How did a night out while just having fun, dancing and being social end so tragically for a young 26-year old woman? In the early morning hours of March 26, 2000, Megan Curl was found brutally murdered in her apartment.

Earlier that night, Megan had reportedly gone out dancing at Electric Cowboy in Lufkin, Texas as she often did. There, it was said that she met a few men whom she socialized and had a few drinks with. Megan then went to another club called the Sports Shack, just a little ways down the road from the Electric Cowboy club, where she met another man. Megan reportedly arrived home around 1:30 a.m. and she and her neighbor/friend had a brief conversation outside their apartment complex just before an unknown man pulled up in a car. Upon seeing the vehicle, Megan told her friend that she thought it was the man she had met at the club. The two then disappeared for the night into Megan's apartment.

Around 4 a.m., emergency officials were called to her apartment on a report of smoke coming from Megan's building. Within the hour the fire had been extinguished and her burned body was discovered. Although there have been many persons of interest, Megan's murder still remains unsolved.

Anyone with information in Curl’s death is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 639-TIPS.
