When Morgan was growing up she only wanted to see the good in people…she was not naive by any means, but she was a kind and gentle soul, and was very trusting of people. She wanted to see only the beauty in the world, so she did ignore the dark side, she thought by staying away from sketchy people she would be able to avoid their dark side. I only wish now that I could have shown her, that in reality evil people that are capable of doing horrible things, things like were done to her, do live among us, and they do sometimes look like our neighbors, and they can still cause great harm…
Ponder this for a moment. More than 211,000 homicides that have been committed since 1980 remain unsolved – a body count greater than the population of Des Moines, Iowa. That figure is not readily apparent in the U.S. Department of Justice’s annual estimate of killings considered cleared through arrest, but if you do a little digging you will read that Scripps News reveals it. And the sad truth is that homicides are less likely to be solved today than they were 40 years ago. So unlike the TV shows that are so popular today – you know the ones that show murder cases solved in 60 minutes – in reality that does not happen very often – in fact if it does happen it is front page news.
There are states that don’t even report their homicide statistics to the federal government so those numbers are not in the statistics. In fact, in 2015 a serial murderer was finally arrested…he had been actively killing since the 1990’s. Now that is the reality that this country faces. We need law enforcement agencies and all states to accurately report their homicide cases and we need a national database so we can have a fighting chance of catching these monsters.
Our beautiful, sweet Morgan was then gone without a case – a victim that died during an active felony stalking investigation, her death said to be a mystery the day she died by the sheriffs, and yet there was NO actual investigation other than a autopsy with false information, false information that was never corrected when brought to the coroner’s attention. So Morgan’s murder is not even a number in the cold case statistics, but the evidence proves she was murdered, so how many REAL cold case murders are there in this country? It could be even more staggering than the statistics show.
I believe this is how murderers get away with murder, and this is why we have so many unsolved cold cases in this country – with the number growing greater every year. And don’t think for one moment in time that all murderers are older, creepy looking men…no, they come in all ages, genders, and looks. They can even be the innocent looking teenage girl down the street.
Hello Look up and write Aphrodite Jones….she investigates thoroughly and always comes up with the truth. She had her own show at one time and also is a true crime novelist. I believe you will find your answers through her. She is really good! She likes to take cases such as yours. I had a dream she found the truth for Morgan. I hope you read this… God Bless you and your family!
Cindy – Thank you so much for the wonderful suggestion. I promise I will try to reach out to Aphrodite. Hugs!
Dear Toni,
I have read through most of your blog today after finding a post on reddit’s unresolved mysteries sub directing to it. (Well, I’ve read the stalking section, I should say – I haven’t had the heart to read the “investigation” section, yet.) I just wanted to say I am heartbroken for you. Literally just spent the last few minutes crying, with my cats looking at me like I am insane. It just seems like more and more these days we see this kind of gross in justice in this world, and it completely shatters me.
Have you ever been able to figure out WHY it seems like the stalker is being protected by everyone? Is he just that manipulative? Is there some sort of connection between him and the sheriff or some other political body in your county? I was so enraged at one point that I searched his name on facebook, and saw that his mother has a maiden name of quite some power on the East Coast – is that it?
The only suggestion I have, besides staying strong and continuing the fight, is to contact the Vidocq Society. http://www.vidocq.org/ I don’t know if they can help you or not. To me, it seems pretty cut and dry what happened, it just doesn’t seem to be too clear on why justice has not been served.
I wish you the best of luck and my deepest sympathy – Morgan was a unique and precious spirit!
Jennifer thank you for writing in and for your passionate words. Yes, I can say that from our due diligence over the past 4 years we DO believe there is a connection and no the Vidocq Society can not get involved. Not that they wouldn’t like to. I did speak with them over the phone and they are amazing people, but they are only allowed to get involved if law enforcement invites them in and in Morgan’s case, because that is the last thing Garfield County Sheriffs want, they will NEVER be invited in. The sheriffs in Morgan’s case has had a major clamp down on anyone coming in to investigate. They do not want her murder revealed or solved. Thank you for you wonderful wishes. I really do believe she will get justice because we are their worst nightmare…we will never give up and we do have a road map as to what needs to be done.
Also, I so greatly appreciate your kind words about Morgan. I love her unique and precious spirit so much – and it does hurt deeply and daily not having her with us.
