Woman indicted (FEDERAL) in Missouri MySpace suicide case.
Very glad to see this.

A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted a Missouri woman for her alleged role in perpetrating a MySpace online hoax on a 13-year-old neighbor girl who committed suicide.

Lori Drew of suburban St. Louis was charged with one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress on the girl.

Drew allegedly helped create a false-identity MySpace account to contact Megan Meier, who thought she was chatting with a 16-year-old boy named "Josh Evans."

Megan hanged herself at home in October 2006 after receiving cruel messages, including one stating the world would be better off without her.

2. How old is Lori Drew?
What kind of twisted monster gets her kicks doing this to a little kid?

Lock her up and throw away the key.

3. She's 49
She was "bonding" with her teenage daughter and some of her daughter's friends in the shunning and punishing of Megan, who had fallen out of favor of the cliche...both families lived on the same street and knew each other.
