Meggan Randall Sundwall is accused of manipulating Kacee Lyn Terry into believing she was terminally ill to gain control over her medical care and profit from a rumored life insurance policy.

• Meggan Randall Sundwall, a registered nurse, has been charged with aggravated murder and obstruction of justice in the death of her friend, Kacee Lyn Terry.
• Sundwall allegedly convinced Terry over several years that she had terminal cancer, despite Terry being healthy, in order to control her medical decisions.
• Terry died in August 2024 from an overdose of insulin and promethazine, which Sundwall, as a nurse, knew would be fatal; Terry was not diabetic.

• Authorities revealed evidence of Sundwall deleting over 900 text messages and falsely claiming Terry had a do-not-resuscitate order to obstruct the investigation.
