Morgan sends a text message to her teacher, “I don’t think that I’m going to make it to class today. I’m taking a mental health day from my life. Hope all is well!” Her teacher texts back, “Understood 🙂 xo”
Morgan found this to be a perfect place for reflection
Steve and I are weighing our options in the morning. We are becoming a lot more educated about stalkers and we are not liking anything we read. A particularly troubling issue for Steve is that our stalker is different. Every stalking instance, example and scenario they seem to know the stalker at some point. It was this fact, and also the fact the he was so seamlessly coexisting within our neighborhood that had Steve entertaining the thought of moving.
Today I started looking at other houses for lease ant at first it seemed crazy and desperate. But as I looked, and thought about it, and started to see homes that I could see had good defensive qualities to them, they didn’t appear very stalker friendly, and it all began to make sense. Up and moving would be such a huge task. But then staying put was really not any easier. Our free time was consumed preparing to catch the stalker. Our evenings were juggled around being certain we would be close by for Morgan. And our nights were always some new anti-stalker protocol that failed just like the last one.
We are so stressed out, and afraid for Morgan. Then came the deal breaker, reading over and over that if the stalker follows her when we move, shows up just as we have settled in and breathed that first sigh of relief, then it will only be worse…
We abandon ideas of moving for the moment and order two new motion detector sets. They can be clustered together, and each have its own unique sound. Steve thinks he can set up a light grid that will give us not only noise, but some invisible way of tracking him as he approaches.
I felt like I was in one of those old westerns, where the fort is about to come under attack from the Indians, and preparations for the onslaught are being carried out in the quiet before the storm. It has actually been days now where we are not sure if the stalker has even really been here. There have been noises and taps and barks, but nothing that really indicates him. It could all be just the normal noises that to a hyper-vigilant family are still something to worry about.
(Police reports later show the “suspect” was not working this evening)

Beautiful picture! I love Hanging Lake. I am also in awe of your strength and courage for Morgan. What a beautiful soul she was. To quote Billy Joel, only the good die young.
My grandmother used to always say that as well.
not fair, way to young. And so much to offer.
You’re right way too young, and she did have so much to offer to this world, but we feel like she is still contributing in a HUGE way from the other side. I know life is not always fair, but when your youngest child is terrorized for 4 months and then murdered and the people you put your trust in do not do the right thing – it gets to be really hard, we decided we only had two choices, to drop it, when our heart and brains knew it was wrong, or suffer more and fight back…well you know what we decided – we will never give up no matter how much it hurts every day of every week!
I get on every morning after my bible time to read your updates. I only have a two year old son, but I can not begin to fathom what Morgan and your family went through… Or what you and Steve continue to go through 🙁 I am so very sorry for your loss. But, I can see that your Morgan is a strong and brave young woman. I pray for peace for your family and strength to get through each day without her. Thank you for sharing Morgan’s story. I had no idea that stalking went to this kind of extreme. I know that you have to helping a lot of people in this same situation. Is there any way that you can take this to major media? I am sure that you have, but I just thought I would throw that out there. Stay strong, the truth will shine through and Morgan’s story will continue to help save others.
We will try to get it to major media – seems like that is going to be the only way to make the changes that are needed. Morgan’s spirit is driving us on in the most gentle and sweet way and we know it will happen…we just don’t know when. Thank you for supporting our efforts.
Mrs Ingram try contacting Oprah Winfrey for Morgan’s story…i feel she would get your family the best media coverage and interviews
I would try to contact dateline or 20/20! This is exactly the type of stories they are looking to report on.
Go to their Facebook page, Dateline NBC, and message them to this site and the Facebook page. I just did and if enough people make it known to them maybe Dateline will take an interest.
This is so great – thanks for the information!
Did she go by herself? Was she not worried about the stalker following her during the day?
No she went with friends and took her puppy along as well. She was always watching, even during the day but felt pretty safe with all her friends around.
Prayers for you as you mourn the loss of your beautiful daughter. Was staying in your home even an option at this point?
Nope – we moved as soon as we could…I couldn’t stand the thought of staying in that house.
I just messaged Dateline NBC through Facebook and directed them to this site and also the Facebook Page. I believe that if they get enough messages about it, they will take an interest. I am all for writing letters, if you can direct me, I am more than willing to help in the fight for justice. Prayers to your family.
Thanks so much – we really appreciate it and I will be letting people on the blog know where to send letters but I don’t think that will be until next week…we are so blessed to have you and everyone else helping with this.
I know Morgan is smiling down on everyone that is helping!
My husband also sent the info to CNN. Hopefully someone will pick it up.
Thanks so very, very much!
wasn’t really sure where to post this comment since it pertains to a earlier post of yours here on the blog, actually i think a few posts. i think i might put this in those posts also just to make sure its seen. it has to do with the red dot you tried to track down and follow as well as the wild life cam being smashed after it got a picture of him. now that you are showing evidence of him being on your roof and and possibly others as well, is it possible he was on the roof and could reach the cam from there? and could the red dot steve was trying to chase have been a laser pointer or something of that sort being projected from the roof as the stalker sat up there and watched you guys run around after it?
the camera was hit right after the camera shot the picture of him, on the wildlife cameras when they take a picture a little red light blinks and he saw it and tried to knock down the camera so I know he wasn’t on the roof he was right by Steve’s truck in the driveway watching the Sheriff’s leave.
We still don’t know what the red dot was, it has been suggested that it was a site on a gun, it could have been the red dot on night vision glasses + some other suggestions that we have gotten from people. A laser pointer was never brought up but it could’ve been I guess – if he was on the roof – that makes sense too – I’m sure he always thought it was funny that no one could run him down.
I sent a facebook message to Dateline NBC. I hope they take on your story.
That would be awesome…thanks for trying Lisa Marie!
If it was a laser pointer i would think it would have to be pointed against something for you to see it.I wiuld lean towards over the head night vision goggles and the red dot being the IR light.
That’s what we really think it was
As a mom of 2 young girls, my heart aches for you. Your story shakes me to the core and I feel both your determination and helplessness as a parent trying to protect your child. I pray that you find justice for Morgan. She seems like an amazing young woman.
Thank you so much Hailey – we appreciate it so very much!
Dear Ingram Family~ I saw your story on the Dr Phil show today and not only did I think the evidence points in the direction you have made so obvious (in my opinion) but my “mommy hairs” stood up the whole time as I felt there was def a case that could not be ignored. The fact this K guy didnt show shows alot to me and Im sure for other viewers of Dr Phils show. The girl didnt seem very intent on talking about her “side”–if someone was accusing me of something like that and I know I didnt do it, I would try to be empathtic (no sympathies to you guys from her??) but would try and share what I was doing on that day, what kind of person I was etc etc. Why be so quiet except to just deny deny. We are as sick as our secrets as they say. Why not offer to help in the case? I thinjk this speaks VOLUMES. Even though I was convinced before coming here, the more I read,watched the videos the more I am convinced this was not a case of suicide or natural causes—such rubbish! I have 3 kids, 1 being a 20 yr old daughter and my heart aches just thinking what you must be going thru, how or what I would do….if I would know what to do?!?! I am a daily Dr Phil viewer and fan, however I do think your case was not given proper time as the show is only 1 hr and obviousy there is WAY more to Morgans story than a 1 hr show could even begin to reveal. I agree and thank the person whom sent your story to Dateline–I say for sure! I think many of us should do the same. My prayers are with you and I will pray for answers…REAL answers. I say NEVER give up, and NEVER ignore your as I call them “mommy hairs!” God bless and keep telling your story…Im sure Morgan woud want people to know and thru your sharing Im sure others will be helped and who knows beyond that.
