Stalker’s Attorneys…Worried About Their Client’s “Criminal Exposure”
Important things to know about your stalker:
~ YOUR STALKER WILL LIE ~
Sounds deceptively simple, doesn’t it? Of course he or she would lie; they are committing a crime in all 50 states in the U.S. I am now a Victim’s Advocate – I work with stalking victims, and not once, while suspects are being investigated, have I ever heard the stalker admit that he/she was stalking the victim. Actually, quite the opposite – they make up all kinds of reasons why they are not stalking the victim. I did hear once about a stalker confessing, after being shown by law enforcement that they had strong evidence against him…and if he would just walk away and leave his victim alone, they would not take criminal action against him…talk to any expert on stalking, and you will hear that this is NOT an effective stalking protocol.
The detective assigned to my daughter, Morgan’s felony stalking case (who is now the coroner of Garfield County), Detective Rob Glassmire, told us, “When a suspect lies to us (i.e., the sheriffs), there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.” Wow, sounds like law enforcement’s hands would be permanently tied if all detectives thought like that.
In Morgan’s case, obviously there was never an admission by the stalkers. Quite the opposite. As the first anniversary of her murder approached, Keenan’s lawyer (Keenan Vanginkel, who is listed as the “Suspect” on all the police reports) would not let him go on national TV because “The risk of criminal exposure was far too great.”
On the record, in court, Brooke Harris’ lawyer, Jonathan Shamis (who was quoting Keenan’s lawyer), said that Keenan could not be interviewed or on the Dr. Phil show about Morgan’s stalking and suspicious death because the “criminal exposure” was far too great. That one quote both floored me and spoke volumes about just who the alleged guilty party was in Morgan’s murder – Keenan.
As Brooke’s lawyer was speaking to a judge about why Keenan would not be on the national show, he explained why Brooke had to go, and also how he had to go with her to protect her from criminal exposure! I am not making this up – It’s all in the court records.
But we aren’t supposed to conclude that both suspects – Brooke Harris and Keenan Vanginkel, had criminal lawyers closely guarding their every move.
Putting my own opinions aside, you can draw your own conclusions from what Keenan did say when he did go on national TV years later. “Every time the Ingrams called the sheriff, I (Keenan) was on camera at City Market.”
I know what he said on national TV is not true – it was another BIG LIE, a FALSE NARRATIVE, and to prove it, I simply picked six incidents of stalking at our home at 62 Corral Drive, in Carbondale, Colorado. I picked six times because they had the time recorded by a surveillance DVR or other provable events. And many months after Morgan’s death, we were finally given Keenan’s work hours and could plainly see it was a lie.
Why would Keenan lie? About something so easily proven to be a lie? Most likely because he thinks no one will go to all the trouble to prove he is lying and he is right…it’s easier for everyone, including law enforcement to turn a blind eye. Why would a stalker lie about his stalking? Why would a murderer lie about murder? Maybe that is exactly why his lawyer would not let him go on national TV back in 2012; maybe she knew he could not stop himself from lying.
Now the statute of limitations is over for Morgan’s stalking, but not for her murder. Murder is a capital crime, and there is NO statute of limitations on murder!
The clock is still ticking, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, and we are still coming for all those involved in the murder and cover-up of our daughter’s murder. #JUSTICEFORMORGAN
The Lies of a Stalker…
Morgan’s stalker, Keenan Vanginkel, yes, I can say that- because his name is all over the police reports as the “suspect” in her felony stalking case, and yet he went on a TV show and blatantly LIED on camera. If the producers of that show had even done just a little investigating, like reading the actual police reports, they would have known it was a lie…but alas, they did not. A lot in the media these days only want to sell their shows, so they want the quick and easy show to support their narrative. They don’t care about the truth.
He said that once the sheriffs saw that his employment required a fingerprint ID to clock in and out of work, they could see he was at work when all the incidents of stalking occurred…what a lie!
The first part of his statement is correct: his employer did require a fingerprint ID to clock in and out of work…this in fact, corroborates the fact that he was NOT at work during the stalking incidents and Morgan’s murder.
I am sure some people believed him, but what they didn’t hear was the truth. Let’s unpack his statement…first, think about it: how would he know when the over 50 incidents of stalking happened if he was not involved? Secondly, his hours were not received by the sheriff’s until AFTER Morgan was killed. Then, 5 months after his work hours were compared to the stalking incidents, the detective brought Keenan into the sheriff’s interrogation room and tried to get him to admit to the stalking. When I watched the video of that interrogation, he was jittery, scratching himself, jumpy, and when told about the evidence, he still denied it was him. What a shock, right? A guilty person denying his guilt…that NEVER happens, right? I guess in some cases, if the suspect doesn’t confess, there is no crime.
So, the truth is that the sheriff’s received his work hours AFTER Morgan was killed, and when compared to the stalking incidents, they supported that he had no alibi for the dates and times of the stalking. The hours showed the stalking took place before and after his work hours, not during those work hours. His employment was less than a ten-minute drive from our house, and he mostly worked the graveyard shift, which gave him a great opportunity to stalk under the cloak of darkness.
He usually stalked on his way to work…so many lies from him and his supporters over the years, but facts don’t lie. We have the facts in black and white, as well as the horrific pictures of what was done to Morgan, including pictures of her body.
Morgan was stalked and then attacked, only days before she was scheduled to testify on camera, and the sheriff’s detective said they were planning on making an arrest.
Unfortunately, the suspect knew this was going to happen, as the detective told them that week, just before the murder. I think he wanted to scare him into confessing or stopping; I’m not quite sure…but this was not a good strategy.
When a victim of stalking is going to move away, or about to appear as a witness, those are the most dangerous and vulnerable times for the victim. I wish we had known that at that time.
At that time, the sheriff’s detective informed us that he believed the stalking would escalate. That was only 2 days before her murder. We were upset and scared, but had no idea what that meant…now we know. I honestly don’t think that the detective had any idea the stalker would kill Morgan. Unfortunately, many do not understand the lethal turn that stalking can, and sometimes does, take.
I write these things in the hope that another victim may learn from Morgan’s story, and our mistakes. I have heard from so many victims over the years, since I have been writing this blog – so many victims thanking me and saying that what they read helped them in their ordeal, to get away from their stalker, or have that stalker arrested. Every single time I hear this, I get a warm feeling inside, and my heart becomes happy…this is Morgan’s legacy. 
Most stalkers engage in multiple tactics to scare their victims – SPARC
I am sharing the following reel (link below) from SPARC (SPARC – Stalking Prevention, Awareness & Resource Center).
to scare their victims. The Stalking SLII Framework groups stalking behaviors into four categories: surveillance, life invasion, intimidation, and interference (SLII).

A Little Peak Into Who Morgan Was…
Morgan was many things. She was a loving daughter, sister, aunt, niece, and granddaughter, and a fiercely loyal friend. She was an artist, a pianist, a singer, a photographer, and a budding philosopher. She taught herself to knit and crochet, baked amazing desserts, and loved animals. She cared so lovingly for her dog, cat, bird, ferrets, and horse.
The picture above is something Morgan and her longtime friend Bryan created together, even though they were miles apart. She showed it to me about a month before her death, giggling as she explained it. At first, I couldn’t understand how they had made the same drawing without seeing each other’s work.
They had decided to create a pastel drawing together: Morgan made one half, and Bryan made the other. It was their way of staying connected through art while they were apart. They figured out how to make it work. That little drawing says so much to me about who Morgan was. She found joy in creating and sharing something with a friend. She was such a bright light in my life and in the lives of so many others.
I miss her more than words can say. My heart aches for her every day, and I know it will for as long as I live. What keeps me going is the belief, deep in my soul, that when my time on this earth is over, I will see her again. I will hold her tight and kiss her forehead. We will be together again, and my heart will no longer ache.
