When did MB move into that trailer? Am I right that it was only like 4 months? Took her 4 months to trash it? Even animals know not to pi** in their own pots. Foul.
I am ill thinking of a 13-14 month old baby, sitting in a soaked diaper, with a raw diaper rash, baby poop all they way up her back, probably in a baby swing, for hours on end, maybe even days on end.
I wouldn't entrust the care and keeping of a pencil to MB.
i can't wait until I forget her name.

It's horrendous and utterly gut wrenching.
The only thing that ever makes me feel better about these cases is when I know the perp is rotting in prison.

Defense must be getting paid by the question.

The Megan Boswell Trial
Posted: Feb 11, 2025 / 08:53 AM EST
Updated: Feb 11, 2025 / 03:27 PM EST
LIVE: TRIAL UPDATE - 1 OF 2 - AM
Tuesday marks the sixth day jurors will have spent in the courtroom weighing Megan Boswell’s fate.
Wilhoit spoke with Boswell late on Feb. 23, 2020 at the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO). Wilhoit said he began talking with Boswell outside when she began speaking with him about Evelyn. He asked her to go into the sheriff’s office so he could collect a statement from her in the lobby.
Wilhoit said he took an audio recording of the interview, which ended shortly after midnight on Feb. 24, 2020. Wilhoit also took his own notes.
The recording was entered into evidence and played for the jury at the request of Deputy District Attorney William Harper.
In Wilhoit’s interview, Boswell told him her mother, Angela Boswell, came to pick up Evelyn to take her camping with her and her boyfriend in Mendota between Dec. 14-16, 2019. According to Boswell, she had asked Angela to watch Evelyn so she could have a break. Boswell told Wilhoit that she packed up a basket of items for Evelyn, and she handed the child off at her former trailer home.
Boswell claimed she was supposed to get Evelyn back the next day, but Angela told her the next day that she was a “bad mom” who did not deserve Evelyn. According to Boswell, Angela told her that Evelyn was with someone who would take better care of her and give her a better life.
Boswell said Angela told her she and her boyfriend were going camping in Mendota, and she encouraged Wilhoit to look in that area.
“I’m not saying this isn’t feasible, but I’m confident that you know more than what you said to me,” Wilhoit told Boswell after she asked him if he thought she was a bad mother.
Wilhoit later expressed disbelief about parts of Boswell’s story, but she continued to tell him that Angela had given Evelyn to someone else. However, she told Wilhoit that Angela never told her who Evelyn was with.
Wilhoit asked why she had not told this story before, and Boswell said she did not know if Evelyn wanted to be with her because people told her she was a bad mom.
In the recording, Wilhoit asked if Evelyn was alive. Boswell told him yes and that her best guess was that the child was around Mendota.
He repeatedly encouraged her to tell the truth and said there would be no reason for her to not share the full story before. Despite her claims that she was being honest, Wilhoit reminded her that she had claimed to tell other investigators the whole truth before.
Boswell asked him about the possibility of Angela trying to tell someone that Evelyn could be adopted, but Wilhoit said Angela would not have the ability to give her up for adoption.
Wilhoit read her statement back to her to get approval and review her claims. After the recording ended, Harper asked Wilhoit to identify a document. Wilhoit identified it as a copy of the statement with Boswell’s signature and his own. The statement was entered into evidence.
Harper asked if there was ever any evidence that Evelyn had been given to someone around Mendota. Wilhoit said there was no evidence to suggest that claim that he was aware of.
Boswell’s attorney Gene Scott asked Wilhoit if he knew how long Boswell had been at the sheriff’s office before their interview, which he did not. Wilhoit said he was aware of previous interviews, but he was not present for them.
Wilhoit also told Scott that he did not know of any time that a phone provided to Boswell by authorities would have been used to track her.
Wilhoit stepped down from the stand with no further questions from either side.
Durant told Assistant District Attorney Amber Massengill that he was assigned to the Evelyn Boswell case in February 2020. Part of his role was reviewing interviews, notes, digital devices and other documentation to assist in finding Evelyn.
Durant also told Massengill that the FBI uses forensic software to extract information from items like phones tied to investigations. At Massengill’s behest, he explained various ways in which the FBI obtains information from devices tied to cases.
Massengill asked Judge Jim Goodwin that Durant be qualified as an expert in digital forensics analysis in the court’s eyes. Scott requested to ask his own questions of Durant before he was qualified as an expert.
Scott asked Durant to describe any training courses in digital forensics that he had undergone, which Durant supplied.
The legal teams approached Goodwin’s bench to discuss Durant’s potential expert status. Goodwin asked him how many devices he had performed extractions on. Durant said he had extracted information and evidence from roughly 30 cell phones and 20 computers.
Goodwin ruled that Durant would be considered an expert in digital forensics analysis.
Massengill asked him multiple questions about how information is extracted and how much can be obtained for law enforcement through legal processes. Durant said he has also performed extractions from social media accounts with search warrants.
In the Boswell case, Durant extracted information from two cell phones and executed social media search warrant proceeds from Boswell’s Instagram and Facebook accounts.
Goodwin sent the jury from the courtroom before Durant’s testimony continued. Scott objected to the submission of some evidence the state hoped to present in Durant’s testimony. Massengill argued against him and provided Goodwin with a legal precedent.
Goodwin noted that Scott was correct in some respects but ultimately overruled his objection. The court then entered a brief recess.
Durant first reviewed a Dec. 8, 2019 conversation over Facebook between Boswell and Haley Sperow. He then identified two more Facebook conversations on Dec. 18 and 27, 2019 between Boswell and another woman.
In the later messages, Boswell tells the woman that she is struggling to pay her for something due to an ongoing custody battle with Evelyn’s father.
In a Jan. 13, 2020 conversation with Ashley Rosenbalm, Boswell claimed she lost custody of Evelyn to Ethan Perry, who was previously thought to be Evelyn’s father.
In a Jan. 26, 2020 conversation with Christopher Hall, Boswell told Hall that Evelyn is doing good but is “mean as [expletive]” and claims Evelyn hates her.
Boswell messaged another person on Feb. 18, 2020 saying that Perry would not let her pick up Evelyn. She also admonished the recipient saying Boswell’s family’s life is not her business and sent her a picture. The picture featured Boswell and Evelyn, and Boswell claimed it was taken the previous weekend.
However, Durant said he reviewed data and information and was able to determine that the photo had actually been sent by Boswell to Perry on Nov. 30, 2019.
A Feb. 22, 2020 Facebook conversation begins with someone messaging Boswell saying she was praying for her and encouraging her to be honest about whatever happened with Evelyn. Boswell responded and claimed she was being “100 percent honest” about the situation.
Durant also identified a conversation on Dec. 27, 2019 between Boswell and her former boyfriend Hunter Wood. Boswell messages Wood telling him to text her again because of a phone swap. She also describes to Wood a situation with Perry in which she told Wood that Evelyn would stay with Perry.
Another Facebook conversation involving Boswell and Wood occurred on Feb. 19, 2020, in which Boswell messaged him that she was not sure why he was mad at her. She told him that she loved him and was pregnant with his child. She also asked him for a place to stay. At no point in the conversation shown to the jury did Wood respond.
Durant identified another conversation on Feb. 22, 2020 between Boswell and Wood. In it, she asked him to bring her a change of clothes and told him the TBI was searching for Angela in North Carolina. In the messages, Wood responded a few times and asked Boswell to assure him that Evelyn was safe and would come home.
Boswell then sent a long series of messages and brought up Mendota. She asked him to take her there, to which Wood told her to have someone else take her. Boswell brought up a place in the area where her mother was previously arrested, but Wood asked what that had to do with Evelyn.
As the conversation continued, Wood asked for an update, and Boswell claimed she had learned that Angela left Evelyn somewhere. She began to tell him that if he did not help her search in Mendota, she would steal a car to go look. Afterward, as part of a long stretch of messages, Boswell told Wood that the TBI had a development in the search.
After the legal teams approached Goodwin, he sent the jury to lunch, and the court entered a recess until 1:15 p.m.

Megan Boswell Trial Day 6 | Crime lab experts testify
On Monday, the jury watched three different interviews with investigators who were investigating Evelyn's disappearance.
www.wbir.com
2/11/25
The first messages were from December 2019 where she tells a friend's Evelyn's "father" (Ethan Perry) took Evelyn and said they were in a custody fight. On Jan. 13, she tells a friend she lost custody of Evelyn to Perry, claiming he gave her the wrong court date and she showed up at the wrong time. Megan told this friend she hadn't told anyone else what was going on.
On Feb. 18, Megan tells someone Perry wouldn't let her pick Evelyn up and they had court the next morning. She sends this person a photo of Evelyn from when she "saw her last weekend."
Durant testified he was able to determine that photo was from November 2019 because Megan had previously sent it to someone else at that time.
Next they start going over messages Megan sent to her boyfriend at the time, Hunter Wood.
On Dec. 27, 2019, Megan told Wood that Ethan has the baby and she didn't want to bring Evelyn home because "they're not a stable pair right now."
On Feb. 19, 2020, Megan messages Wood over and over again saying she has not clue why he's mad at her and that she's been waiting on her mom for a long tim.
Megan also casually mentions, "I'm also pregnant with your child" so he should allow her to sleep in his truck. Wood never answers

Position in the trash can, blanket covering her face, the trash bag -- all could account for asphyxiation.

What? That's it? No more State questions????
Homicidal violence? where was thev evidence of injury? Just the positional aspecr? Certainly horrid enough. But were there other injuries? Or is the violence that she was placed upside down in a trash can in a trash bag alive?

No medical findings for natural causes.
[There it is. Being upside down likely caused her death, though age can't say for certain.]
