Lori Drew And The MySpace Suicide
The indictment of Lori Drew in the MySpace suicide case brings a small sense of satisfaction to Richmond-area blogger Sarah Wells.Wells is credited with being the first person to identify Lori Drew publicly as the person allegedly responsible for creating a fake MySpace account from which cruel messages were sent to Megan Meier, 13, of suburban St. Louis.Though Megan killed herself in October 2006, allegedly in response to the messages, the case didn’t become public until an article was published in the St. Louis-area Suburban Journals newspapers on Nov. 11, 2007. Wells posted Drew’s name Nov. 13 on her blog, bluemerle.blogspot.com.
