Morgan speaking at her school – she believed in speaking out for the right of others as well
She has a BEAUTIFUL soul and it shines through everything she did. I love how that is what everyone who knew her and people that had even the most brief encounter with her remember most about her. She has left behind something I can only wish I could leave behind. She will always be BEAUTIFUL.
Thank you so much!
I remember this… this was the community school when we all graduated, miss you Morgan we had such a great time in that school growing up and having fun!
You are so right Danny – you guys were all so amazing!
Just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you for posting this blog!!! It actually did save me and my family as of yesterday! We had a stalker and would only come around 3am, on and off. The thing that saved us was I noted everything and every little detail and right down to the second on the clock and 3 days ago read your blog. The trail cam was a GREAT idea. We are hunters, but didn’t have any, but thankfully, our neighbors are hunters too and had 3 of them. We put them up, and were able to identify the person and logged the many times she, yes, SHE came around. I heard something last night, called the police officer in the k9 unit, they tracked her and found her half a mile away in the sage brush. The pictures made it so she confessed and she was arrested. Had we not done that, I don’t know how much longer this could have gone on! Thank you so much for putting your story out there. Please find peace in your heart knowing Morgan’s story saved a family. I really wish I could tell the entire story and leave our names, but for obvious reasons, I cannot. Hugs to you and Steve for this story and your courage to put it out there.
This fills our hearts with so much happiness!!! Thank you for letting us know. I am so happy that you are all safe and the female stalker has been arrested. Now that that has happened you know you are supposed to be notified at all times, whether she is in or out of jail, and to be notified of her whereabouts so she doesn’t show up again?
Did this happen in or around Carbondale?
We are in Nevada and yes, we will be notified when she is in/out of jail. Our neighbors are also happy she was caught as she was a friend to all on our street. We are all. Very close neighbors and watch out for each other. I will never move as this is the ideal “hood” as we lovingly call it.
This is a fabulous story and I would love to share your story in Colorado (no names of course), but this is the day when people are empowered enough to fight back and take our communities back from stalkers so I would love to just get the facts out and let people know there are things they can do to fight back. Thanks again for sharing and I am so very happy this worked out for you. Lots of love from Colorado!
This is why I love this blog-because of success stories like these. Awesome.
I would love it if you shared! There are so many supporters that want to see justice come for you and Morgan, well, the other day, justice was served because of Morgan’s story!! I pray that the one in your story is caught, and you get the ending my family did. Had it not been for her story, things could be different for me today.
Thanks so much!
Thankyou so much for sharing your story and making others aware of stalking. Such a scary and sad story. Your daughter was beautiful. Keep fighting for justice, you have the love and support of many. Have you ever thought about writing a book on your experience?
Love all the way from australia xoxo
Thank you so much for all the love you are sending from Australia – We have never been there but I heard it’s beautiful. Your support from so far away is staggering to imagine….and we so love it!
Sorry, I forgot to answer your other question about the book – yes, I have been approached about writing a book but right now I want to concentrate my efforts on getting an investigation open in order to get justice for Morgan and to keep getting this Blog out to try and inform and help others in the meantime. Thanks.
I recently moved from Grand Junction to Florida. I just found your story through a friends facebook post and have read everything. I am completely disgusted by the fact that I heard absolutely NOTHING about your daughters case while living there. Especially after the media attention for the disappearance and murder of Paige Birgfeld. Her case too has yet to arrest a suspect. How can the people who are hired to protect us, not focus on taking these killers off the streets?
My heart is breaking for you and your family. Although I never had the privilege of knowing your daughter, I feel Iike I’ve gotten to know her through your words. She was a beautiful young lady both on the inside and out.
I admire your strength as parents to relive each moment over again in your sharing. I can’t even imagine the pain you and your husband have and are going through. My daughters are 3 & 5 and even attempting to think about the level of pain, frustration, anger, and hurt you went through and are still going through is unbearable.
I applaud you for standing up to find justice for your daughter. As a victim of a stalker for several months by a superior military man while on active duty in the army, I know how hard it is to get anyone to listen. Everyone assumes you are crazy or your imagination is just getting the best of you. The sleepless nights, the documenting of every little thing, the need to escape; they are all too familiar. I’m so thankful that I had the courage to stand up for myself and others and turn him in. The retribution grew after that, threatening me, threatening my parents, and threatening my little sisters. Unfortunately they did nothing to him, except move me to a different work building, after me bringing his actions to light but it was enough to stop him. For a little while, he attempted to email me several years after. They never give up.
My heart still races each time I hear a noise outside.
I still have sleepless nights.
I still question everyone’s motives.
I always ensure my dog is with me at night.
I always close my blinds or curtains at night.
The nightmares still haunt me.
Being “ON ALERT” 24hrs a day/ 7 days a week is absolutely exhausting.
I recently found a book that I thought may bring some peace to you in your battle for justice for your daughter. The Shack by William T. Young
It has changed my views and brought me peace on some of the deepest wounds my heart and soul have endured.
I pray for peace and wisdom for you. God is aligning the right people to help you find justice for Morgan. He is using Morgan to help so many people prevent evil and to demand justice.
From one mom to another, You are a pillar of strength. Morgan was Blessed to have you as her mother. I’m sure she is very proud of you!
I remember reading about the Paige Birgfeld case, and I was upset about it at the time. There are so many cases of missing persons, or cases that clearly should have been considered murder, and been investigated, but were written off a natural causes or suicide. It just boggles my mind! And it creates a situation that leaves a murderer out in our mists to just do it again.
I am so sorry you had to go through that horrific stalking and you are so right – the emails and calls I have gotten from so many girls and woman tell a similar story about how it stays with you forever…forever worried, forever hyper-vigilant, and on and on. Changes need to be made, but you were very courageous, and did the right thing and I applaud you. So glad you made it through, and still courageous enough to share your story!
You are so right about God aligning the right people to help find justice for Morgan – it has been nothing more than a miracle at this point…the readers of this Blog will know eventually what has been happening, but you are right and this will help to prevent evil and demand justice. Thank you so very much for everything you said – it hurts so much every day, but then I feel Morgan’s spirit and she sends a warm feeling down my body, I stop crying and do what I am meant to do.
I am so sorry for the death of your beautiful Morgan and what your family has had to endure. I hope you can find the answers you seek. I just found your blog and it is fascinating.Have you thought about contacting Nancy Grace to see if they will tell your story and also you may want to contact Dr Baden to have a look at the AR’s. If he hant gotten involved with the Savio family there never would have been justice for Kathleen.
Thanks Dotty – we appreciate your comment and keep checking back on this blog because as things change and progress is made we will let everyone know. So many people now are speaking out.
I live in Atlanta and have a friend who works on Dr. Drew’s show. I have passed along your blog and have also asked her to pass along to the production team of Nancy Grace if she knows anyone. Hopefully we can get this somewhere on national news.
,Oh thank you so very much for your support – anything that will get the story out and raise awareness of the problems that are really all over the country, not just here, would be great. Thanks again!
No problem, I sent this blog to friends and hopefully they forward it on to others. The more people that hear your story the better. Let’s hope this goes worldwide, because not only is it an engaging story but it is also a story that needs to be told, and little attention is shown to the subject of stalking. Keep fighting and know that you have your angel morgan by your side and many many others across the globe.
You are so sweet to say that – it makes my heart happy just to hear it.
I saw this blog on my SIL’s fb page and have been reading it non-stop. Prayers to you and your family. Also I noticed on this picture, there is a large blue orb covering Morgan. Have you ever heard of “Wishes Fufilled” a book by Dr. Wayne Dwyer. He talks about the special orbs that follow some people. Worth a read. I hope you find solace in the kind thoughts from all of your readers and the memories of your daughter.
Another very close family friend who is an extremely strong Psychic Medium Investigator told me the following about this picture (and you were the only other person to notice):
It is an orb. A big beautiful Orb- spirit…. Wow
Look at that orb!!! She is powerful!! Right in her sacral chakra, beautiful!!
Thanks – we were told she was powerful before, but now – watch out!
Did you notice the large orb of light around her at all? It’s usally caused by lighting. But they also say it’s caused by spirits and angels surrounding the people in the photo. I like to think the latter and that she was surrounded by good energy on this day.
It’s a orb – this was a large orb (a little unusual) with more than one good spirit that wanted to watch her.
I have also learned that blue orbs not only are for healing and comfort, but for spiritual guides that are there to protect and guard you, and the Archangel Michael resonates the color blue, while he projects love and support. In my heart I feel like this is what was happening in that picture.

If you would like to write about some good resources, or ideas to help victims and survivors of stalking that would be great. You can email them to me through this website or send them as a comment to the blog. I will review them and approve them if they are appropriate. I always like having ideas from others – it is a great thing when people can share ideas. I feel like this is a really good forum, considering how many readers come to this blog every day from all over the world. Thank you!
