August 4 – 5, 2011 – 3rd and 4th days of Morgan’s Stalking

Posted on by

2:00 pm Morgan goes to get her teeth cleaned in Basalt.  She comes home and helps give our big dog a bath.  Leaves to go take photos.  Tonight is 1st Friday in Carbondale.  Majid is doing a live painting, and Marble Fest starts tonight as well.

At 11:04 pm I sent a text Morgan and said, “M – it’s 11 pm are you on your way home?  Ry and Leesa are taking Dad’s truck tomorrow morning, and the Rover is the only car we will have.  Morgan answered, “I’m just leaving actually”  I texted her back, “OK see you soon, love you.”

Morgan heard tapping on her bedroom windows within 15 minutes of her getting home that evening, and turning off her lights – she  is now getting very worried, she feels like there is someone outside her window in the dark just watching for her, angry that she is turning off her lights, trying to get her attention or scare her, she shivers and still tries to convince herself that branches or something else is potentially rubbing up against her bedroom windows.  She finally tells me (her mom) about this on Friday night – we don’t recall any bushes or trees being close enough to Morgan’s bathroom or bedroom windows to cause the noise.  I tell Morgan first thing in the morning, when it’s light out, we will go check to see if there is anything that could be causing the tapping.  Little did we know on this night what tomorrow we would discover.

August 3, 2011 – 2nd night of Morgan’s stalking

Posted on by

Morgan walked her puppy down to the river again, she came home and then went with her puppy Wylah May to Carbondale to hang out with her friends.

At 11:36 am Morgan posted the following to her Facebook page:

I sent Morgan a Facebook message saying, “Hello.”  Morgan wrote back, “Bahaha Hi Mom” and then she said, “I put up pictures.”  I said, “I saw they’re great!”

Morgan was constantly taking pictures, and we loved looking at them – it was fun to see life the way she saw it  through her lens.  She was always photographing people, animals, nature, and happy things happening in this world.

This evening she didn’t hear anything on her windows.

WHAT MOTIVATES A STALKER?

Posted on by

Stalkers can be driven by several different reasons, and most have stalked more than one person in their lifetime. Stalkers are obsessed with their victims, and this obsession is expressed in many ways. Some common reasons for this obsession include power, control, and sometimes revenge.

Most stalkers don’t take responsibility for their actions – they blame others for making them do what they do (check out DARVO for a better understanding http://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineDARVO.html). Stalkers who have had intimate relationships with their victims have been shown to be much more aggressive and violent (both male and female perpetrators). Relationship violence perpetrators often stalk their victims during the course of the relationship and especially after the victim leaves the relationships.

Each year, 6.6 million people are stalked in the United States.  Women are nearly three times more likely to be stalked than men.  It is important to remember both men and women can be victims of stalking.  Nearly 3 in 4 victims know their offender in some capacity.▪ From Network of Victim Assistance http://www.novabucks.org/otherinformation/stalking/ 

WE NEED TO CHANGE THESE STATISTICS – WE NEED TO ALL PULL TOGETHER TO SAY THIS HAS GOT TO STOP, AND WE NEED TO MAKE ALL THE CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE IN ORDER TO PROTECT THESE VICTIMS – AS WELL AS OUR OWN LOVED ONES THAT COULD BECOME VICTIMS…NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE!

Morgan and her puppy Wylah May in August 2011

Posted on by

Morgan posted this picture of her new little puppy Wylah May yesterday, August 2, 2011 – she was so excited to have her very own dog…we didn’t know on this day that their time together would not be very long.

My heart breaks now, every time I look through Morgan’s computer at all the things she saved, every single day, till the day she died.  She was always so busy, always researching, learning, taking pictures, and enjoying life – even while her stalker(s) tried taking that from her.

Morgan’s Horrific Stalking Started So Innocently

Posted on by

August 2, 2011 –

We had just returned to our beautiful valley in Colorado, after vacationing with our 19-year-old daughter, Morgan.  On our drive back we had picked up her new puppy Wylah May.  Morgan had never had a puppy of her own, she was so excited about her little Australian Shepard.  She treated her puppy as though she were her own baby, spent every dime she earned on special food, toys, everything for this little puppy.  She brought her down to the river this very afternoon (it was one of her favorite spots to meditate), and her little puppy, Wylah May, seemed to love everything about the outdoors.  This evening Morgan drove into Carbondale to show her friends her new puppy –  when she arrived home later that evening she went directly into her room, days later she told her father and I that she had started to undress in her bathroom, in order to take a shower, and then heard tapping on her bathroom window.  Morgan’s bathroom window was made of obscured glass, so you could not see in, but someone outside could see the light go on, and possibly some shadows.  Morgan jumped, but then thought it must be a branch or a bird tapping the glass, so she disregarded the noise…this was the start of Morgan’s stalking…at least we thought this was the beginning.  Much later on we would learn, as in many other stalking victim’s cases, that it really started before any of us ever noticed.  Morgan had become a target of a stalker(s).
