I've been saying Murbarger was guilty since long before he was charged.

Actually, weren't you one of the people arguing with me about that?

(I still wonder whether he got any help from his dad.)

I did think it was Megan's mother who was to blame at first.

I also wonder about Illinois State Police Inspector Jayson Murbarger's probable involvement... Brodey had his father testify about water leaking into his car's trunk. Jayson claimed to be unaware of any other fluids that may have been in the trunk.

Wow.

“Investigators had suspected all along that Murbarger had strangled Megan in a fit of rage, and when his trial began last year, prosecutors presented the theory to a jury. As Ellis watched jurors deliver a guilty verdict, he was relieved that justice had been served. But he still finds himself dwelling on his onetime friend, evaluating day-to-day situations as Murbarger would have.

"I was around him for so long that he’s kind of a voice in my head,” Ellis said. “But I would like for him to not be anyone in my life now. I’d kind of like for him to not exist."

The chilling tale began when Megan, who had a talent for music, first met 17-year-old Brodey at their high school glee club.

She told Dateline: 'I had this rule - we're not going to have a "boyfriend." You can be friends but we're not going to have this boyfriend thing going on until you're 16.

'That was my preference. You don't need a boyfriend. You don't need to put a label on it.'
