Sarah and Megan were really good friends at one time. They would celebrate birthdays together and go on vacations together, too. They would often fight. One day they would be friends and the next they would not. Finally Megan decided it would be best not to be friends. Lori decided to make a fake account to see if Megan was talking about Sarah.

Before all of this happened the Meiers were asked to store a Foosball table for Christmas at their house for the Drew’s, well Tina and Ron destroyed it using an axe and a sledge hammer. Then they put the pieces on the Drew's lawn and on the box Tina wrote, “Have a merry Christmas.” After that, they got a letter dated November 30, 2006 stating,” We are sorry for the extreme pain you are in and can only imagine how difficult it must be.
