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.
