Nurse Arrested for Allegedly Poisoning Friend for Life Insurance

A Santaquin registered nurse, Meggan Randall Sundwall, was arrested on allegations of fatally poisoning her friend Kacee Lyn Terry with insulin to access a purported $1.5 million life insurance policy. Evidence indicates that Sundwall communicated with Terry over the years, trying to manipulate her into believing she was suffering from cancer, even though medical assessments revealed she was healthy. After Sundwall failed to provide life-saving care during a medical emergency, resulting in Terry's death, investigations uncovered an extensive history of concerning text messages indicating Sundwall's intentions to harm her friend for financial gain.

On August 12, police responded to an emergency call regarding Terry's unresponsiveness and found her being cared for by Sundwall, who manipulated the situation to avoid medical intervention. Following her death a few days later, forensic analysis established that Terry's dangerous blood sugar levels were the result of external insulin administration. The investigation revealed that Sundwall had been actively seeking out Terry's life insurance details after her death, suggesting premeditated actions motivated by financial distress.

Tthe tragedy not only of Terry's death but also the betrayal by someone she considered a friend. It serves as a cautionary tale about the darker motivations that can lurk behind personal relationships, especially in the context of financial windfalls related to life insurance policies.
