Tuesday, August 16, 2011 – The 15th Day Of Morgan’s Stalking and her 20th Birthday!

8.16.2011 – Today was Morgan’s birthday – she turned 20. This morning when she woke up, I asked her if she would like french toast, or eggs-in-a-hole, for her birthday breakfast (2 of her favorites).  She giggles and decided on french toast, but says she wants her daddy’s french toast.  Morgan loves his french toast. Steve is more than happy to cook that for her.  When she was a little girl he used to like making her pancakes in the shape of mickey mouse, dogs or fairies, she would always get so excited when he was creating special one-of-a-kind pancakes for her.

Tonight, Ryan, Morgan’s brother, Leesa and the kids came over to celebrate Morgan’s birthday, they wanted to do a sleep over.  We make dinner together, and birthday cake, with presents for Morgan.  A little later on we send Morgan off, for just a little while to go visit friends, while Steve goes out the back of the house with Ryan (both dressed all in black).  Steve hides in the back of the house on the berm, and Ryan is randomly running through the whole neighborhood trying to look for movement – Ryan wants to observe Morgan when she drives into the subdivision, so he can see if someone is following her, and parking somewhere nearby, then coming in on foot.  Once they are ready, Steve sends Morgan a text, “We are in position, come on home honey,” he then sends a text to Ryan, “On her way back now.”  A few minutes later Steve sees a small red light moving across the street from our house, we are pretty sure the stalker is using some kind of night vision goggles, as we have seen a small little red light moving off in the dark right after we know the stalker was at our house twice.  Morgan sends a text back, “in drive?”  Steve answers, “Yes, and Ryan is here, but I think he has now lost his phone, so you might as well come home.”  Morgan replies, “K”  Moments later Steve sees the little red light again from his position on the berm, he tells me later that he thinks the sheriff’s deputies were correct, despite how hard it was to believe, this stalker was most likely living right in our neighborhood. Otherwise, how else does he manage to be at our house so quickly after Morgan arrives home?  Steve is thinking that solving who the stalker is just got a little easier. But now we are asking ourselves another question, is there someone who’s tipping the stalker off, right as Morgan leaves Carbondale?  Because this night he appeared just minutes after Steve texted Morgan to come home!  Steve tries to contact Ryan so they can coordinate a chase of the person with the little red light, but can never reach Ryan till much later.  We hatch many plans to corner this person, using the little red light against them, but that night was the last time we ever saw the little red light off in the distance.  Leaving us to only wonder how the stalker is always managing to stay one step ahead of any plan we have to catch him.

Now today on August 16, 2012 my heart is so heavy with sadness, because today would have been Morgan’s 21st birthday.  We had talked to her last Fall about where she would like to go on her big 21st.  I knew some of her friends had gone to Las Vegas, so we discussed that possibility.  She didn’t really know where she wanted to go to celebrate at first, she wasn’t a big fan of Las Vegas, so we then talked about going to Santa Fe, New Mexico.  Morgan loved Santa Fe, and thought that was a good place to be on her birthday, the three of us in Santa Fe…but we were not able to do that with her today, because of this sick and twisted stalker – Morgan never made it to her 21st birthday.
