In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: It’s no secret that teenagers can be unpredictable, but 15-year-old Megan Nichols was a strong student and active in her church. So it became all the more shocking when she vanished one day, leaving only her cell phone that had been wiped clean and a mysterious note on her bed.
On July 3, 2014, Megan went shopping with her mom, Kathy Jo, but said she wasn’t feeling well, so she went home early while her mom stayed out. That evening, her mom walked into her room to say goodnight, but instead of finding her daughter, she discovered an empty bed.
Megan left a note for Kathy Jo saying she was never going to be happy in their small town of Fairfield, Illinois, and not to look for her because she didn’t want to be found. Her mother immediately called the police, but they could not do much because she had not been gone for long enough.
Kathy Jo checked Megan’s bank accounts and saw she made withdrawals on July 3, the same day she went missing. Surveillance cameras from the ATM caught Megan on video, and that was the last time Megan was seen alive.
Investigators searched for Megan and clues regarding her disappearance, and they came up empty-handed until December 26, 2017. Human remains were discovered on a rural farm in Wayne County, Illinois, and a month later, they were positively identified as Megan.
On October 7, 2020, law enforcement officials in Indiana arrested Brodey Ian Murbarger and charged him with Megan’s death. Brodey and Megan were reportedly in a relationship, and the two supposedly had plans to run away together. Investigators, however, found her blood in his car.
He was convicted of first-degree murder in October 2022, and his attorneys filed a motion for a new trial.
Let’s look back at the case of a teenager whose death rocked her small town.
Poor mother she went 3 years without knowing where her only daughter was !! RIP Meghan. Sending love to her ❤
I always feel intrigued by your crime investigation series. 👍 May Megan rest in peace. 😢
one thing I don't understand with the police rule that you are not long enough gone what if in the short time that someone is gone they can still be save but because these police decided 24 hours or more people died
Waiting for part two.
Unfinished. Not going to click these anymore.
What is this what update 😮
Damn, this is 45 minutes away from me
This isn't cool. Why cut it off in the middle of the story? Wastes everyone's time.
Dear Megan's Mom ❤️
I am so deeply, deeply, DEEPLY sorry for your loss 😔
I too recently lost my 14 year old son. BEAUTIFUL boy, Branson.
I too, am a single Mom.
This hurts like hell and makes life really difficult to navigate through every nanosecond of every day. Even today, even yesterday, I just cry and cry and cry for him. I'm so sorry 😭 💔
No way is this suicide. The police just didn’t bother investigating due to the family being awkward and bashing them on social media. No one kill’s themselves by setting fire to themselves.
I spit on the channel that does this. You think you will attract people to watch another video? Rubbish channel with no respect
Young western girls with hot pants and mothers that want to be bff’s instead of a strong parent
there is not now and never was a law saying that 24 hours has to grind by before the lazy cops have to act.
No part 2? Ughhh lame
For people left hanging n not wanting to wait for pt 2 the description tells the entire story
These Justice Regulations that need 48 hours to start investigating the disappearance of people and often weeks if they are adults, is an outrage because many lives could be saved if it weren't for this Judiciary regulation.
WTF! Where’s the rest of the story??
Love you sweet lady !!!

WTH? Why isn't it complete?
Omg…. Fairfield Ill. Is my father's hometown! It's a very small town with no bars and nothing to do! We lived there for a couple of years as a small child. Thankfully we moved from there and we never had to grow up there ! I many relatives buried there! I would never want to live there it's so boring!
Pray? Your daughter runs away from home and your solution is to pray? Wtf is wrong with these people?
Omg where is the rest?
Have you heard of Fawn Marie Mountain? She's been missing from PA . – her gf took her life.
They need to change that law if your child is missing wait 48 Hours the most important H The First 48 is that true?
How much more can LE neglect a case?Where is part II?
She "had her daughter young" and her ex is a sex offender. Hmm.
Aww mama I'm so sorry 😞
where's the rest of the show though?
Where's the rest?
It's been 3 days…tf u leave us hangin here like this? NOT COOL 🙄😡
Anna I have the most absurd irrelevant question but it bothers me so I need to know the answer! Is the framed art you have, displaying what I believe is a bird supposed to be on the floor displayed as such or is it something you are meaning to hang and haven't gotten around to it yet? I'm going to assume it's ment to be displayed on the floor leaning against the wall! I assume this because it's been there for quite some time much too long for it to be something you're meaning to hang up and forgot, but hey, ya never know unless ya ask!
For real!!! Guess I will go to another site.
Well this video has no ending… sigh, why bother uploading half the story?
That's it?
This is some BS..💩
Just don't even waste your time on just HALF of a story.. Wtf is the point?
To forget about it..?..to waste more of my time later after I've forgotten about it, or is it just CLICK BAIT BS?.
Get it TF together…😐🤦♀️
