Sometimes silence is golden, but there are other times, however, when silence is not “golden”. It may be just plain “yellow” or cowardly in such instances! To remain silent at times when one should speak up is to be guilty of cowardice and results in a failure to do one’s duty. It all depends upon the circumstances. (I did not write that, someone else did, but when I read it I knew it explained my feelings, so I had to share)
In the case of Morgan’s murder we now have scientific verification that she was murdered, we have had some people come forward to give us information, but the sad thing is there are so many people, and yes, young adults that knew Morgan, and also know the people involved in her stalking, and murder that have not come forward. Whether it is because they think they might be in danger themselves, or they might think they could be implicated in some way, or if they just think they don’t want to get involved…it really doesn’t matter what the reason is it is still just plain old cowardice.
Morgan loved everyone – she was so kind and giving to everyone, and all that knew her understand what I am saying. Morgan deserves more than this – Morgan deserves, and wants her “friends” and others that knew her to come forward, and tell what they know, even if it is just a “little” thing. Wouldn’t you want to help Morgan? Arresting, and convicting are two different things, there is always a better case to be built, and right now there are a few little pieces that would be very key for Morgan’s case. Everyone I have spoken with in this valley has assured me that there are people here that know things, and that I should have a Private Investigator go interview everyone to get the answers, I may do that, but I truly believe in the goodness that people have down deep in their souls, and I want to give them the chance to “do the right thing” on their own first. That is why I am writing this post today…to give people the chance to do the right thing on their own. It would be nice to have those last few facts that are still floating around out there.
On the top of this page we have a tip line – it is on the drop down under visit Morgan Ingram.com, and also located at the bottom of every page on the website www.morganingram.com…all you have to do is click on the tip line link, and you will go to a form that you can send in with any information – you can be anonymous, or tell us who you are and how to contact you. No one but Steve and I can view these tips, and when they come in we will send them to (not the Garfield County Sheriff’s) an agent who is maintaining strict confidentiality, unless granted the permission to do otherwise. We are aware of the threats flying around the valley. Morgan would have never backed down because of a threat and Steve and I have a very real fear that this is going to happen again to someone else if we do not get justice for Morgan and the perpetrator is put behind bars so please, please, please help Morgan and others by coming forward.
Obadiah condemned some people in his day because they stood by and watched the enemies destroy some of their brethren. God’s prophet accused them of “violence against thy brother Jacob”. He told them that “shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off forever.” Obadiah told them when and why they had done that for which they were condemned – “On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth, and foreigners entered his gate and cast lots for Jerusalem – you too were as one of them.” By failing to help their brethren in their plight, Obadiah says of them that they were even as one of the enemies. In the same way today we can be as “one of the enemies” of God’s saints. (Again I thought I should share this, I did not write this paragraph, but it also explains through the Bible why people should stand up and do the right thing if they want to be good people, and not be on the same level as the criminals that do horrible things to others.
