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.
In case you missed it in the comments, another woman being stalked was also empowered with a little help from this blog, and her own bravery to end her stalking. Morgan is smiling for us all – love you honey!
Wonderful to hear! Good Job Ingram’s! 🙂 *God Bless You*
That’s just amazing. So glad that Morgan’s story is helping people!
We are too – it makes my heart smile 🙂
amitriptyline can be used on horses!
Another tricyclic antidepressant that can be used is amitriptyline.

What Is Narcolepsy?
Narcolepsy in horses is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and episodes of cataplexy–the sudden but usually brief loss of muscle tone that results in partial or complete collapse.
As in humans, true narcolepsy in horses is characterized by deep sleep or REM (rapid eye movement) sleep that occurs at an unusual time. Horses get most of their sleep on their feet, thanks to a unique physical structure known as the stay apparatus. This system of tendons and ligaments in the hind legs, and to a lesser degree the front legs, locks the limbs in extension, allowing the horse to sleep while he is standing. Even with this ability, horses typically lie down at least once a day to achieve deep sleep. Normal horses that are provided with comfortable, familiar surroundings can obtain sufficient REM sleep during short periods of recumbency.
Treatment?
Once a definitive diagnosis is made, several treatment options are available. Although imipramine–a tricyclic antidepressant widely used in human medicine–is the standard treatment for narcolepsy in horses, another tricyclic antidepressant that can be used is amitriptyline. Tricyclic antidepressants work to block the re-uptake of serotonin and norephinephrine. Nick Dodman, BVMS, Dipl. ACVA, ACVB, a professor, section head, and program director in the Animal Behavior Department of Clinical Sciences at Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in North Grafton, Mass., believes “it is this catecholamine surge (the block of serotonin and norephinephrine) that buoys the level of consciousness/awareness and prevents the horse literally from falling asleep on his feet.” According to Dodman, amitriptyline is slightly more potent than imipramine, so when horses are first introduced to the drug, they should be on colic watch to see how they react to it. Dodman says that he has used amitriptyline 100% successfully on one narcoleptic horse at 300 mg once daily given in a mixture of sweet feed and molasses. “The horse ate it as willing as an aperitif (appetizer),” says Dodman.
We have always had horses, but I never knew there was transdermal amitriptyline for horses, that people could buy without a prescription, for their animals (cats, dogs, horses), as well as in injectable, and drinkable forms. If you had a transdermal form for a 1200 lb horse and used it on a 115 lb girl could you imagine what would happen? That’s what I thought at first, but now that we have seen on the new toxicology results Morgan actually had a combination of date rape drugs in her that killed her, but from December 2nd until now, even though she had an active and horrible felony stalking case open it was never investigated as a possible homicide…how is that possible?
Since writing this blog we have had 2 local veterinarians write in that they never knew people could use this for nefarious reasons, so now they will lock it up, and not just sell it to people that want it for their horses unless the vet sees the horse themselves and administers it. So slowly but surely maybe information coming out in this case will change things in a lot of different ways that we did not even comprehend.
I applaud these veterinarians that read the blog, and took action on their own – they are really good people!

I cropped and enlarged the stalker. I dont know if this help or not but thought it was worth a try.
It’s funny that I just read this right after discussing with my husband about how easy it would be to get that. We looked at K’s facebook and there’s nothing that shows light hair or anything to do with horses. There is a comment before about a rodeo that time of year. How easy would it be to board his horse and stalk Morgan? And rodeo on the quiet days, we’re there any rodeos going on in nearby towns? Could this be possible?
To me it looks like an older man not a child. Although Kennan is an obvious choice – it seems to me that it is never the obvious person. ELLLIOT fits the profile and moved after they started investigating….I wish we could see a pic of him
No but ?’s mom works at the ranch right behind the houses where we had our horse.
Dotty take a look at the photos on this page showing some different scenarios. I think the backwards cap is it!!

(Might have to scroll down a bit for the photos)
he is clearly wearing a mask in the photo. ever visit K’s myspace page… same looking mask…. hunting gear, love to kill very scary.
(as per the link posted)
Why didn’t somebody think of that earlier about the negative light/dark effect on the image. Everybody kept posting about “blonde hair”. And E even stated that he had the same shirt in dark colors, right?
For what it helps Steve and I did a little experiment with the wildlife camera. He was thinking that heat could show up lighter and that would effect the light / dark. So he ran until he was good and warmed up then stood fora wildlife photo and there was no difference we could see based on body heat. If he changed from a light to a dark shirt that was completely picked up but not the body heat.
