Wow. Reading this was weird. I guess it felt different because Medium is a platform I feel at home on, it's somehow more personal here than reading it in other news. I originally saw this on another platform, and seeing random strangers in the comments shaming her for going hiking as though "it's not safe" was fucking gross. Also, to the author, this isn't true crime. The police have said repeatedly there is no evidence of a crime. If you found your way here and want to honor Meg, read some of her words: https://scheerpost.com/2021/12/24/goodbye-to-all-that-and-a-whole-lot-more/
