Lori Drew, the 49 year old mother who perpetrated the MySpace hoax that lead to Megan Meir's suicide has been indicted on fraud and conspiracy charges for her role in the hoax.
According to prosecutors, Drew created a fake MySpace page as a ruse to determine whether Megan Meier, 13, was making derogatory remarks about her daughter, with whom Neier was feuding.
According to the indictment says that that Drew posed as a 16 year old boy who liked Meier. After leading Meier on for a length of time,Drew, still acting as the teenage suitor told Meier the world would be better without her.
Later that day, Meier hung herself in a closet at her family's O'Fallon,Missouri home. When Drew learned of the suicide, the indictment charges, she caused the fake MySpace page to be deleted and directed a juvenile who knew of the hoax to "keep her mouth shut."
