Ep 13. Nowhere to Run

Nowhere to Run is the 13th episode of season 18 of the true crime show On The Case With Paula Zahn. In this episode, Paula Zahn investigates the heartbreaking case of a 22-year-old woman who was brutally murdered in her own home.

The victim, Megan Curl, was a loving daughter, sister, and friend. She lived in a small town in Missouri and worked as a medical assistant at a local clinic. On the morning of July 27, 2017, Megan's mother became worried when she did not show up for work. She went to her daughter's home to check on her and found her lifeless body on the floor. Megan had been shot several times, and her killer was nowhere to be found.

The investigation quickly revealed that Megan had been stalked by an ex-boyfriend, who had become increasingly obsessed with her after their breakup. He had even gone as far as to follow her to work and leave threatening messages on her phone. Megan had gone to the police for help, but they were unable to take action without solid evidence of a crime.

As Paula Zahn delves deeper into the case, she speaks with Megan's family, friends, and coworkers, who all describe her as a kind and caring person who was loved by everyone who knew her. They also reveal the terror that Megan felt in the days leading up to her murder and their frustration with the lack of action taken by the police.

Paula also speaks with law enforcement officials involved in the case, including the lead detective and the prosecutor who ultimately brought the killer to justice. She uncovers the challenges they faced in bringing Megan's killer to justice and the emotional toll that the case took on all involved.

Through interviews with those closest to Megan and those working to solve her murder, Nowhere to Run tells the story of a young woman whose life was tragically cut short and the search for justice for her and her family.
