One of the girls told police she didn’t like the smoothie, but Meyden allegedly insisted she drink it and made her a second one to try. Meyden allegedly returned to the basement to check if the girls were asleep several times. The family friend who had received the message came to pick her up in the middle of the night. The family friend told Meyden the girl had a family emergency and he allowed her to leave. Meyden allegedly said the girls were asleep and “insisted” the parents come back later.
