Penny Tapping…is this what was making the sound on our windows?
It has been almost 3 years now since Morgan’s death, and after so many scenarios about what was being used by Morgan’s stalker(s) to make the tapping sound on our windows…the sound that would startle and create fear, I have now received a message from one of our followers that would explain the noise perfectly, especially if it had been a quarter instead of a penny. It is still so amazing to me that when so many people, from so many walks of life, with different life experiences, get involved, they can provide such diverse information, which will lend a whole new visual to a situation. This is why putting out all this information is so important to me – I know it will help others that may be dealing with a similar situation.
The follower wrote: “I was following your blog quite intensely at the beginning, but I need to catch up. I have had something on my mind and I wanted to tell you. When I was reading about the tapping on Morgan’s window and found out he was on the roof, I was telling my husband about it and he told me about “Penny Tapping” Have you heard about it? Maybe that is what he was doing?”
I was stunned when I read this. I looked it up on the Internet, and sure enough there was lots of information about “penny tapping.” We know the stalker was up on our roof, our windows went all the way up to the roof just under the eaves, so it would have been easy for Morgan’s stalker to lie on his stomach on the roof, dangle fishing line over the edge and swing the penny, or quarter, or whatever he used to smack the window, and at the same time our cameras would never have picked up an image on the ground! This was such an amazing thing to read about – I had no idea, and neither did anyone else…except maybe the stalker(s).
The roof had been his perfect hiding spot after the sheriffs had found his footprints under the windows up against our house. From up on the roof he could see for miles around, and would have been able to see the sheriffs driving up to our house, whereas they would not have been able to detect him.
So today, almost 3 years later I am still shocked at the information that I have received from so many wonderful readers of this blog. Information that would never even have occurred to me. This is why I believe that stories should be shared. I believe that local crimes, along with any pertinent information about those crimes will help to keep others safe. Raising awareness of crimes is important, and they should be posted in the local media. Local law enforcement has an opportunity to have more eyes, and ears on the ground in order to help catch a perpetrator if they only would share information about current ongoing crimes. If families are aware of a situation happening in their neighborhood, or town then they will be better equipped to protect their families. And that is all any of us want!
Justifiably Disturbed by Gangstalking…an educational site to read
This was on a link sent to me by a supporter…I didn’t put the link here for many different reasons, but thought it was a really good piece that should be seen by others and sometimes if you just put down the link people don’t click on it. It is educational and is helping to raise awareness. I appreciate any and all positive and educational information that I can pass on to others about stalking. This is the picture from their site…and here is what they have to say. I greatly appreciate them commenting – please read and learn.
Gangstalking is difficult to understand if it isn’t happening to you. If you consider yourself a skeptic, get informed. There are no INFORMED SKEPTICS. My mission is to make the incredible, credible and to help you to know the truth when you see it. Truth really is stranger than fiction.
Stalking is a Seriously Disturbing Crime
There is nothing small or insignificant about the crime of Stalking. It is not a victimless crime. Quite the contrary; in stalking a victim is the focus of the crime. Stalking impacts victims in a ways that may not leave visible scars, like a physical assault, but it can be every bit as damaging. Stalking should be treated as a felony in a court of law. It is an attempt to terrorize another person and ultimately control them. It is much more than the sum of its parts. It is a campaign of aggression and hostility, which clearly demonstrates a single-minded premeditated INTENT to cause harm, and distress, severely disrupting the life of another person. That kind of criminal behaviour is deserving of felony charges. Treating it as a misdemeanor doesn’t do it justice. Stalking wasn’t even a crime until the 1990’s and the law may need a bit longer to catch up. The stories of Stalking Victims are the best way to convey how deadly serious the crime of Stalking is.
Unless you have been gangstalked, mobbed or even relentlessly stalked and/or continually harassed by an individual, it is hard to understand how disturbing it is and how it alters your life. There is a blog written by a Colorado woman about the stalking of her teenage daughter, Morgan. Morgan’s Mother recreated the notes she had written during the months of Stalking to tell the story. It is a rare look into the absolute terror and huge psychological toll that stalking victims experience. It is a harrowing story that rivals any horror film. It starts out innocuous and unfolds day by day, as cat and mouse games slowly escalate. As you read you can feel the palpable fear and dread that Morgan and her parents experience. No one deserves to go through what this family went through. No one deserves to be stalked by an individual, or gangstalked by a group.
Stalking and harassment are insidious crimes. The seriousness of the crime is that it is not based on one or two acts, that may, or may not, be criminal if they were isolated incidents. It is the pervasiveness that makes it such a serious crime. People that will go to great lengths and take risks to invade the life of someone who they know want nothing to do with them, are dangerous. Stalking takes effort. It takes dedication to continually harass someone. Being stalked is extremely disturbing. Being stalked by someone who is unknown to you is even more disturbing — and harder to prove. Gang Stalking is an nothing less than an attempt to terrorize someone. It is cruel and it is evil. If you have never been stalked or mobbed, you might think “oh a bunch of idiots follow you around…. big deal…. that wouldn’t bother me.” After you read what a single stalker did to a family in a few months…. you may be able to realize what many stalkers can do to an individual over a period of years.

Team Morgan it’s time – you are all needed, please lend her your help!
“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” – Jane Howard
And we have one, many actually… and you are all part of it! When our family needed that extra strength and hope, so many wonderful people offered to help us in our quest for justice for Morgan. Some of you have called yourselves, “Team Morgan,” and in my own mind I have always thought of you as earth angels! I have been so grateful for every single offer of help and support. We have been so fortunate to have assistance in so many differing areas of expertise. Exposing the truth would never have come this far without all of it. And now as Morgan’s case takes another step forward I invite everyone to join in.
I am extremely happy to announce that Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers, along with help from Families of Homicide and Missing Persons (FOHVAMP) is now circulating a reward poster for any information leading to the arrest of the person(s) involved in the unsolved homicide of our 20 year old daughter Morgan Ingram on December 2, 2011.
If every single one of you could please share this post with anyone, and everyone you know, I would greatly appreciate it.
I know there are people that know what happened to Morgan, and those people also know who is responsible. We want those people to come forward to help solve this crime. This is their chance to do the right thing, and to no longer hide in the shadows. Sometimes people think that what they know will not make a difference, but rest assured every single small piece of information will help to tell the whole story. Finding the piece that will finally tip the scale for Morgan is something I will never stop fighting for. I have heard many stories of the threats made against, “snitches,” so far, and if you feel unable or fearful to speak your truth, then please know I have been assured you can remain absolutely anonymous. Personally I feel that if you are forced to swallow the truth and keep it inside, then it eats at you. It’s nature’s law. I would like people to know that when you let the truth out the feeling you get is awesome and liberating!
I myself have wanted to desperately get out all the details, facts, and evidence that we have gathered over the past years, but I have had to hold back (from this blog) on a lot of information in the hopes that it can be used in a criminal case someday. At times I admit I have let my anger get the best of me. I could say, “What parent wouldn’t be angry?” but instead I would like to say because of Steve I have been blessed – he has held me back and shown me that sharing all the brutal ugliness we have uncovered is just not always helpful, and not always necessary, not yet anyway. Things happen for a reason and they happen when they are suppose to happen…not just when I want them to happen. What I have learned over the years is that justice is not going to come through anger or ego, only through facts, so I do the best I can to keep mine in check. Facts come out at the correct time, not when I want them to, but when they should be released.
I can never stress enough, both to myself and to everyone whom I have contact with that my efforts are not only about the loss of our precious daughter, but about all the wrongs being perpetrated on other innocent victims every day, and what needs to change to prevent this from happening again. Unfortunately, and horribly there are so many stories of many other people who are suffering, or have suffered great personal loss themselves. What happened to Morgan is not an isolated case, while I pray the cover-up that has followed is an isolated case. For the good of all, this has to stop somewhere.
The simple yet overwhelming truth is that for Morgan to have justice someday, unpleasant truths will eventually have to have to come out, and visit the light of day. It should not be much of a stretch to see that this will be unpleasant for some, and for others it is something that they will want to avoid at all costs. To those I say that for Morgan to have been victimized, then murdered, only to be victimized again, was horrific for her, and all those who knew and loved her so much.
The knowledge that pursuing justice for Morgan will lead to a very needed change in the way victims and co-victims are treated in the future is extremely important to me, and I know it would have been so important to Morgan as well. I know that this fight for justice is not only being waged by Morgan’s family and friends, but also by complete strangers that want to help make changes for the better in this world – I will probably never be able to explain it except to say there are forces at work that have been making the impossible possible in this fight.
So please I am asking you all now to share this blog, and this poster in any way you can. This is a very powerful way you can help find justice for Morgan.
You can even print the poster and hang it anywhere you think it may be seen by people that may know something. Especially in Newcastle, Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, Basalt, and Aspen, CO. Coffee shops, sports shops, churches, grocery stores, colleges, anywhere that they will allow you to post this. Thank you all so very much – with much love from the bottom of my heart!
Please help – Justice for Morgan!
***Criminals do “trip up” – they can’t help themselves…just found out that on 3/16/2014 Keenan was arrested again, it was in the local newspaper listed under recent crimes, posted by the Glenwood Springs Police (not the sheriffs). His criminal record keeps growing, but for some reason he seems to be “protected” and nothing ever really happens to him – this is a question I continually ask myself.
Morgan Is A Very Bright Light…
Morgan with Tessi as a puppy – granted she was a big puppy, but she was very young at the time this picture was taken. Morgan loved children and animals – they always made her smile.
Morgan was a gentle and sweet soul, existing as one with the earth. Loved by all, and who’s bright light attracted everyone, and everything – including both light and darkness, people that were good, and people that were evil.
I really miss listening to her play her keyboard and sing. One of the song that she used to sing almost every day was Hallelujah. You may think it is just a coincidence, or a sign, or a whisper from an angel, but whatever you may believe in my heart every time I walk into a room and this song is playing or just goes on I “feel” like Morgan is reminding me that she is right there with me. I “feel” a warm surge go through my back and all the sadness and longing I have to see her again becomes less because I “feel” like she is right there with me. So on that note I would like to share with you the song below.

The most beautiful word: Hallelujah.
The most beautiful song, originally written and sung by none other than Buddhist, and Ladies’ Man, Leonard Cohen. This song has different meanings to a lot of people but it is a beautiful song and one that makes me feel happy inside.
“And even though it all went wrong, I’ll stand right here before the Lord of song, with nothing on my tongue but ‘Hallelujah’.”
It’s, as I say, a desire to affirm my faith in life, not in some formal religious way but with enthusiasm, with emotion…It’s a rather joyous song. I wanted to write something in the tradition of the hallelujah choruses but from a different point of view…It’s the notion that there is no perfection—that this is a broken world and we live with broken hearts and broken lives but still that is no alibi for anything.
On the contrary, you have to stand up and say hallelujah under those circumstances.
~ Leonard Cohen
And most famously, by Rufus Wainwright, a version that made it into Shrek, the blockbuster children’s fave movie.
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahWell your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahMaybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who out drew ya
It’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not someone whos seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
