Family seeks justice for daughter as death certificate updated to homicide

cbsnews.com

Megan Parra's death was initially ruled a suicide after she was found shot in her home in 2014. Her family, doubting this conclusion, enlisted retired FBI agents to investigate further, leading to new evidence and questions about the original investigation. In 2023, Dustin Parra, Megan's husband, pleaded no contest to negligent homicide, admitting to a struggle that resulted in her death. This plea allowed the family to gain full custody of Megan's sons, who had been living with Dustin. Megan's death certificate has since been updated to reflect homicide. Dustin served nine months in prison and was released on parole in February 2024, regaining custody of the children.
