Louisiana father discovers clues in his daughter's suspicious death on a digital camera
CBSN
On a steamy summer morning in 2014 in the tiny southern town of Cottonport, Louisiana, Steve Ducote and his wife Missy discovered their youngest daughter Megan lying on the floor of her living room with blood pooling around her head. Realizing Megan was still breathing, Missy Ducote, a nurse practitioner, attempted to save her life. Megan died in the hospital the next day.
"I saw the gun kind of tucked against her leg," Steve Ducote explained to CBS News lead national correspondent David Begnaud, in an interview for this week's "48 Hours." "The Suspicious Death of Megan Parra" airs Saturday, Jan. 6 at 10/9c on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
Steve Ducote says his first thought was that his daughter had shot herself. The gun was right by her side, and she had been found alone, behind locked doors.
