that well. He had a few short talks when she called her step-mom but that was it. She was gonna go to spend time with her brother Jon.
This is indeed a tradgedy and her family live with the loss everyday. Her step-mom was told that a missing person report was filed by her mother but we don’t know. The adler person thatis referred to as being her sister is not biologically her sister. Meghan has 2 sisters and 5 brothers. Her younger but oldest brother passed away in Pittsburgh Childrens under care. He fought a long hard fight and did not survive his life long illness. I have this right and I am gonna say this, I am glad that Jonathan is not here to see everything that is wrote about his lovely sister. She made mistakes in the past and he forgave her because he loved her. They both made plans and I’m sure they are hanging out in HEAVEN right now. Lets see what gets posted now. Maybe I have answered some of your questions or thoughts.

As an ex-runaway, let me explain that the parents are not to blame when their teenager goes bonkers and decides to split. I ran away from home (a lovely Leave-It-To-Beaver home), and went to CA. with a friend of mine who was being sexually abused by her dad. I was going whether she went or not, it was all my idea.

I was gone for over 2 months, my parents went crazy trying to find me. But truthfully, I was close to 18 years old, and if I hadn’t come home when I did, they probably would have stopped their search eventually. I don’t mean that they wouldn’t keep hoping and waiting for me to come home, but they did everything they could in that first month, and none of it worked. I literally droppped off the face of the earth. I paid cash for what we bought, we relied on the kindness of strangers, and we were lucky enough to not be raped or killed, but life on the road wore on us, and she actually decided being molested by her dad was better than trying to live on the streets being nasty and dirty. But there is a whole unconventional support system out there for runaways. They stick together, they help each other out, and unfortunately, they turn each other on to drugs and selling sex. We didn’t want that, so we went home.

More than likely, Megan was turning tricks, and got killed for doing it. I know what you guys are going to say… she’s too pretty, it’s her family’s fault, whatever. I’ve been there. If you are stuck somewhere cold and hungry and your dad’s evidently in jail, and mom’s not available, you are going to do what it takes to survive. Also, her step-brother may have had a terminal disease. Another reason to leave home if you happen to be the black-sheep of the family. Get out of the way and let them focus on him. As a teen you don’t realize that this makes things worse.

Sorry to ramble on, but this story brought back many memories for me.

Thatâ€™s the same thing that got to me watching her counter since her birthday.. after watching it click off seconds for a few moments, I wondered how long it will keep on counting days since her birthday and I just burst into tears. I dont know why certain things hit me like that.

I think for me it’s the finality of it and your right when will it stop? It is very sad so I think it’s normal that you would get upset over it, I did

I’m sure they just needed a date and picked one. It’s possible the family was give a date like “more than 5 days but less than 2 weeks”. While they cannot give an exact date, science is good enough to give a range.

WTF indeed, Zibarro, Everything I was able to find, they couldn’t tell when she had died, just that it was sometime at least a week previous to when she was found. excellent catch, i swear i hope someone in law enforcement catches the same thing.

There is a “Memorial” Myspace set up here:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=431085308

Interestingly enough —- it says this:

Meghan Elizabeth Mae Runkle she passed away on oct 29

Uh……. I distinctly remembered THIS from the article:

When her remains were found she was in such an advanced state of decomposition, it was impossible to pinpoint her time, or even date of death.

WTF???
