pumplin carving 2011
We went to the pumpkin patch early, all of us, along with our two grandchildren. Morgan loved the picture taking opportunity, and for Morgan to spend time with her little niece, Joni, was special for Morgan, they were getting closer all the time. Her nephew Odin was still a little too young, but Morgan thought Odin was going to be just like her when he grew up – even his little feet were like hers and they had the same color hair…she adored him.
Back at home I we had plans to meet Detective Glassmire after twelve, and we zeroed in on after 3:00 pm. When he came to the house at 3:30 with more interesting news. He had spoken with Brooke about the rumors we were hearing in the neighborhood concerning Morgan and the stalker, and what things she had spoken to others about. He said that Brooke told him that she gets all of her information from her mom. Then he went and talked with Brooke’s mom, asking her the same question. Brooke’s mom in turn said the exact opposite – that she gets all of her information from Brooke – so who’s zooming who?
I expressed to the detective that obviously one of them, if not both were not being truthful, and I was curious as to what he was going to do next. He said he had decided to let it go for now and revisit it later – why? He was concerned that Brooke was under eighteen, and he needed to have her father right there to question her, and it had to be done just so. I didn’t really understand, but I dropped it as well.
Then we discussed the conversation I had had with Elliott and all of the ways that it could be taken. I thought it would be very positive for Detective Glassmire to question Elliott, particularly about the “they” part of the conversation, as in “they were freaked out,” it had a feeling of guilt to me, and the detective agreed. But then he did not want to tip off Keenan, or the Harris’ about exactly what we are thinking, better to keep them in the dark. I told him I really thought Keenan already knew that they were watching him, and that they were trying to talk to him. And now that he had moved out it might become more difficult.
They had never actually been able to talk with him while he was living in Brooke’s dad’s house with Brooke, and I asked Detective Glassmire if they knew where he had moved to. The detective said they didn’t, but that they would start checking into it.
That night we all went to a birthday party for a friend of mine. Steve and myself, with Morgan and Danny. It was great fun to be out of the house, and at first Morgan had been concerned about how late we were going to stay, as she thought it might be not her cup of tea – Morgan usually did not go birthday parties for my friends with us. But Danny said he would like to go and after a while she was having a great time, and kept saying how she didn’t think she was going to like a “Grown up party,” (I guess she meant with older people), but was finding fascinating people, and having some really intense conversations.
Steve and I talked about how much she had grown, and watched her mingle. When we were getting tired, and looking to go, it was Morgan who wanted to stay, we had to promise to bring her with us to the next party before she would leave. Morgan loved intellectual conversations, and she said this was the first time in a long time she felt she was really satisfying that.
At 8:32 pm, while we were gone, the video surveillance recorded the rear light going on twice. We reviewed the cameras and did not see anyone.
We now had an extra set of eyes in the neighborhood. A couple was staying next door for a few days, and their hours were completely different from ours. They liked to sleep more during the day, and then stay up all night. They could not patrol much, but they were trying to keep a look out for anything that happened outside or around our house all night. They had Steve’s cell number, and would call him if they spotted anything outside. It just figures that they were here to possibly spot something from next door when one of the suspects had just moved out.

(Police reports later show the “suspect” was not working on 10.15.2011)
The last time that I saw Morgan her and I shared a conversation that could be thought of as intelligent/stimulating. Definitely on the light side, but we were at our friends’ band performance in aspen. We spent most of the time seated outside, luckily it was summer and warm, but we mostly observed people and talked about them. I am sad that it was months before her passing and that I didn’t get to spend anymore time with her. I had known her for years, as we went to the same school proceeding high school. I really miss her, there is not a day I don’t think of her. Though some days are worse than others, I’m glad to have ever known her. And Toni you do her so much justice through text, it is obvious from people’s responses that have never been graced by her presence. I am working on a project in her honor at the moment and plan on doing more when I have the time for justice for her and every other past/present/future stalking victim. I love her, you and your family. Best wishes
Thanks S I know you miss her we all do and I know in my heart she is still with you.
I remember people trashing Fred Goldman and Beth Holloway for keeping their names and faces all over the news! Well, you know what, that is exactly what I would be doing! Do not back down!, you are asking for something that should have been done in the first place! An investigation into a suspicious death of a 20 year old girl that was being stalked! Why can’t the police just do their job? I hope Nancy Grace, Dr Phil, Dateline or someone picks this story up!This blog is being read and stirring things up and that is a good thing. My thoughts are with you and your family, and I deeply respect you for doing this as I am sure it is very hard to relive. I feel that you will get your wish and LE will be forced to look into Morgans death .
Bless you..
P from PA
Thanks P from PA – I hope we get our wish as well…we won’t give up have no fear!
Love n light to y’all for this.
And bless you for sending it to us…we can definitely use a lot of love and light. 🙂
Hi Toni, I am so so sorry for your loss. How are you and Steve coping these days? I am curious about these new set of eyes….did you know this couple prior or was this a new relationship? Do you have more evidence that hasn’t been shown to police at this point? Do you have your next steps planned out?
What!? It’s all coming together now…
Where can we see this?
Interesting info. I wonder if that is why the media is not covering Morgan’s case. I believe Toni said that the police told her the case was shut down from “high up”. This might be just the evidence needed to bring it all down!
“High up” may simply mean from the Sheriff and nothing more.
Toni, you know how much I want you to find the truth. I’m with you!
Well the sheriff wouldn’t have any power over the PD, so I think Toni is right-this is from high up and that cannot possibly mean a measly sheriff. Toni has posted her views and she ought to know, she is living it. This MUST go all the way to the top, whoever that may be.
And be assured I will go all the way to the White House if necessary – there is no way Steve and I will stop until the truth comes out. We need to give a voice to all those that can’t do this and we will. Carla and everyone – thanks so much for your support. You all keep us going.
Steve and I were both told that very thing when they closed Morgan’s case – our detective said, “It doesn’t matter what we feel in here (and he pointed to his chest) it only matters what we are being instructed to do from someone higher up.”
@Toni…i feel for your family’s safety, you all need to move the heck out of that state…sounds like way too much underground corruption going on there…Because all i’ve heard is nothing but shadyness with other cases too…Morgan lost her life…may the LORD’s hand be on your family during this time of insanity!
Thanks Luc – you sound like are other two kids…they get worried too, but trust me we will be OK and besides we have too much work to do in order to get Morgan justice and change the way things are done in the way of protection for these other victims that are out there…Morgan would have wanted us to help other girls and that is exactly what we will do until we go see Morgan again in her beautiful place. Love & light to you!
I know you mention somewhere Morgan was a Leo, and that she was into astrology 🙂 so am i! what is you and your husband zodiac sign? By the way i love Leos! My little boy is a leo and so is my best friend:) they are stubborn but the most loyal loving people ever!
I’m a Cancer and Steve is a Scorpio. And you are right Morgan was loyal to a fault…I only wish some of her more recent friends were loyal. Her older friend relationships are extremely loyal to her and have been trying to help Steve and I even to this day, even through all the hurt they have after losing her, but her more recent friends don’t seem to have the same emotional maturity.
Just read the article on Heaven, we all can have the hope to see Heaven again and those we love who have passed on.
In spite of being attacked in the previous blog, I do understand what it is like to lose a child, a loved child of any age.
I hope that one of the network shows picks up your story on Morgan and brings all this to the attention of the Press, we who have followed Morgan’s case from the beginning, will be there with you in support.
Thanks Betsy – i think that we will be doing some shows very soon.
Even though it must be painful, I think you’re doing a fantastic job at enlightenment and community outreach on this topic. It is needed. Keep going!
Thanks so much – I have also started passing out the printout of the National suggested stalking protocol for law enforcement as well as suggested printouts for High Schools and Colleges for their students and I hope others will start suggesting the same. Education and community involvement is critical. Take care!
Oh, I bet we do!
So ?.. could have been under 18 and her boyfriend was living with her? That seems like some shoddy parenting right there. Were both of her parents living there or just one? It seems like if they were there as well they would have information on K’s comings and goings.
Could there have been an access point from your roof to slip in n out undetected when you weren’t home? Like a chimney, i assume climbing up a chimney would be like climbing a doorway enterence, which i can still do at 30 climbing up and out a chimney would be nothing for a physically fit young man. Or i read that u made mention of an attic, did the attic have a window and if so was it out of view of the camera…. and if yes to both of them then the thump u mentioned Morgan heard earlier could have been him exiting the attic… just a thought. My condolences to your family, i pray u find all the answers you are looking for, and Morgan receives justice
