Meagan Lee Hassler was 19 and a mother to a two-year-old son when she went missing from Louisville, Kentucky, in June 2015. Her father reported her missing, and on June 23, 2015 her partially clothed body was found in a wooded ravine in Bullitt County, just over the Jefferson County line. The cause of death was determined to be a fatal shooting.

Investigators focused on two people: 45-year-old Todd Byrd and 22-year-old Monica Mudd. Mudd turned herself in to Louisville Metro Police and, according to her statement, she and Byrd abducted Hassler on June 17, 2015 because they believed she had stolen drugs. They allegedly forced her to undress and searched her; when no drugs were found they drove her to Pendleton Hill Road, where she was shot and left several feet from the road.

Both Byrd and Mudd were arrested and charged with murder and kidnapping, with bonds set at $750,000 each. Mudd later pleaded guilty to murder, kidnapping, and robbery and received a 20-year prison sentence; as part of her plea she agreed to testify against her co-defendant. Did anyone in the community know Meagan or have information about her movements in mid-June 2015?
