Cop just chimed in on the Megan 2 rescue thing and said she can't find any info at all.
Posted on 8/28/17 at 9:28 am to jimbeam
If anyone has additional resources, please submit them so I can add to the OP.
Posted on 8/28/17 at 9:28 am to theOG
Megan could possibly be a hoax or a victim of a head injury and also seizures
Posted on 8/28/17 at 9:28 am to theOG
Who here actually heard "Megan" say she lost her 18 month old child?
Posted on 8/28/17 at 9:28 am to Large Farva
I did
Could not find 18 month old - second child wasn't breathing as of about an hour ago

Here. She stated "she's gone it's all my fault"
Posted on 8/28/17 at 9:29 am to Flanders
Damn Shame if it's all fake.

My dad is looking to be a deckhand to help out someone with a boat. He is in Nola. If any of you are heading out today and could use a hand, email me at Mahittamahitta at gmail

Now they're trying to track down the realtor again
Posted on 8/28/17 at 9:31 am to Mr. Hangover
Have they confirmed that the name she has given them is her real name?
Posted on 8/28/17 at 9:31 am to Large Farva
Oh snap....dude dropping knowledge about seizures...
Posted on 8/28/17 at 9:32 am to Large Farva
If the OT hasn't found any info on her, she may not exist.
Posted on 8/28/17 at 9:33 am to CapperVin
Jimmy, you useless lazy frick...
Posted on 8/28/17 at 9:33 am to Large Farva
True, but there's also the alternative of avoiding the loss of life of a woman and two young children
I'm not sure how anyone can pull off a hoax like this.. how could you sit there and listen to all of this with a smile on your face knowing you're locking up all these people who are trying to rescue others who need it?
I'll be honest - I completely bought her story, she sounded genuinely scared and desperate... still could possibly be legit I guess

Zello participants are full of doubt now.

Mentioned folks who suffer from seizures don't remember them.
