Update: Deceased female found, Boulder Canyon

Posted

BOULDER COUNTY -  The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the death of 18-year-old Megan Trussell, who was found deceased near the 40-mile-marker of Boulder Canyon Drive on February 15, 2025, after being reported missing to the CU-Boulder Police Department on February 12, 2025.

Megan’s purse was recently recovered; however, we will not be releasing additional details about the purse (location, contents, etc.) as this is still an ongoing investigation.  

Although the cause and manner of death has yet to be determined by the Boulder County Coroner’s Office, we still have no reason to believe that there is, or was, a threat to the community.

The incident has been documented under Boulder County Sheriff’s Office case report #25-00778.
