Megan Boswell Appears in Court, She’s Accused of Murdering Her 15-Month-Old Daughter

Megan Boswell appeared in court on Thursday; she’s charged in the death of her daughter, 15-month-old Evelyn Boswell.

The mother reported her daughter missing in February of 2020, saying she hadn’t been seen since December of 2019. In March of 2020, the toddler’s remains were found beneath a shed on a family member’s property.

Megan Boswell faces 19 charges, including two counts of felony murder. She also faces a dozen counts of false reporting, among other charges. In the past, there’s been concern with selecting a jury for the eventual trial, with Judge James Goodwin saying the court plans to prepare a questionnaire to gauge possible jury candidates.

It’s that notoriety that prompted Megan Boswell’s attorney, Gene Scott, to ask to move the case out of the county. Thursday, Goodwin set Boswell’s next hearing date, where the court will decide whether or not to move the case. According to court records, that date is June 20.

State prosecutors have also said they plan to seek life in prison for Megan Boswell. There’s a timeline of the case available at  https://www.wvlt.tv/2020/08/19/timeline-of-the-evelyn-boswell-case/. Story courtesy of WVLT
