307 - The coroner is in cahoots (Part 2)

In the chilling conclusion to the 'Coroner Is in Cahoots' saga, the podcast dives into the grotesque unraveling of Megan Jackson and deputy coroner Chris Rice, whose twisted relationship culminated in the murder of Megan’s ex-partner, Greg Rice. After 37 days of silence, a fisherman discovers Greg’s decomposing body tied with zip ties and a cinder block—evidence of a botched disposal that defied basic knowledge of decomposition. The investigation pivots on digital trails, surveillance footage, and a damning testimony from Megan’s own daughter, Savannah, who reveals her mother’s chilling threat: 'I hope whatever happened to your dad happens to your little sister.' Chris, the only one with access to the tools and knowledge to dispose of a body, is arrested after buying murder kit supplies in cash—only to later break under pressure and confess under a plea deal. His testimony, corroborated by Megan’s failed lie detector test and the discovery of an empty gun box at her home, reveals a premeditated murder orchestrated by Megan, who allegedly shot Greg in broad daylight before they transported the body to a funeral home. The jury, swayed by Chris’s tearful account and Savannah’s emotional testimony, convicts Megan of murder, sentencing her to life in prison. Chris receives 20 years for accessory and conspiracy.
