As you all know our youngest daughter Morgan was stalked for 4 months while in college and living at home with her dad and I. We lived through the stalking with her, so I know it was horrific. I was frightened the whole time for Morgan’s safety, as her stalker kept escalating no matter what deterrents we produced. The Garfield County Sheriffs had a suspect, and told me they were 100% sure this person was her stalker. Morgan had identified him multiple times, our cameras caught pictures, they had interviewed him, and were planning on picking up his work hours to overlay them on my timeline of the stalking incidents, but she was murdered 4 days before that was to happen.
The morning I found our youngest daughter’s body I knew deep in my soul that she had been murdered. My mind didn’t want to believe it, but the way her body looked, the position it was in, and the condition of her room, there was no denying to me that something had gone on involving a struggle and foul play. Garfield County Detective Robert Glassmire told us that very morning that her death had “no connection” with her felony stalking case, and immediately “red flags” went up for me. This was just 3 days after he told me to my face that he believed the stalking was going to “escalate.” He could not have known at that time if her death had nothing to do with her stalking, I had been so trusting of the sheriff’s department (I have always respected law enforcement), and didn’t want to believe they weren’t on our side. I was in shock at the time, but I “felt” something was terribly wrong, and now almost 3 years later with all the evidence and facts that we have accumulated (and tried to share with the sheriffs) the only question I have remaining is why has Morgan’s manner of death has never been changed to reflect the truth, and why is there no investigation into her murder?
Over the months, and years of pursuing the truth about our daughter’s death I now know for a fact that she was murdered, and she did not die a fast, or easy death – she was frightened, and tortured. Morgan was gentle, loving and kind, she did not deserve to die like this. Families should be treated with dignity and respect, which we were not. Families need to know the truth, and not have their loved ones forgotten under a veil of threats and lies – this is outright re-victimization of the family. Other victims of stalking need to see that law enforcement will take them seriously so they don’t end up dead like Morgan and then swept under the rug.
I live with the pain of the loss of my youngest daughter every day, and night. The pain is indescribable, and made worse by the fact that my husband and I have to relive her stalking, and murder every single day that we work on getting her case opened all by ourselves. It is something no family should have to endure, but we had no choice because someone had to do an investigation, someone had to find the answers, and assemble the evidence, and law enforcement refused to do so. When you love someone so deeply you can not just step aside and let their memory disappear into a morass of lies and untruths.
As my husband said, “The truth will always be vigorously disputed by some, the criminals and their accomplices. The erectors and maintainers of the great big blue wall behind which such truth now hides. Her bravery and suffering must be respected at some point, her honor restored. To date I have watched as lies pile upon lies and egos rule the day. It is no wonder that murders go on within Colorado where such obvious lies can go on unabated, and it so deeply saddens my heart to have watched this happen.”
What I really want people to know besides my own feelings is that Morgan had many family members, as well as friends that loved her deeply and have been profoundly affected by her murder and non-investigation by the sheriffs. All of these people have suffered and are still suffering and are co-victims in my opinion – they deserve answers. Now that I have gotten that off my chest I would like to give you this link so you can read the interview that Joe Valo did with Rainer Jundt about Morgan. Rainer is included in the ever growing list of co-victims – read for yourself just one person’s reality of how Morgan’s passing has affected him. http://josephvalo.us/2014/07/exclusive-interview-with-rainer-junt-by.html?spref=tw
You want to make changes. They are LEO can virtually demand records at drop of hat. They should have had those shift hours Faxed TO THEM AT ONCE. Add that to your list. If they will chase someone’s iPhone from Busch gardens to a duplex in the hood…yesh I hope you get mad again. At them not me, of course. Love to you both you’re a steamroller baby… or they try to make you feel like you are but you are just a mom grieving her heart out but this is a realistic change you could ask for and add that to the list of ways you’re going to make this count.
Joe valo… I’ve heart of him… But can’t remember where
