On July 3rd, Megan Nichols disappeared from her home in Fairfield, Illinois.

That night, her mother, Kathy Jo Hutchcraft, discovered a note Megan had left behind telling her mother that she loved her, but would never be happy at home. She also left her cell phone, which had been wiped clean.

"Megan wouldn't do this, she wouldn't just leave," Hutchcraft told 14News, a local NBC affiliate.

According to authorities, Megan, who was 15 when she was last seen, withdrew money from a local bank while on her bicycle prior to her disappearance. Despite being missing for over a month, however, there are no active leads.
Megan is 5'6'' tall, and weighs 111 lbs. If you have any information on her whereabouts, please call the Fairfield Police Department at (618) 842-2151.

_____________________________________________

This case is local for me. As I was reading about it when it happened, I realized I had gone to high school with both her parents. I didn't realize they had a child together. The dad is not the man that mom is married to now. Also, dad is a registered sex offender who lives in Oklahoma.

I think it's telling that she wiped her phone clean. She must have been communicating with someone she didn't want her parents to know about. She has a boyfriend and many have accused him, but he claims he doesn't know where she is or what happened to her.
