Just found this on Morgan’s computer. She liked to save things like this, and to me this reminds me of why we are all here – let’s all do good for others.

A ray of light at the end of what promises to be a very long tunnel…here is what you have all been waiting to see
This morning I was getting ready for a meeting, today’s blog was written, but would not be posted until later. A fax came in, it was what I expected, and as I promised, I will share it with you. It is the truth, and you are free to make your own decision as to what is going on here in Garfield County.
First a word from Morgan –
And then the fax –
If I feel as if our County Coroner Trey Holt ranks right down there with the stalker, perhaps I am overreacting – what do you think?
A lot of you are pulling for the County to re-open this investigation, and I appreciate that. But I don’t agree. For Steve and I the relationship with the Sheriff’s department turned very adversarial when we had other experts review Morgan’s manner of death, that Dr. Kurtzman said was natural causes, and then had the gall to share the opinions of other experts with them, to suggest they were mistaken perhaps. It was the old, don’t confuse us with facts, our minds are already made up. And the Coroner Trey Holt is another story, he has been out of touch since day one. I was threatened that Morgan’s manner of death would be changed to suicide if I did not back off of trying to have her death changed to a homicide. And yes, I reported this verbal threat to the Sheriff’s department, just like I reported her missing jewelry.
Now, Morgan’s case needs a fresh set of eyes and ears – perhaps the CBI or the Attorney General’s office, we just don’t know at this point where to go. We know we need officials we can trust, officials who don’t threaten us. Officials who respect our rights as victims, and above all – the rights of Morgan Ingram, which is what Steve, and I fight for. Oh, and not to be melodramatic, but if there is a murder / suicide with our names on it, don’t believe it. Steve and I were high school sweet hearts and we celebrated 41 years of dating, and 36 years of marriage this summer. And while this has easily been the biggest challenge we have ever faced, like everything else that has challenged us, we will do it together.
Love you all, and thank you so very much for all of your support during these difficult times, which has meant so much to Steve and I.
WHAT MOTIVATES A STALKER?
Stalkers can be driven by several different reasons, and most have stalked more than one person in their lifetime. Stalkers are obsessed with their victims, and this obsession is expressed in many ways. Some common reasons for this obsession include power, control, and sometimes revenge.
Most stalkers don’t take responsibility for their actions – they blame others for making them do what they do (check out DARVO for a better understanding http://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineDARVO.html). Stalkers who have had intimate relationships with their victims have been shown to be much more aggressive and violent (both male and female perpetrators). Relationship violence perpetrators often stalk their victims during the course of the relationship and especially after the victim leaves the relationships.
Each year, 6.6 million people are stalked in the United States. Women are nearly three times more likely to be stalked than men. It is important to remember both men and women can be victims of stalking. Nearly 3 in 4 victims know their offender in some capacity.▪ From Network of Victim Assistance http://www.novabucks.org/otherinformation/stalking/
