MORGAN HAD BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES – BUT THAT IS NOT THE EYE COLOR THE PATHOLOGIST, DR. ROBERT KURTZMAN, WROTE ON HIS REPORTS. HOW DID HE GET HER EYE COLOR WRONG AND NEVER CORRECT IT WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO HIS ATTENTION? – something as simple as her eye color…
WHY DIDN’T HE MENTION, AND TEST, THE “SPOTS” SEEN UNDER THE UV LIGHT ON HER CHEST? These “spots” were mentioned in the police report and the First Responders said it wasn’t from anything they used on her when they took over. What good is using a light to scan a possible crime scene for bodily fluids, if the light detects things, and those things are ignored and never tested…how does this make any sense? Is this called investigating and following where the evidence leads? I think not even close – why are possible crime scenes investigated by untrained people without any clue about a proper crime scene protocol?
HOW COULD THE PATHOLOGIST NOT BE SUSPICIOUS OF THE “ABRASIONS” AND “BROKEN NAILS” ON MORGAN’S RIGHT HAND, WRIST, AND BREAST, AS WELL AS THE WOUND ON HER FOREHEAD, AND INJECTION MARK ON THE INSIDE OF HER ARM? The crime scene photos, taken by the Deputy Coroner, clearly show this evidence, but the pathologist just glanced over it – I guess it didn’t fit his personal “speculation.” The forensic pathologist, working for the coroner, in the state of Colorado at that time was the person responsible for the investigation of the crime scene, as well as the autopsy. He ignored all evidence, did not want any information from Morgan’s doctors, or family or other forensic medical examiners, ignored the scientific evidence from her toxicology reports and refused to fix all the mistakes he made on his reports.
HOW COULD HE NOT BE SUSPICIOUS OF THE “ABRASIONS” AND “BROKEN NAILS” ON HER RIGHT HAND – These would normally be considered all obvious signs of a struggle. What about the injection mark, with what looks like a bite mark over it, on the inside of her arm? How the hell can he ignore that when she had a date rape drug “amitriptyline” in a massive amount (10x’s what would have killed her) in her blood – the amount that would have been in a vile at the ranch behind our house that “they” had access to, enough for a 1,200 lb. horse!
Why didn’t the pathologist, Dr. Robert Kurtzman, do a rape kit on Morgan to make sure she wasn’t sexually assaulted? Her pants were unzipped and unbuttoned and there was visible liquid on her pants, that even the First Responders wrote about – and yet no mention of this is in the pathologist’s reports, and he told me over the phone, that he is not allowed to do a rape kit unless the sheriffs tell him to do so. And he is the one, according to Colorado law, responsible for the investigation. Crazy – I know – infuriating and true!
Morgan was a young woman, killed during an active investigation into her felony stalking, and her death was called “suspicious” so she was taken to this pathologist, Dr. Robert Kurtzman, for an autopsy, and he doesn’t even test under her nails, not even where the nails are torn at an angle, doesn’t even do a rape kit, even though her pants are unzipped and unbuttoned, and clearly show no evidence of being on her body when she died, and her lividity became set (lividity shows she was dressed some time after death).
This all adds up to a staged crime scene, where her body was moved postmortem. They could see from the frozen position of her bent legs and arms that she had not died lying flat down, or on a bed lying on her side – her body had been moved after it had frozen into the position she died in. Body of proof. Crime scene 101 – if you see evidence that the body has been moved, then someone else moved it…bodies do not move on their own.
The forensic pathologist, Dr. Robert Kurtzman, engaged in pure speculation – not scientific or medical certainty, as he is tasked to do – no, he botched Morgan’s autopsy, intentionally, or out of laziness, and ego, allowing her to never have an investigation into her suspicious death…but “suspicious” death was the reason her body was brought to him for an autopsy in the first place!
I know some people don’t like to hear that – it’s upsetting and scary. But no amount of candy-coating, from people that do not want her death to be investigated, can change that fact. Morgan still needs, and can receive justice for what was done to her.
All the evidence needed for Morgan’s case to become a homicide investigation was right there, the morning of her murder, for the sheriffs to see and collect, but they did not collect it, they did not write what they actually observed in their reports – they did nothing, but attempt to minimize an obvious murder scene. And I do not really believe that all the officers that were there that morning were all on board with this cover-up. I think they did not want to go along with it, but they were given no choice and it has been eating them up ever since. See how the ripple effect comes into play and there becomes so many lives altered from just one heinous act.
The forensic pathologist, Dr. Robert Kurtzman, got nothing right…unless typing that Morgan was a 20-year-old female. REMEMBER HE COULDN’T EVEN GET HER EYE COLOR CORRECT ON HIS REPORT!!!
AND I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THINGS THAT WERE NOT DONE, THINGS THAT WERE NEVR MENTIONED…HORRIFYING THAT OUR DAUGHTER’S AUTOPSY WAS LEFT UP TO A PATHOLOGIST THAT DID NONE OF THE REQUIRED PROCEDURES, INSTEAD HE ENGAGED IN PURE SPECULATION, NOT SCIENTIFIC OR MEDICAL CERTAINTY – all adding up to our daughter Morgan not receiving justice yet, and murderer(s) remaining free to reoffend.
This is a true American horror story, and it needs to end now. Morgan needs her case investigated, she needs justice and I feel for the other families who have lost loved ones in Montana, where Dr. Kurtzman is now performing autopsies.
– Morgan needs justice because justice is a RIGHT –
How dreadful. What color did he list her eyes? They are very obviously a distinct blue. I am so sorry for your sadness.
Deborah her eyes were blue, and he wrote grey…just one small thing out of all the huge incorrect statements he wrote in his documentation – he missed major things he should have found at autopsy, things that are know to have been on, and in her body, but he didn’t – in every walk of life there are great people, but some unethical, uneducated and dangerous people…you never know who you will end with 🙁
Many blatant errors on Cameron Collin’s autopsy reports and inconsistencies. Eg saying “no Wischnewski spots, a finding that may be associated with hypothermia, were not present”. Then Kurtzman goes on to say “use may cause hypothermia (elevated body temperature) and caused the decedent to deliberately enter the water.” Conclusion: accidental drowning, no trauma to the body which doesn’t explain all the blood found on the neckline and left side of body. Plus there was NO water in lungs.
Kurtzman just makes this stuff up as he goes along. He obviously did the same with your daughter Morgan’s murder.
We are also dealing with a narcissistic Sheriff who has been diagnosed with a medical condition but is refusing to step down from office and refusing to look at new evidence.
Again i am so sorry we are in the same boat..” No justice in the murder of a child”
We have found some new forensic tools here in Canada that might help in Morgan’s truth. Please contact through email on this submission to your website.
My heart breaks for you too. I will email you. I have had many other families contact me about Kurtzman and the outrageous scientifically & medically impossible conclusions he has come up with about their loved ones manner of deaths. I have some information I can give you as well. We have not given up and you should not either. Thank you so much for writing in to me…you will hear from me soon. Tomorrow is Morgan’s birthday – she would be 29 years old, but because of her stalker/murderer she will always be my sweet 20-year-old baby.
