Morgan is always on my mind, and forever in my heart – she will never be forgotten.  

This is the same for all those
many other families that I have spoken with over the past few years.  So many are in, or were in, the same situation as ours…their child had been determined to be; a missing person/runaway, suicide, accidental death, or natural causes, when there was credible evidence that these are the wrong conclusions.

I can understand when law enforcement receives a case that they have worked on but can’t ever seem to get enough evidence to make an arrest – of course that happens, and then it becomes a cold case.  BUT there are so many cases like Morgan’s that are never allowed to be investigated because the evidence is ignored.  It is a case (for all different reasons) that law enforcement does not want to investigate – they do not want it to be a homicide and please, don’t believe for one moment in time that this does not happen…it does.

People ask me, “How can you keep fighting for an investigation to be opened when local law enforcement won’t listen?”  It isn’t easy, but just like other parents in our situation, when you have credible evidence, facts that show your daughter or son was a victim of a homicide, you can’t just drop it and walk away.  Sure it may be a little less painful to walk away and pretend it never happened, but you would know that you are allowing a murderer(s) to walk free. That doesn’t work for me, it doesn’t work for Steve and it doesn’t work for so many thousands of other supporters that want to see justice for Morgan…it doesn’t matter how long it takes, we won’t give up.

We are not grieving parents that can’t accept that our daughter is dead – we know she is dead, we know nothing will bring her back. We also know first hand that not every murder that is committed is listed as a homicide.  We have spoken with many other families that have been in the same situation – some of them have fought for 5 years, some for 13 years, some for over 20 years before the truth has come to light, and their loved ones were able to receive justice. Some families are still fighting to this day.  These are cases where their children were not considered victims of homicide – but they should have been.  If you believe for one moment in time that it doesn’t happen, start reading the news. It happens too often, and it is always horrific for the families…how can they do that to parents that have lost a child to a violent crime, and then it is cover up for many different reasons?  To lie and cover up a murder is not only criminal, it is also a crime against humanity.  Human atrocities have happened throughout human existence, because good people have stepped back and kept quiet – they did not stand up for what is right.  Look back on history and ask yourself, “What would I have done?”

Morgan was, and is loved.  Morgan was, and is important.  We want only justice and truth for Morgan – nothing less.  The holidays will be here soon – remember to hold each other tight, and tell each other how much you love them…every day is precious, and every moment together is a moment to make a memory…a memory that you will carry with you forever.

Love & light to you all.
