Meagan Jackson’s 16-year-long relationship ended with Gregory Rice in November 2019 — the same month her mother Carol Jackson died — and this November she finds herself in jail, accused of killing Rice, the father of her 4 children.
On Nov. 19, 2019, the same day Carol died, Meagan sold her house in Murrells Inlet, with eyes on another home that her mother was supposed to cosign for, said Shawn Harju, Jackson’s half-brother.
“That didn’t happen because my mother passed away,” Harju said. “My sister, her demeanor kind of changed and, I guess, with both parents gone and more kids and a relationship that after 16 years went whatever direction it was going and then she basically ended up homeless because she sold her house that morning.”
Chris Dontell, a former deputy coroner with the Horry County Coroner’s Office, was also charged in connection to Rice’s death.
