A Michigan family is desperate for answers after the suspicious death of their 31-year-old daughter in January 2022 at their Carrollton Township home.
Although investigators are withholding the specific manner of Megan Drumhiller’s death, recent evidence collected from the crime scene by the Saginaw County Sheriff’s Office strongly suggests she was murdered.
According to Megan’s mother, Lynette Drumhiller, law enforcement officials advised the family not to view the crime scene photographs because of their disturbing nature. She expressed, “They were very difficult, they said. Every officer who saw the scene or the pictures said it was 100% homicide, it was never in our wildest dreams…never on our radar – very shocking.”

The family, represented by their attorney and Megan’s aunt, Tara Pearson, said they may have an idea of who is responsible for Megan Drumhiller’s death. However, they are withholding any information to avoid compromising the ongoing investigation.
At a press conference Thursday morning, Lynette and Tim Drumhiller publicly shared their frustrations with the police investigation into their daughter’s death, the first time they’ve voiced their concerns publicly.
The family expressed concern over the Carrollton Township Police Department’s handling of Megan Drumhiller’s death investigation. They accuse the department of not conducting thorough DNA testing on all evidence at the crime scene, failing to interview all potential witnesses immediately after her death, and neglecting to thoroughly review all available surveillance footage and the lead detective on the case. Due to Covid-19, remote, in-person crime scene visits are rare for several months.
“I don’t understand how you can effectively investigate a case while working from home,” Lynette expressed her doubts.
At the press conference, Tim expressed his disappointment with the initial investigation, stating that it was riddled with many errors and inaccuracies. Lynette shared her belief that the entire process was designed to exhaust and oppress her family.
The Carrollton Township Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Lynette emphasizes the urgency of the situation, saying, “A murderer is still on the run, threatening everyone.” Addressing the perpetrator directly, she said, “To the person who took Megan’s life, you know who you are, and I hope your nightmares exceed our own.”
Lynette became emotional as she described the heart-wrenching moment when she and her husband arrived at their daughter’s home to find an ambulance and crime scene tape. She recalls a detective with 30 years of experience saying she was “99.9% certain” Megan had been murdered.
Lynette also stated that Megan did not allow anyone outside of her close friends and family into her home. There were no signs of forced entry, according to her father, leading the family to believe Megan may have believed her killer.
Tim also highlighted the shortage of police personnel across the country and shared data from the FBI indicating that more than half of murder cases in the United States go unsolved, adding to the challenges of seeking justice for his daughter.
Lynette raises a critical question, “How many other families are going through this?” She expressed concern that due to the current situation, criminals are likely to commit more crimes. She described the situation as depressing and worrisome and believed the country should make more progress in addressing such issues.
After the case was transferred to the Saginaw County Sheriff’s Office, a private forensic DNA lab took over the testing of evidence previously held at a Michigan state lab. Additionally, the Drumhillers have enlisted the services of an undisclosed private investigator at this time.
The Saginaw County Sheriff’s Office declined to provide details on Megan Drumhiller’s death case, citing an ongoing investigation.

In their quest for justice, the family is offering a $100,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest in their daughter’s murder.
Optimistic about the progress, Tim said, “We are encouraged by today’s developments, and in the coming days, we aim to provide further updates on what is happening.”
Megan described as a light-hearted, witty, and intelligent woman with a passion for dancing and writing, worked in retail at the time of her tragic death. She lived in a somewhat rural neighborhood surrounded by families.
