MySpace Hoaxer Lori Drew Even Told Her Hairdresser
The Smoking Gun ^

Posted on 09/23/2008 4:38:16 PM PDT by WilliamReading

SEPTEMBER 23--The California woman charged with orchestrating a cruel online hoax that led to the suicide of a teenage girl was once so pleased with her prank that she shared details of the ongoing scheme with her hairdresser and other acquaintances, according to prosecutors. During conversations with several individuals, Lori Drew explained how she and others were "playing a joke on" Megan Meier, a 13-year-girl who was a rival of Drew's daughter. That joke involved Drew's creation of a MySpace page for a "Josh Evans," a nonexistent boy who took an online liking to Meier, but then abruptly turned on the girl, telling her on October 16, 2006 that the world would be a better place without her. A distraught Meier committed suicide later that day. In May, Drew was named in a four-count federal indictment charging her with conspiracy and computer fraud in connection with the MySpace scheme. In a court filing yesterday, prosecutors revealed how Drew spoke of the hoax as it was underway, and "denied any untoward purpose and dismissed concerns over her 'prank." An excerpt of the September 22 document can be found below. While Drew appeared proud of her MySpace gambit while it was active, after Meier's suicide she sought to cover her tracks and mask her involvement in the plot. When questioned by FBI agents, Drew said that while she knew of the MySpace hoax, she was not involved in the creation of the phony "Josh Evans" account. Additionally, when agents surreptitiously recorded a conversation between Drew and Meier's mother, Drew "again disclaimed involvement in the scheme."

I’m with you Mark. I would probably be seeing that Orange Jumpsuit myself. But it would be so worth it.

I don’t know for sure. My mom’s favorite saying was, “stop that or I will smack the tar out of you”

Mmmm, I have friends in southern Indiana who say "tar" when they actually mean "tire". Did you have somewhat of a paunch as a youngster? Perhaps your mom meant she was going to smack that (spare)"tire" out of you.

This would make a pretty good Lifetime Channel Movie of the Week, if they haven’t already made one yet.

This witch is going to find out in short order that the law is no joke. If I were her, I'd be even more worried about my future.

The Lord says: It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Luke 17:2.

So Lori, God will hold you accountable for this child's blood. You murdered her as surely as if you had gunned her down.

Once I calmed down a bit - that story still REALLY pissed me off - I am positive that I wouldn't have physically harmed them, nor anyone else... But I would have caused unbelievable property damage - like burning down their home, and that of their parents, and their employers, and the places they worked. And made arrangements with seedy private investigators - like the ones the Clintons used, to destroy their privacy, reputations, and sanity.

I would have made it my one and only reason to live to do all I could to ruin their lives.

I was fresh to the wrong young lady once who informed me that she was going to smack the taste right out of my mouth.

Don't worry about it, Mark. As tempting as all that is (and we wouldn't be human if we didn't entertain the idea) remember, it's okay to be angry, and yet sin not. Vengeance is the Lord's, this cruel witch will be paid back a double cup of woe for shedding innocent blood.

Yeah, Lori Drew is vile scumbag. Lori Drew looks like Fred Phelps, probably his bastard child. She deserves to rot in Hell along with Pol Pot and Jim Jones.
