Please share to help find justice for Morgan

reward.poster.12.4.2014

Please share this poster with as many people as you can.  Print it out if possible and hang it up all through the Roaring Fork Valley from Aspen to Glenwood Springs – we would really appreciate the help.  Morgan cared so much for others, so please do the same for her – help find justice for Morgan, and get this predator off the streets.

In most of our videos the stalker seems to appear to be left handed.  He is extremely slim, broad shoulders, moves very fast and has amazing ability to wait and watch (as most stalkers do).  As well as being a “night” person.  He is cocky and has no respect for law enforcement.  He believes he can get away with anything, and up until now he has been right – he has.

Morgan identified her stalker and the sheriffs knew who he was and for people that think he was cleared of the stalking please note that is absolutely not true, he was NEVER cleared of being Morgan’s stalker, that is just what some people would like you to believe.

Morgan’s case number is even on his global criminal report.  He was charged with “Criminal Trespass” in her case before we even knew it was him, but we were NEVER TOLD that he was charged at the time, I guess the sheriffs just “forgot” to tell us about that.  I also noticed her stalker was charged with “Criminal Trespass” the year prior to Morgan’s stalking…I wonder who he was stalking then?  I was told by the first 2 Garfield County Sheriff Patrol Officers about the 5 stalking incidents in the Blue Creek Subdivision the summer before Morgan’s stalking in 2010.  They said there was tapping on their windows just like Morgan’s but then on the 5th incident a garbage can was knocked over so the girl thought it was a bear and opened the door to look and was face-to-face with the stalker wearing a hoodie, he ran, she called 911 and the Patrol Officers gave chase having the dogs track the suspect, and they received a good description of the stalker.  Then 2 weeks before Morgan’s stalking started another women in the area saw a white male dressed in black with a hoodie inside her backyard looking through her window and she called the Sheriffs. I have received emails that lead me to believe this has been going on for approximately 4 years in that area and I had never heard about it – the public is not being informed and these cases are not being investigated.

If you know anyone in the Blue Creek Subdivision in Carbondale that has experienced someone in their yard, tapping on their windows, or observing them through their windows, please have them call Crime Stoppers with that information as it pertains to Morgan’s case as well.  Remember predatory stalkers do not just stop – they can’t.  Please call Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers with any leads you may have – it is the right thing to do.  Morgan’s stalker is still out on the streets – please keep your eyes and ears open in order to save the next girl.

The felony stalking detective assigned to Morgan’s case told me only a couple of days before her murder that he was confident they were close to making an arrest, but after Morgan was murdered, “No victim, no stalking” case closed. If that is all it takes to keep from being arrested for stalking or rape, or any crime for that matter, then we are ALL in trouble. Brooke’s father James Harris called a client (a Pitkin County Sheriff’s wife) and left her a voice message on her answering machine canceling their appointment the morning Morgan was murdered (12/2/2014) because he had to stay home and “monitor” the situation to “protect” his daughter as the neighbor’s daughter (our daughter Morgan) had a stalker and now he was seeing crime scene tape around their house.  He said the police used to think he was the stalker, but now they know that his daughter’s ex-boyfriend is the stalker.  Well to me that was a very IMPORTANT VOICE MESSAGE!  I begged Garfield County Detective Robert Glassmire to interview this woman woman, and he promised he would…but guess what, HE NEVER DID.  Why?  I finally called his partner Detective Megan Alstatt to ask her why he never interviewed this witness and she told me that she was pretty sure that he had followed up on it, but she was wrong.  I called the witness and she said HE NEVER CALLED her, and being a sheriff’s wife she could not understand why he would not call her when she had vital information regarding the case.

Why does Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario refuse to allow Morgan’s case to get investigated?  Why does he refuse to allow another agency in another jurisdiction to come in to look at the evidence, that is, the evidence that is still remaining.  We know there has already been destruction of evidence.  I am so beyond OUTRAGED!!!  What would you do if this was your daughter and she had been stalked, tortured and murdered and law enforcement just wanted to “sweep it under the rug”?

Please help show the people we have voted into office that this is unacceptable, we want accountability, we want criminals off the streets so they can’t continue to hurt our children. There needs to be a system of checks and balances in the State of Colorado – local law enfacement and/or the Coroner’s office should not be allowed to sweep a capital crime under the rug and be able to get away with it.

Thank you all so very much for all your help.

Stalked, Drugged & Murdered – How did Morgan really die?

I will now start to post some of the ugliness that I previously had not wanted to post.  None of us really want to see or hear about true life horrors in this world, but holding back some of this stuff up until now has only served to confuse people about what happened to Morgan.  Morgan was stalked and Morgan was murdered.  Why the sheriff has made such a huge effort to ignore key facts about Morgan’s stalking and Morgan’s murder is beyond me, because if he doesn’t already know what the true facts are, then he should find out.  That is his job.  Maybe someday the world will illuminate the answer to that question, but in the meantime I want to make sure people do know the truth – even though it is very ugly, and even though as a mother this makes me sick to my stomach.

The following picture is a copy of the Sexual Assault Drug Panel from AIT Labs.  AIT Labs is the laboratory that produced Morgan’s toxicology results from her autopsy.  Morgan was killed by a massive dose of Amitriptyline (a date rape drug), 7,909 ng/ml to be exact. Forensic doctors and toxicologists have assured me that less than 1,000 ng/ml would have killed Morgan, they want to know how she could have 7,909/ml ng in her bloodstream?  Good question – right?  She had 8 times the amount that would have killed her.  But it’s actually worse than that, doctors add together Amitriptyline and Nortriptyline for a total lethal amount. In Morgan’s case that is way over 10,000 ng/ml.  Way over ten times the lethal dose.  We believe she was overcome while asleep with chloroform and then injected with equine Amitriptyline that was meant for use on a horse, 1,000 lbs and up, over ten times Morgan’s weight.  Morgan never took anti-depressants, easily established from her pharmacy and doctors records.  Why would the sheriff say that she did?  Why would the sheriff ignore our efforts to correct this huge mistake? It’s a lie in a capital case.

Another important thing to note is the percentage of Amitriptyline to Nortriptyline (which can be a naturally occurring synthesis of Amitriptyline) clearly establishes that this fatal dose was a one time event.  We told the Sheriff she was not taking it and the lab results indicate she was not taking it.  Why do they have to cling to their misstatement?

Then we have results of a later test run by AIT Labs on her gastric fluid – this is extremely revealing as all the drugs found in her gastric fluid are circled and highlighted on the photo below – all seven of them.  And ALL are on the sexual assault panel at AIT Labs.  These are not drugs that any young woman would give herself, in fact one of the drugs is not even sold anymore in the US, except for horses.  No attempt was ever made to explain how Morgan got all these drugs into her system.  They were not drugs that Morgan had ever taken in her life, except a low dose of Amitriptyline for nerve pain when she was younger.  Morgan had no alcohol or illegal drugs in her system, but she had all of the following drugs in her gastric fluid – and then it only gets more telling… 5 of them had not gone into her bloodstream, so that means they were put into her stomach after it had stopped absorbing.  How is that even possible?  Morgan was most likely dead when these drugs were put into her stomach!  Never an attempt to explain how this could have happened either.  No wonder the sheriff will never investigate her murder.

Here is a copy of the Sexual Assault Drug Panel from AIT Labs – the highlighted drugs were in Morgan’s toxicology results found in her gastric fluid.

sexual assault panel highlighted page 1sexual assault panel highlighted page 2So what does this all mean?  It is proof, proof without a doubt that Morgan was murdered at the hands of someone else.  The pictures of Morgan’s crime scene show a horrible struggle took place – she fought.  She had blood on her forehead, blood on her pillow case, a swollen lip with blood, her hair was a tangled mess, clothes strewn everywhere, the vacuum knocked over, cell phone across the room under a door, her panic button ripped off the nightstand and in the corner of the room on the floor, abrasions on her body and much more.

At this point do you think an investigator could look her mother in the eye and say, “Absolutely no connection to the stalker here.”  The stalker that was on the roof?  The stalker that bent the gutter right over her window until it broke?  The stalker Morgan identified to the sheriff?  Well the investigator absolutely did claim there could be no connection to the stalker within minutes of his arrival on the scene the very morning we found her body.  That is not an investigation, no wonder the sheriff says he will never open one.

So the bottom line here is that I am sick and tired of some people acting like Morgan committed suicide, because she did not. I was threatened to back off from trying to have her manner of death, that was listed as “natural causes” from a disease she did not have, changed to at least “undetermined” in order to have an investigation launched.  I reported the threat, it is even in the sheriffs own report.  After 8 months they changed the manner of death just as they had threatened to do.  Sheriffs believe they can do anything.  This whole thing is so obvious not only to me, and to so many others, but the real question is what will it take for the State of Colorado to correct this injustice and do a real investigation, and see where that takes them?  A stalker(s) / murderer(s) is still free on the streets.  There are currently over 1,600 cold cases in Colorado, and Morgan’s case isn’t even one of them yet, so what is the real number?

I guarantee you Colorado – people like this do not stop – he will do this again if you allow this injustice to remain!

For all the times she helped me…

Morgan Sharing her love with the world

Morgan Sharing her love with the world

The days are long and I am not sure myself if, like Steve, the realization that she is really gone is stronger now than it has ever been…

There is however, one big shining glow that both of us have to acknowledge – even just yesterday, one of Morgan’s friends expressed, “You should remember that Morgan inspires me to this day to do my best, she was my mirror, reflected who I was when I couldn’t see.”  I thought that was so beautiful and I just wanted to share that with you all.  More than anything in the world, Morgan CARED.  She cared about everyone, she loved so many people, and wanted to help the world.

To all of you who have expressed in some private moment how much Morgan changed your life – for the better, forever – I just want you to know as parents, Steve and I will cherish those very meaningful feelings always, and we love you all for your willingness to tell us about our daughter.

So sincerely,

Steve and Toni

It was coming to a close, the term, “getting close to an arrest,” was being bandied about with new meaning.  In a discussion Morgan had with her doctor concerning how she was feeling about her stalker, only 36 hours before we found her lifeless body, Morgan told her doctor that she was positive, and upbeat and that the Detectives in her case felt they were very close to making an arrest.  She saw the end of the nightmare, and she smiled at the thought.

On the drive home there were even giggles about the happy thoughts we focused on even though some very disturbing news to Morgan had been told to her by a friend over her cell phone.  Instead of going into self-pity mode Morgan, being Morgan asked her dad for a knife for extra protection, which he stopped and purchased for her on our way home.  Morgan had such courage and it never left her, even at the bitter end.

The very day before this drive (2 nights before her murder) I asked Detective Glassmire what he thought it meant, with so many upcoming events in her stalking case.  About how I thought the colder weather may also turn the stalker away, as one of the Sheriff’s Patrol Officers had mentioned in the beginning of the stalking.  When I think back on it now, his answer surprised me for an instant, as he said very matter-of-fact type of way that he felt, “if anything, it was going to escalate.”  Just like that, he “felt it was going to escalate.”

To put it in perspective, when you are not getting sleep, watching surveillance videos until you pass out and finding great joy and relief in a trip to Grand junction for an annual gynecological appointment, the word escalate is not something your mind wants to hear, much less process into a tangible thought.  Steve would have had some quick comeback, he would not have let that particular word slip by, but Steve was not there.  It was only Detective Glassmire and myself, standing at the corner of the house, between Morgan’s room and a tree we would later learn the stalker used to exit the roof.

To find out now that Detective Glassmire had told the suspects about her pending formal interview, on camera, I have to ask…was he thinking that this would scare them?  That knowing their goose would soon be cooked was all this case needed to end?  No, he knew the answer when he told me that, if anything, there would be a reaction, an increase in intensity, it would escalate.  That was Tuesday afternoon, November 30th, 2011, 2 days before Morgan would go to sleep for the last time.

Sandwiched around that day would be an interview with the on again off again prime suspect, known to be involved by the Garfield County Sheriffs Department Detectives, just not in what capacity, Brooke was, “kicked around constantly,” as the leader of the stalking, a participant alongside Keenan, and as knowing what Keenan was doing, but that was all.  This was before we would find out that Brooke had a habit of threatening Morgan, telling many others that Morgan was going to get it someday.  Detective Glassmire would reveal the date of the pending interview of Morgan with this suspect.  Something would happen to raise the Detective’s level of certainty that Keenan was Morgan’s stalker to 100%.

Morgan did not need any more evidence, she was already 100% sure it was Keenan.  She was an eyewitness to Keenan’s stalking, having seen him from a distance of less than 15 feet four times.  Once getting out of her car to stand in the roadway because she was not about to tell the Deputies she was 99% sure it was him only to be told that was not good enough.  Morgan was willing to risk it all to be 100% sure.  She did and she was,  I was 99% sure, and told Detective Glassmire that.

Keenan would know that the record of his hours working for City Market was going to be handed over the Sheriff’s department the following week.  Not only did the Detective think that, “if anything, the stalking was going to escalate.”  He would ask for, and receive increased patrols, an extra one or two a night.  And they would all be 100% focused up on our roof.  What did they find out?  And why did they not share it with us?

Knowing why the extra patrols were ordered would have been far more valuable than the extra minute or two of safety the extra patrols gave.  If we had known the danger level Morgan was in we would have somehow gotten her away where no one could find her – but we were not given that chance.  Was critical information withheld from us?  This has been eating at me for such a long time now and I really need to know.  Law enforcement doesn’t want to give that up – that would look like they made a mistake so they sweep it under the rug for no one to see.  How does that help the next victim?  What do you tell her parents, the same lines we were fed?  Accountability for your actions and changing the way things are done so it doesn’t happen again is what we teach our children – why were we not told, when our daughters life could have been at stake for all they knew those few days before she was, in fact, killed?
