True Crime Story: The Disappearance of Evelyn Boswell

from Matter of Fact: A play on "matter" (physics) and "facts" (news). · host Larry White

Megan Boswell was convicted of first-degree murder after her 15-month-old daughter, Evelyn, went missing in late 2019 and was later found deceased, hidden inside a trash can in a playhouse on the family's property. Throughout the investigation, Megan lied repeatedly to authorities, concocting various stories to blame others for the disappearance while forensic evidence ultimately proved she had asphyxiated the child and concealed the body. In 2025, she was sentenced to life in prison plus an additional 33 years for her numerous deceptions, a consecutive term that ensures she will not be eligible for release until the age of 102.
