Today is Saturday and we are looking forward to our niece, Morgan’s cousin coming over on her way back to college, now that the Thanksgiving holiday week is winding down. It’s starting to get really cold now in the mountains – I keep hoping that since we will be going into December soon, the snow will come. stick to the ground, and this stalking will end (footprints show up really well in the snow), we can move, and everything will go back to normal.
This morning at 9:45 am Morgan’s friend B. sends her a text asking what she is up to this evening. He says he gets off work at 5:00 pm and might want to hang out. He tells her their friend T. is in town for Thanksgiving and he will be checking in with him to see what’s up too. Morgan is excited and she asks that he let her know, since everyone may be getting together tonight for a mini reunion. So far it’s been a quiet day – we all just hang out at the house, do laundry and clean up a bit. The dogs crash out on the floor next to the couch while Morgan watches a movie. Then Morgan gets a text from D @ 2:10 pm, “Let’s meet tomorrow then? Call me when u wake up and let’s do this! I so wanna spend time with u girlie!” Morgan texted him back, “I would love that! Will do :)” D texted back, “xoxo! I’m very excited. 🙂 So overdue” Morgan texts, “I agree completely.” Later in the afternoon Morgan leaves to go pick up a friend, and Steve and I head out to the grocery store.
At 6:40 pm I send Morgan a text telling her that her cousin is on the way over to our house, and dad and I are on our way home. I tell her if you’re not home with your friend yet please head home. Morgan sends me back a text saying she knows her cousin is on her way, and that she is already home – she has started to bake a cake. When Steve and I arrive home the music is playing, Morgan and her cousin are in the kitchen waiting for the cake to come out of the oven, and talking as fast as two girls can talk; trying to get in all the updates as fast as they can. It’s so nice to feel the energy in the house. Then Morgan stops to tell me that right after her cousin came in her friend Nathan thought he saw someone through the front door window – he walked outside and looked around, but didn’t see anyone. This was before we got home so we checked the cameras and could see Nathan walk slowly down the driveway, look up and down the street and then go back in the house, but that is all we saw. When our niece was ready to leave we walked her to her car, to make sure she was safe – everyone hugged, and kissed and said goodbye, never realizing that this was the last time the two girls would ever see each other.
Morgan turned to tell us her and Nathan were going out for a little while, and then they would be back at the house together later this evening – she would not be coming home alone so we could go to sleep whenever we wanted, and didn’t have to wait up for her.
Tonight at 10:57 pm (on my timeline, looking back now 11:00 pm seems to be a very popular time for the stalker) there is a loud bang – Morgan had already gotten home, but wasn’t asleep yet. At this time we never realized the stalker was getting on the roof of our house, so of course we checked the cameras on her side of the house, but again, did not see anything. Why didn’t we ever think he was on the roof? I did hear sounds up in the ceiling, but there was a crawl space up there – Steve had been up there when he was installing the cameras, so he said he thought I was hearing a mouse or a bird. The evening started out so nice and now another fitful night…

I know this is hard. Your courage and perseverance is remarkable. What your doing is educating many people while fighting for justice, it’s a win win. Sometimes I feel as if everything is just so hard go on and then one thing drives me forward, my son. I suffer from PTSD and it seems a end is never in sight. I want to tell you i think you are doing a wonderful job writing and sharing your families tragic story. I appreciate the details on how loving and supportive your family was. Thinking of you often.
I am so sorry Jessica – I know exactly how hard PTSD is – we have someone in the family that suffers from that after being attacked years ago. Thanks so much for all of your support – I really appreciate it.
This blog post brings my theory of the perp bring tools to gain access to the crawl space and then eventually your house some credence.
Quite a few people have also written to me with that observation – it is possible, and upsets me very much to even think about it, but I am really trying to keep everyone’s suggestions as ideas for a future investigation into her murder. There are so many things people like you have brought to our attention that I would never have thought of – it’s like having so many wonderful minds helping. Thank you very much
My heart breaks for y’all.. ur family and Morgan’s friends sound amazing! She was a lucky loved girl..
Thank you Roxi!
Hindsight is 20/20….I watched the Dr. Phil on YouTube yesterday, and I was so disappointed. I’ve never cared for him or his show, but I had high hopes that he would, at least, be on your side. It sure didn’t seem that way. And Brooke is such a bad liar. One of my favorite blogs is Statement Ananlysis, and from what I’ve learned from Peter, that girl was LYING. She even changed my mind that she wasn’t actually the killer, because when asked, she could not say the words, “no, I did not kill Morgan.” She could only say that she wouldn’t even know how to do that. Dr. Phil needs to go back to interview school, because he drove me crazy with his compounded questions and allowing her to enter into his language. ( That means instead of letting her tell him that she didn’t stalk, terrorize, or kill Morgan on her own, he asked her to tell him she didn’t. ). I don’t know if that makes sense to you, but if you search Peters blog about letting someoene enter into your language, he explains it much better.) I haven’t been to his blog in a couple weeks, and I’ve wondered if he has given his analysis regarding your case. That’s actually how I found your blog…”someone” had commented off topic after one of his posts, asking him if he had heard of the Morgan Ingram case, and if he had read your blog. She/he said that Morgans mother had started a blog, and there were a lot of inconsistencies in the story, and could he please read it and give his opinion. Well, I googled Morgan Ingram after that and found your blog. I have never thought there were ANY inconsisitencies, so I can only guess that whoever wrote that comment is “one of them.” Thanks to her though, you found one more person that is behind you all the way. ironic.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I saw the Dr. Phil show and felt something was off that Dr. Phil usually questions BOTH sides. On your show he did not question Brooke at all, not really. My question to you is this: Did they have a lawyer that created a situation where Dr Phil could not really question them? Maybe they were being protected so as not to be incriminated??
That was my strong feeling
They did have their lawyer right in the first row sitting there
That’s what I thought. ? had more to say, but was told not to say anything. This means the things she had to say would of incriminated her.
Exactly!! She looked so distracted.
I recorded it. I will watch it again & look to see who she is watching in the front row… I don’t remember them introducing their lawyer.
Dr. PHil edited him out of the show
So why would she need a lawyer if she was innocent?
If a person is innocent, then they’re innocent, the truth doesn’t change! Obviously, this is not the case in her case.
Yes ,your spot on Luc!! Watch it again ,and you’ll see classic facial expressions of deception: Looking down and to the left/right, she did this twice ,Now ,i’ve heard the “Harris'” will attempt an appearance on Tricia’s true crime radio show. Maybe they can hide the Lies better on Radio.
There is a site that basically opposite of this site, I bet it was ? or her family, or K, but it makes you wonder why they would go through such great links to put it up on the web if they were innocent!!
I saw you on Dr Phil too. First of all let me say how very sorry I am for all thst you and your family have gone through.I am wondering why it was never brought to our attention about the torn fingernails and other things that you brought out in your blog about the body. At first I thought you just didn’t want to admit that there was a chance that Morgan actually took her life. But now after reading everything I agree with you that she probably was murdered. I was also wondering why Dr Phil never asked the girl to take a polygraph. Praying thatjustice will be served!
Were her newly french manicured nails her’s or artificial nail tips. If they were not her’s then she was in an altercation with someone for them to have been torned (VERY hard to tear new nails off the day after). I read somewhere that there were 3 nails cut at an angle and I assumed this was by the medical examiner. Can you please clarify that for us, if they were indeed cut at an angle or were they rip off? There would be no doubt to which one it was. Thanks so much and so sorry for your loss.
SF – Her nails, always her own nails. There were 3 nails on her right hand (she was right handed) that were torn or cut at an angle…the Forensic Pathologist told me he did not cut her nails. So now that I have seen from her autopsy she had abrasions on that same hand on the bottom, top and thumb, as well as her wrist I believe they are defensive wounds.
Really because I am reading the report and no where does it say there were any abrasions? nor does it say nails were cut, toenails were painted purple and clear on fingernails?
I know that’s why I had no idea until KDNK got me some more of the autopsy notes – then I saw it. Still trying to get the actual pictures for someone we have to review those wounds. Also, shows an abrasion/burn on the inside of left wrist.
If one watches enough crime shows or speak to those who have dealt with LE then you begin to notice a discrepancy between police reports, eye witness accounts (which, psychology/ists repeatedly say can only be so reliable), evidence and victim statements. Sadly, while by and large I am a huge supported of the police, I believe that because of the justice system their reports contain just enough detail but also remain vague enough to CYA when necessary. It’s almost like a doctor – they will not give a 100% prognosis because they can not guarantee lest they want to be sued should that outcome not occur.
I just saw an episode of Disappeared on ID where a mother recounted just how much a police report omitted facts and information about events from the night her daughter vanished, including statements from officers. It very much reminded me of this case.
Additionally, reports available to the public are not always complete. What you can obtain online is very usually just a snippet/summary of a report. Further notes and the like can, I’m certain, be obtained but there are in person methods and often hoops to jump through to get them.
There is always more information out there than a google search can produce. Sometimes old fashioned investigating needs to be done – not just internet searching like it seems a lot of debunkers are trying to do in order to discredit the Ingrams and facts, information or events that have been brought up.
The biggest glaring discrepancy I can see/call out is: If there was never any evidence of a Stalker, then why was the case elevated to a Felony Stalking case? Why waste department time and money on investigating something that apparently wasn’t true. The police don’t do that – they don’t coddle the public. Sorry, I don’t care what county, city or state you live in, but money is money and wasting it just to make someone feel good just doesn’t happen.
It’s true, and it’s so sad all at the same time. I am encouraged, because I know there are people out there in LE that do want to open this case and the time will be soon. I am also so happy with this blog, no matter what others say because, you the readers have led us in amazing directions that have yielded amazing evidence that will someday be critical in a criminal case…so to that all I can say is evil can only exist when good people don’t stand up and do something about it, but this blog has reached so many good people, from so many walks of life, and so many of you have given us invaluable help – I can never thank you enough! Love, Toni
I am in shock that with those injures LE would not launch an investigation. It’s quite scary there was sooo much incompetence going on with LE and autopsy. You have a right to see those autopsy photos. My brother died recently and we didn’t have any trouble getting his autopsy photos. The guy that walks back and forth in your driveway, has anyone reconized him yet from being on national tv? The way he walked with one hand in his pocket I would think someone in your area would know who he was.
We do know who he is and so do a lot of people after seeing that photo – he is K’s best friend.
Thanks Judy.
Thanks Judy – the Dr. Phil show was heavily edited so you didn’t get to see or hear a log. And I do have a lot of evidence that I don’t feel comfortable putting out because if this goes to a criminal trial that particular evidence will be crucial to keep close to the vest at this time. And I believe Dr. Phil was unable to give her a polygraph test because her lawyer was sitting in the front row making sure she didn’t criminally implicate herself.
Toni have you tried emailing 9new investigative reporters? [email protected] theres the email of one of the reporters!
It seems there are several times during the stalking that there were friends at the house that heard the noises as well as just Mom, Dad and Morgan. Were these friends ever interviewed by LE?
Not that I know of – I have a very large list of people that were not interviewed, but I hope will be when an investigation is opened, as they have critical information.
I sent you a tip and I looked further into the item I suggested…now I see they even sell them at sears and some of them have lights. You said sometimes you would see a light that you thought was a cell phone or something, maybe it was that with the lights. Explaining how when Steve wasnt able to see him after running outside that the stalker was crouching, still on the roof or even standing with his back up against a tree but still observing Steve while he remained unnoticed…? I feel like this is a horrible event happening in real time and if youre able to figure it out the outcome will be different. Im pissed! Please know that after years of dealing with felons one thing is always certain…at some point they f*** up. That isnt any comfort for your unimagineable loss but someday, sometime….they are never as clever as they give themselves credit for. <3 Demi
Demi – OMG that would have even caused the tapping and scratching and the light that we saw…you are amazing to have figured this out…we so appreciate it. Thanks for helping!
What is Demi suggesting?
It is an extendable mirror.
Don’t be mistaken ? will be held accountable for her actions. She is an evil, miserable and sick individual. I know deep in my soul she will be behind bars along with her sketchy father and ex-boyfriend. Oh and lets not forget about her friend she met in rehab, HH. It will take time but the TRUTH will be told. It disgusts and at the same time saddens me that people like ? are in this world. I hope she burns in hell for what she did to Morgan and morgans family.
Is there a way to see the Dr. Phill episode? I couldn’t find it?
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=QBiIEPwOYlY&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DQBiIEPwOYlY
Here is where you can watch the Dr. Phil show on YouTube. I can not stand how he does not question Brooke or her Father more thoroughly.
I kept thinking the same thing. And who says “where’s the proof” if you’re innocent? She should’ve been empathetic with Toni and apologize repeatedly for any misunderstanding. Well, eventually somebody will slip up! Then Toni can be present at every parole board hearing so these creeps stay incarcerated for the remainder of their selfish lives!
Demi,
In some ways punishment has already begun. ? & her Father now live in fear ever since the blog has been created they state. Ha! Like Toni said, this is just an informative site. They are being way dramatic. This is in no comparison what what the Ingram’s have gone through & most of all Morgan. When they made that remark & played “victim” I thought immediately, “you reap what you sow.”
Demi and you better believe when it comes to that I will be at every parole board hearing and I will be extremely vocal!
Toni, I’ve read where you’ve addressed the issue of someone possibly poisoning Morgan before she came home and you said she was fine. Perhaps the reason she had so many different drugs in her system was that they had attempted to give her something earlier in the week…? You said she wasn’t feeling great and Lord knows I sure wouldn’t after being terrorized but maybe that had something to do with her feeling a little off. There’s no doubt in my mind they somehow had access inside your home. Did Morgan always leave her bathroom light on ? Idk why I find that odd? After years in my profession I’ve learned to try and think like a criminal…I’m sure you understand, it’s not the way we naturally think. But if I wanted to get back out of a house without waking anyone I certainly wouldn’t want to trip or stub my toe in the dark.
Demi – there are people that believe she was poisoned before that night, and that is why she was not feeling well. She always had a water bottle with her everywhere she went and now looking through her videos and pictures on her computer I can see her water bottle left all by itself on a couch next to someone and she is not in the picture, obviously because she is running around taking the pictures, but triggered a thought in my mind was – if she is running around taking pictures and her water bottle is left somewhere anyone could slip something in to the water…
Morgan never ever left her bathroom light on – she couldn’t sleep with the light on, and she had told me whenever she had a light on to read at night, it seemed to attract more noise on her windows, so she tried to keep her lights off as much as possible. The light being on was a huge red flag for me, and I begged the detective to please interview our next door neighbor, because he wanted to tell them on the record that the light was off when he returned home at 12::30 am and the light was on when he left for the airport at 4:45 am, but the detective never interviewed him. It makes me so angry that we have people trying to help get the truth out and law enforcement doesn’t want the truth. I know Morgan isn’t the only victim this happens to – I have now heard from so many others, but that is what has to change – this can’t continue into the future.
How can people sit back and see she was being stalked and then she was found dead and they can honestly say there is no connection between the two? No need to investigate at the death scene for a possible murder…it boggles my mind!
Your observations are so extremely helpful – I really appreciate them.
It’s late but I’m brainstorming…. Ok the PJ’s she had on for bed weren’t in her room right? I’m sorry to ask but I think it’s extremely relevant, was she redressed in something different? And why? Well first they’re sickos but 2) and most important might be the DNA they thought they’d left. Maybe they had A) been bit while trying to hold her mouth open and the blood wasn’t Morgans in her mouth…? And any additional drops maybe wound up on her pjs hence the reason to get rid of them? Also maybe shed managed to defend herself by scratching the perp and them cutting her nails was their way of removing tissue from under her nails. What young women gets a pedi and ruins them by later the same day? Remember how when our kids are infants and trying to get a shirt or jacket off a sleeping baby, wed hold their wrists and try to manuever the article off or on? the mark on her wrist coincide with her wrist being held tight? And I’m wondering did “E” have girls? Ill bet if he’s involved the girls would be a wealth of info. I would also bet that at least one party is still in possession of something belonging to Morgan. Where any of the drug distribution charges brought against the owner of the green car the same narcs found in Morgans system? Ok it’s late and I just ran off with ideas. Try and sleep well. <3 Demi
Yes he did have girls and no the drugs found in K’s car (as far as I know from the newspaper report) were not the same drugs. He was charged with felony distribution at that time.
That is exactly what I thought, who says..”where’s the proof”. Almost anyone that was accused of murder and didn’t do it would be crying and saying stuff like, I didn’t do it and I will do whatever it takes to help you with this investigation, and be really upset. She just sat there and looked at her neighbors and said with no remorse “Where’s the proof?” seems guilty to me. Even the Dad had a smirk on his face when asked about the keys. Nothing was funny and you could see him smirking.
Ginger – I try so hard not to think about what was done to Morgan – every day I hear and see more, and more, and it takes a lot for me not to hate, but I won’t, because I know this can all be done with love and patience. Morgan will get justice – this is a hard path because there are so many people in this world that do hate, but I believe this can be accomplished the “right” way, the “legal” way. Thanks so much for your support!
You are right.
I don’t know how you do it. You are a better person than I. You defiantly have much support.
I am sure I am not a better person than you – we are very blessed to have so much support and I really can’t imagine going forward without it. I really appreciate and thank all the readers of this blog that have helped give me courage to keep moving in a positive direction!
I agree…Toni ( and Steve) have the patience of a Saint. I can’t imagine losing a child, losing a child in this manner, and then having to endure what these two parents are enduring for justice! It would literally cause me to go mad.
But then, I think about why you are doing it, Toni. And I understand. I know this is no comparison, but in Feb. of 09 I was diagnosed with AML ( leukemia.) I have three boys, and if it weren’t for them, (and my husband!) I don’t know how I could have made it through some of the things I did. But I guess when it involves your children, we can do anything! I think of and pray for your family daily, Toni.
have attys for the people you feel murdered Morgan contacted you at all? Do you have someone to help you if they do?
Toni,
Have you checked out her Camera? Is it a digital camera or the type you have to get the film developed? If flash can you tell if the memory stick was replaced or missing? I’m thinking the perp dressed her to take pictures of her. His TROPHY
I just had a chance to read the police reports, and WOW, it is so much to take in. I am truly heartbroken for you and your family. I read that other than Morgan arriving home and you moving the car in the morning there was no activity found on the cameras. Is it possible that there is video footage that LE has not taken their precious time to watch yet to help put all of the pieces of this devastating puzzle together yet?
Toni~
I am sure once the Governor of Colorado or any other official offers a BIG reward for info leading to an arrest, alot of there drug addict friends (more drugs to afford) will come forward in a heart beat. Here in Los Angeles, when a govt official is contacted for help with stuff like this, the first thing they do is offer a significant reward and that resolves everything. Money talks, Bullsh** walks always!!!
I’ve been following your story for what seems like forever yet I’m sure it’s even longer in your mind, since your beautiful daughter was taken from you nearly a year ago. The coming of that anniversary must be a troubling one for you and your family, for so many reasons but mostly because the monsters who did this are still out there and possible hurting someone else.
My heart breaks for you every day for your loss, and the sorrow and sadness you must be feeling. If only each of us that love and care about you could help carry the burden of your pain by walking just one moment in your place, you might be able to have one day when the light of love shines through.
How you manage to remain so focused and so clearly dedicated is beyond my depth of understanding. I, myself, don’t feel that I’d ever be strong enough to do what you are doing every day in the sake of your daughter’s name. I’d be lost and broken. You are an idol for those facing hardship and pain.
I hope you find comfort knowing that there are so many of us who do care, who do believe and who do want Justice for Morgan. The people who did this deserve to suffer and see what it felt like to be Morgan, as they face the world around them and see that they didn’t fool anyone.
They will get caught. They will pay for their crimes. They will face the ulitmate maker, and He will choose their fate.
Good luck on your journey of hope and good luck seeking justice. Keep knocking on doors and pounding the keyboard – someone will start to listen and WAKE UP soon and see that the answers are right in front of them! Keep pushing for answers – they ARE out there and SOMEONE knows the truth. The truth will previal! Someone will start to talk, I’m sure of that. I feel it in my heart. If only I could share that feeling with you!
God bless you in your fight. May His guiding light and steady hand lead you on the path of JUSTICE!!
Judy – you are so correct…it is getting harder and harder, but with support like yours it keeps us going and we will not stop. I do feel like justice is coming – it might be a little while longer, but I feel the tide changes and the universe shifting and good things will be coming about soon, peoples prayers have been heard. Thank you!
Sometimes the road has to be hard to see the rewards! It’s painfully obvious that you’re 100% invested in telling this story regardless of what people think. How you’ve managed to keep to delicatley balanced between pushing the envelope and falling through the cracks is truly inspiring. I’d have crumbled under the pressure ages ago, and probably would have had to be committed to a psych ward with a rubber room and a straight jacket! You really are a trooper!
Many others would have melted into a psychotic breakdown, yet you keep marching on! The drum beats on, and you keep fighting! There are so many who support you!!
For those that are questioning the motives of Toni and her family, take a moment to sit back and think about how you would feel if this were your daughter, your sister, your friend. What lengths would you go to, to find the answers you need to create your own inner peace? Would you go on this long, feeding the information carefully and thoughtfully? Would you push this hard to seek the answers that no one else can provide?
All I can say is that there is a truth out there. It will come forward. The truth will be crystal clear one day and the responsible party(ies) will be held accountable!! There are still so many unanswered questions, so many stories to wade through and so many truths to seek!
God bless you and God bless TEAM MORGAN!!
Bless you Judy and God bless TEAM MORGAN! I agree. Thanks for then love.
Toni, I so agree with Judy. Justice will come, I AM A PROUD MEMBER OF “TEAM MORGAN” Love you!! Bless you, and hope you have a good Thanksgiving!!! XOXO
Tammy – you are such a sweetheart! Thank you 🙂
Toni, I am moved by the support you are getting here and an very glad you started this blog. You deserve all the help yiu can get as this tremendous loss is the hardest thing in life to face. I am in a bad situation and am afraid of my ex that he will harm my child. Can you tell me how to start a blog? I would like to start an anonymous blog to find advice and support. Thank you.
Heidi I had absolutely no idea how to start one but I read all about Word Press and I am very happy so far with using them. I would suggest though getting your own server to put it on instead of using there server. Let me know if you have any questions about it after you have started. There are so many agencies you might be able to seek help from – email me any questions you might have through the website and then we can talk without being on this blog…it’s more private.
