Body matching missing CU Boulder student Megan Trussell found in Boulder Canyon

The body believed to be that of Megan Trussell, a University of Colorado freshman reported missing on February 9, was found in a difficult-to-access area of Boulder Canyon. Authorities were led to the site after her last known phone signal was traced to the area. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office and City of Boulder Open Space rangers discovered the body in a location that required technical rappelling to reach. While the identity and cause of death await confirmation from the Boulder County Coroner's Office, family and friends have begun grieving, with a GoFundMe page transitioning from a search effort to a memorial. Trussell had been seen leaving her dormitory wearing distinctive clothing, and her disappearance prompted a multi-agency search including local, state, and federal authorities.
