Last night we had an event that I forgot to put on the blog. It would normally be an upsetting, frightening ordeal. But on day 102 of a gang stalking, it was something to sigh, and laugh at -how strange your world can become. At 8:00 pm Morgan was getting ready to go out. The last few days have been good to her, and I don’t want to be the one to ruin it, but I am watching the live feed from outside her window. With the addition of the separate Morgan outside cam, Steve has been able to go to synchronized times, and detect the “movement toward her window on both cameras. Once he showed me what to look for any streaks – like things hitting Morgan’s window, I can see it also. I am watching the camera and it happens right now as I know she is dressing to go out. It angers me and I head straight for her room and knock.
Morgan is just finishing up, and burst out the door (music playing in the background) just as radiant as I have ever seen her. She is smiling and happy and I almost feel guilty about an email I sent to Detective Glassmire where I worried about how she was taking all this, and I wanted him to see if Detective Alstatt would take her on the side for a little talk so we could have her opinion. Detective Glassmire felt Detective Alstatt was “Really good at this” and a mother can never be too safe with her kids, so I had set that wheel in motion. As I looked at her now I knew what Detective Alstatt would say, but like I said, you can never be too safe.
Morgan wondered what was up and the first thing that came to mind was that (obviously she had not heard any banging), so I wanted to say good bye, and hoped she had a good time, so I did. Morgan looked a little perplexed for an instant before bursting into a broader smile, and said, “Thanks mom.” I walked her to the car, and stood there watching her drive away. So easy to feel it is all over, your mind begs you to do it, countless times every day, and this was certainly one of those times.
Morgan waved from the street, and I watched her speed up as she drove for the end of the street. I didn’t move, just stood there and watched, not sure what I was thinking.
And then just like that, one snap of the fingers, and all that warm fuzziness was gone, completely replaced. A car had come from the right (on the right was the dead end of our cup-de-sac), very slowly at first. I could not see anything of the inside (it was dark out), and now it was rapidly accelerating toward Morgan, she was just turning the corner at the end of the block. I cried out, to anyone and turned for the house, yelling for Steve who came running from the room wondering what was wrong. I didn’t feel like the words came out correctly at all, but Steve understood it just fine, a car was following Morgan and as I heard his words to call dispatch I heard the front door slam, then his truck screeching down the driveway. Dispatch was speed dial #1 and I could still hear all the commotion he was causing out in the street, as I was connected to an all-too-familiar voice.
But instead of her normal concern and rapid fire questions for information, I heard her saying it is OK, everything is fine Mrs. Ingram, just fine. I told her no it was not, Morgan was just followed out of the cul-de-sac and my husband is in hot pursuit, we need officers, now.
She was silent for a half-breath and then came back, that it is their car following Morgan, they had a tip. You better call your husband and tell him what is up. I slammed the phone down not sure whether to be happy or outraged. Why could they not tell us, I told the empty house. I was dialing Steve’s cell phone and hoping this was one of those times it went right through, because sometimes it took a few tries.
Then it was worse, I heard his phone ringing from somewhere in the house. Of course he had not stopped to grab it, he was after whoever was after Morgan.
According to Steve the car chasing her caught up to her just as they were approaching another deputy up off the side of the road. He wouldn’t say how fast he was going at the time, just that it was as fast as his truck would go. The chase car pulled over alongside the deputy that was already parked and they all had begun to frantically wave him down. He slowed and then slid as he came to a stop alongside them all. Steve pointed at Morgan slowly driving away, apparently she had not seen anything that was going on behind her. Then Steve pointed at the unmarked car as it pulled away and the deputy explained it was one of theirs and they were just being cautious.
Steve said he told them something like too much caution is better than not enough, but all he really remembered was he was shaking pretty badly. He said good night and left the officers. He told me later he realized right then that he didn’t have his phone, as he reached for it to call me – and tell me to relax, everything was fine. He knew I was home trying to call him and there was little to do, but laugh.
I called Morgan later and told her the story, she was so happy that they had done that, said that it made her feel safe. I was thinking how strange it had all turned out and even more strange was how Steve had found it so funny, because it wasn’t. What did they think they were accomplishing by chasing after Morgan? Later on if was even stranger to me when I asked the detective why his undercover officer was chasing Morgan and he insisted that he knew nothing about it and greatly doubted it was one of theirs…how in the world could he say that? I was told by dispatch that it was one of theirs following up on a “tip” and then his own patrol officer told Steve the same thing…who was zooming who?
On November 12, Morgan lounged around the house knitting all afternoon. Then she went babysitting until 9 pm, and came home showered, had dinner, and was in bed by 10 pm. At 11:11 pm Sammy (our next door neighbors little dog) started to bark that bark of his that was a warning bark. Sure enough a motion light came on. I went to watch the feed of Morgan’s camera and Steve was quietly slipping out the back door. I knew he had stopped right in the back corner of the house because I could hear the motion detector, then I saw he just sitting there behind a tree for the longest time. I just hoped he was watching something.
When he finally came back in it was long after everything had stopped, and he told me he heard something, a noise like a sudden exhale. He stood perfectly still waiting for whatever it was to move, or run, but that was it. All he heard was the one noise. And then just like that it was all he could think of…didn’t know where it came from, but he knew the stalker was close by and couldn’t figure out how to catch him.

The tree that was near the house – and offered easy access to the roof – was that tree in view of any of your cameras? I know you didn’t consider the roof as a hiding spot during the incidents, but have you gone back since to scour the area of the tree on all of the surveillance videos?
Now that we know every once in a while you can see the body of the stalker back up just enough for the camera to catch him and when we do it is date and time stamped which is good.
We will – working on it right now
Do you ever plan to release any and/or all video of any slightest glimps of him/them or even the thing he used to tap on the windows? I know you may not be able to at this time, but I would be very interested in seeing them.
It makes me so sad that we are nearing the end of this stalking, and nearing the year anniversary of your daughter’s murder. I hope you take that day to yourselves.
We will – it’s been getting harder and harder every day to push forward. I really thought LE would have done something about this by now but I guess it is going to be a long struggle.
@Kate…it makes me very sad too 🙁
I wish i was near the Ingram’s to comfort them on that day. To go back daily and relive the events that occured is torture!
Has LE ever told you details about these tips they were following?
Never – don’t know why…we assumed it was some top secret thing going on but they never divulged anything like that.
I understand why they couldn’t tell you who gave them the tip but it seems strange that they couldn’t or wouldn’t tell you what it was regarding. Especially if the tip was leading them to believe that Morgan was in danger and in need of a police tail. Maybe that is information you can have now that the investigation has been closed and they refuse to reopen it.
I am also SO confused as to how they were unable to track down K. They knew where he worked and knew the general idea where he lived. They also knew who he was associating with. They could have sat on his place of work or on a friend’s house until he showed up. They could have gone through DMV records. They are the police, they have unlimited resources to use in assisting them to find someone. Did they ever give an explanation of why they were unable to find him?
No, he did come in to the Sheriff’s office the first time with his father, and gave a statement, and after that I am not sure how many times they spoke with him. They never told us why they never found his residence – I guess they never looked. They did go to his place of work to speak with him and they did speak with his manager.
The detective did tell me the 2 days before she was killed that he was worried that things seem to be ramping up. and they would keep patrolling at night, but the night she was murdered our cameras caught much more patrolling, and shining their light by her room like they knew something – but the next morning when she was found dead it was almost like they were worried they would be blamed and they came in as though there was no way anyone could have gotten in our house, no sign of break-in, no sign of sexual assault, no sign of a struggle, no sign of suicide. This is what we were told – we were in shock that our daughter was dead…now we look back on everything and think – how in the hell could they have told us all of that? There were many ways someone could have gotten in, her room did look like there was a struggle, her right hand looked like there were defensive wounds, her panic button was ripped off her nightstand, they never did a rape kit, they never tested the tiny spots on her chest that showed up under the black light, only the first responding officer, and Steve mentioned the red bruise on the right side of her forehead, and on and on. The people that care about Morgan deserve the truth about what happened to her, no matter how hard to awful that truth might be – it will come out, it already has started to.
This just makes me feel sick; I can’t imagine how you must feel. As always, you’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Hey all, if you have not signed the petition to re-open this case, you can do so on the main page, right side…every signature is a testimony in itself!
@Michele thanks for the reminder. It would also be great if everyone can also donate ANY amount to help fund this investigation to seek justice for precious Morgan.
Thanks Luc – since you, and a few other people starting mentioning about the donations on this blog – they are starting to come in even $1 at a time, which is still such a wonderful and appreciated testament to how good and loving people are. People want to help get justice for Morgan and so many are helping to do just that.
Love to you all!
Michele thanks for reminding people – I get so overwhelmed with stuff going on that I forget and i really appreciate the help!
u r welcome Tingram….I will work the petition side …. you focus on finding the truth! XOXO
Can I sign even if I’m in Canada ?
Yes – thanks!
I am sorry that you have to continue to re-live this agonizing story! I’ve been reading daily and this entry has me a little confused. The car following Morgan-turned out to be an innocent bystander? Is that what was meant when you say they pulled up to the parked deputy? Because they were frightened by Steve following them?
Again, I’m terribly sorry for your loss! Thank you for being so strong and sharing your story.
No – they were both Garfield County deputies
Were they using an under cover vehicle?
That must have been scary for Morgan. If Steve was going as fast as his truck could go, it must have been scary for everyone.
It was scary for everyone except Morgan – she didn’t even have a clue, which thinking about it now was not so good.
Maybe you should send a link to Ann Rule, the famous crime writer, since no one from LE is helping it might be worth a try!
XOXO
Why is it the only times they are actually being proactive about her stalker they never inform you guys and then somehow “scold” you for doing your part to try and protect your daughter!!! So frustrating and I’m just reading this!
My thoughts exactly!
i was a friend of morgans for a long time, and during the months of her stalking and her death i was there for her and her family and friends. maybe not always directly, but in spirit and energy, always wishing well and light and comfort.
this is more a message for toni, because i don’t know how to get in touch with you otherwise, and please believe me this is only coming from the pain i have in my heart. this is nothing against you, morgan, or what your family is trying to accomplish. I just want you to be mindful of how much you’re posting on facebook. although i still think about morgan every single day, wishing her well, talking to her, missing her, it’s extremely hard for me to see her blog posts splattered all across mine and those close to morgan’s facebook pages. it makes this process of healing extremely difficult.
i hope you understand where i’m trying to come from. i loved her so much, and i respect that this is the way you have chosen to cope with this tragedy, but i just wanted to say, please be mindful of those who are desperately trying to move on. NEVER forget, but accept and live in her love; what was gained by her presence, not in what was lost in her absence.
I am so sorry if you have been receiving the blog posts and would rather not. Some of her friends want to receive them, because they want to help with the investigation and some have asked me not to send them to them because it hurts too much, so I have taken them off. Please go through this website under contact, and through that you can send me an email to let me know which friend you are, and I will not send you the blog posts. I am so sorry – I know this hurts, but remember we are not doing this as a way to cope with this tragedy – this is extremely hurtful for us on a daily basis, and I wish we didn’t have to do this, but we feel like it is the only way to get her investigation open, and get justice for Morgan (which is what most of her friends have also wanted us to do). It is also a way through Morgan’s stalking and murder to get awareness raised for other victims, which is also happening. Morgan wants other girls saved – this I know. Hiding your head in the sand won’t accomplish that either.
So again, I am so sorry if the blog posts have been getting sent to your FB and upsetting you – please send me an email and I will take you off the list, I have actually verbally asked quite a few of her friends if they would like to be taken off and they have said no, all except one.
Also, please note if you were there during her stalking and death then you probably have important information to share with me – I know people have heard, and do know things about the stalker(s) that were involved, and it would not only be appreciated by us, but also it would be the thing that Morgan would want you to do by contacting me and giving me any information you have. You might not know these things because you wanted to, but knowing them and not telling us will eat at you for the rest of your life – I guarantee it. And I know Morgan would not want that to happen to you – she loved everyone, and still does! Morgan did not deserve any of this and to pretend it didn’t happen won’t make it go away.
Morgan’s friend who posted above may not be able to block this blog’s Facebook posts… Facebook can be strange about blocking and privacy. I blocked a person because of a traumatic past event involving her. I wanted to forget this person even existed. But one day I logged in to Facebook and there were PICTURES of her in my newsfeed!!! Some of my other friends are friends with her, and those friends were tagged in photos with her, so Facebook showed me the photos even though a person I had blocked was tagged in them. Seems crazy to me. I cried and felt sick all morning and then hid that girl’s friends from my newsfeed… I didn’t want to unfriend them so that’s the only solution I could come up with. Sorry to write a novel here, but the point is that even if Toni makes sure this friend is not on the list, the friend will likely keep seeing the blog posts if her friends are getting them.
If the blog post shows up in your newsfeed, anonymous friend of Morgan, and you don’t want to read the post…DO NOT OPEN THE POST. Say a prayer for the family and move on. It seems a bit self-centered to tell Toni that her efforts to find the murderer of her daughter are painful for you. And your suggestion that they “accept and live in her love” is just saying, “let the person(s) who murdered your daughter go on with his life, perhaps going on to ruin someone else’s life, and get on with your life”. I’m guessing you’ve never had a child…
@Mimi j…couldn’t have said it better myself. That was pretty selfish of “anonymous” to even comment like that. The Ingram’s lost their precious daughter.
Amen, Mimi!

*love & light!*
Just for clarification (sorry a lot to take in!)- were any of the previous videos time or date-stamped, or will these be the first? I know that you are so glad to have them as this a positive direction towards catching the guilty partie(s)!
Every camera photo, every video, everything was date and time stamped and we have it – but on the stuff we are putting on the blog it’s not show always – we might be able to fix that part…not sure I will ask Steve.
No don’t do it!!!! The date and time stamp does not change what is being seen. Keep your cards close to your chest. The request may help the accused cover their tracks, fill in the blanks and account for their whereabouts. They will have time for that while awaiting trial!!!! Make sure you get time sheets before releasing, if daddy is Mgr. Times can be altered.
If she thinks she should change it she is probably right! With all due respect, Toni knows a lot about the laws and what’s legal vs illegal and may have reasons behind her choice to release the information. I’m with Toni, the more information she provides the better. It’s great that she answers each and every question on this blog. You never know where the next seed will be planted or what she will find or uncover in this case. Some people would not reveal the names of the suspects or their locations either, but she knows what she’s doing. I know we all wish we could have been there to intervene but she’s got everyone on their toes it seems! Great writing and lots of analytical thinking are paying off here, I feel it.
Anonymous–many people find healing and strength from this blog, those who do not, make a choice to turn away from it. Facebook allows you the option to turn away–perhaps you should take that option.
For Morgan’s Anonymous friend, While I respect your feelings and efforts to try and move on please understand the importance of her parents bringing light to a tragic experience that led to Morgan’s death. Their efforts to solve her Murder is in no way an attempt to prevent you from healing. I would also like to ask that if you are friends with the “others” that you don’t let your loyalty to them cloud your judgement when you may have information that could help solve this case. Rack your brain as the information you have could seem so insignificant to you but could be the link that brings it all together. I’m so sincerely sorry for your loss as well. Good luck and may G-d bless you!
This is probably off topic, but it seems a bit funny to me how ?’s Facebook sort of disappeared… Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t find her anymore.
Were the people following Morgan in an unmarked car? Do you believe this was gang stalking? How many people do you now think were involved? It seems you are uncovering more and more information so thats good. Have you thought about taking the police’s transcripts/recordings of their interviews with the main suspects to the man online, I forgot his name but will look it up if you want, to do a statement analysis? It could be very valuable to you and everyone assosciated, he is able to detect deception in people’s statements! Good luck!
Wow Lulu that would be awesome!
I’m wondering if appearing on The Dr Phil Show could help shed some light on the “none-investigation”. I saw a show recently where a man suspected of murdering a woman came on and took a lie-detector test…failed miserably! The examiner said he should be considered a suspect and the case opened. The woman’s death was deemed a suicide. Naturally, this all made me think of Morgan and wondered if he could help all of you. Someone needs to shine a light on the high level of “suicides” on the record books there!
Did you ever cut the tree down? I hate to point this out now but that’s the first thing that crossed my mind when you mentioned it earlier in your blog. Seems like to me he would have had to find another way up on the roof. And let me preface this by saying how sorry I am for your loss. I too have a 20 year old daughter who has just moved back in with me and would move heaven and earth to protect her. Bless you and your husband and thank goodness for your memories, hang onto them tightly.
We didn’t find out that he was on the roof until after Morgan was murdered and after one more month in that house I told Steve I just could not live there any longer so we moved.
Guess what – news flash a reader just came up with, what I think is a brilliant idea!!! She mentioned that since our house was right behind the ranch the thing the stalker could have used up on our roof (he could have left it up there too at that time) was a lung whip – that would have made the noise on the windows, it would have set off the motion lights and easily hidden. Being a horse person I can’t believe I never even thought of that. So far that clue makes the most sense to me.
No it’s for lunging a horse while training – very long with a very long line at the end. You can probably see it online at an equine store.
