OUR FAMILY – Before A Stalker Stole Our Youngest Child

Posted on by

Another memory found…our oldest daughter had these little cards made before her little sister was stalked & murdered.  They depict Steve & I, our whole family, Dad (Steve), Mom (me), our oldest daughter (Kristin), our son (Ryan), and our youngest daughter (Morgan), then Morgan & I with our dog (Tessi)…we now all have a hole in our hearts, as we no longer have Morgan in our lives.

When someone is violently taken from this world they are not the only victim…there are many victims that still live and suffer because their loved one was taken.  No one can prepare themselves for such a horrific thing. Homicide grief expert Lu Redmond has estimated that there are seven to ten close relatives, not counting significant others, friends, neighbors and co-workers for each victim. Those left behind to mourn are called “homicide survivors” and no amount of justice, restitution, prayer or compassion will bring their loved one back.  https://www.huffingtonpost.com/diane-dimond/getting-away-with-murder_b_117930.html

So when stalking is not taken seriously and ends in the death of the victim – the world for many, has now changed forever…stalking can become violent & lethal. Stalking is a crime and needs to be taken seriously and dealt with quickly, before it becomes lethal.

In the case of our daughter Morgan – this was a “gang” stalking.  There were more than 2 people in a “group or gang” that had targeted her.  We know this now, after all our investigations, and being informed by law enforcement at the highest level in this country.  The 2 “main” stalkers wanted her dead for 2 different reasons, because they were 2 different “types” of stalkers.

  • The Resentful Stalker: an individual motivated by an insult or wrongdoing (real or imagined) to scare or intimidate the target.
  • The Predatory Stalker: the rarest subgroup, these individuals stalk for the purposes of eventual rape or sexual assault.

The lethality of these 2 different “types” of stalker was significantly increased and should have been stopped before the escalation that caused Morgan’s murder.  This is why being informed and raising awareness is of the upmost importance.

  1. The cards are adorable. Did your daughter design / do the artwork ? So much creativity in your family! thanks for sharing, Toni.

  2. Just saw the episode of the Dr. Phil show. My heart goes out to you and your family. I felt Dr. Phil simply minimized the facts surrounding Morgans death. Almost like he was patronizing you. Not to add to your already grief and frustration just wanting you to know I too feel you got your point across. There’s Atleast enough circumstantial evidence to reopen the investigation. Hope law enforcement open their eyes. I pray for the day you can smile when her name is mentioned.

  3. I just came upon your episode of dr.phil and was moved by Morgan’s story. I myself have lived with a resentful stalker and it is a nightmare. I asked Morgan to come to me in a dream (I feel very connected to the spirit world especially through dream ) she brought me to the roof of your house there were three people standing up there a young male and I believe the other two were a male and female.She then brought me to a class room I believe it was mathematics there was an equation on the board. I wish I could’ve seen more but I woke from my alarm going off.I know the pain you feel it’s unbearable. Justice was not served for the blatant wrongs your family had to go through.

    • Oh my goodness – that is amazing! Thank you for sharing. The 3 people you were shown were Brook & James Harris & Keenan Vanginkel – I truly believe that after 6 long years of investigation and doing our due diligence. I still believe Morgan will ultimately receive justice <3
