November 1, 2011 – Day 92 of Morgan’s stalking – seems like all is well, but it is not…

Posted on by

Morgan gets a text message from her girlfriend, “Call me! Hey Morgan 🙂 ”  And Morgan texts her back, “Hey cutie pie how are you?”  Steve and Morgan have already been in contact and she is on her way home.  He is hidden in another spot.  Every time he goes to a different place.  He has not told Morgan, but he keeps this a secret from her.  We have heard so much about ways that our communications with Morgan can be intercepted that we are being ultra cautious.

Steve calls me because he knows how worried I am, and tells me that Morgan has just past where he is and in a minute he will start to follow her home.  He tells me it’s snowing and freezing out, there will not be a stalker in this weather.  It helps, but still I am worried that he is going to be close enough and I express this to him.  He tells me to not worry, that she will be out of sight, but he feels like we have to take small chances to catch him.  If she stops for even a few seconds he will catch up, then he can speed way up, and be upon her in absolutely no time at all.

I have a sick, empty feeling in my stomach, I feel we are taking chances with our daughter.  But in order to protect her, this is what it has come to.  Taking calculated risks, leaving her out of our sight for seconds at a time.  Hoping that our extra bit of hanging back is enough to give her stalker enough courage to move in, and then be caught.

There is no harrowing moment tonight, Morgan comes home without incident and wonders what all the fuss is about.  I know that this frightens her, that she might be followed again, and we are reminding her of it.  But I weigh that against how the Garfield Sheriff’s Department fell flat on their face, with the assurance that next time it would be different, when in fact the next time was worse.  I am not saying that they may not have intercepted him if she had dialed 911 while driving, but right when she got home and we called them they could have been proactive and looked for the car, pulled it over and questioned him – there are not too many ways to go from that intersection.   This further eroded any hope Morgan had in them of stopping this nightmare.

I met her in the driveway, with the usual spray and gave her a kiss.  She thanked me and then we saw the lights of Steve’s truck turning onto the street.  Morgan told me that we didn’t have to do this.  I told her, oh yes we do Morgan, and we will never stop, you know that,

We hugged, and when Steve drove up she walked to his truck and hugged him too.  I watched him whisper in her ear, and I wondered what “daddy thing” he had just told her.  She smiled, so I knew it was a good one.  We all walked in the house and Steve and I held hands watching her go to her room.  She told us we were “too much,” but without saying a word Steve and I knew we were not enough, not yet, but we knew we would be, we had to be.

We headed for an inviting bed, and said nothing, just staring at a dark ceiling for the longest while.  Then for some reason we both sat up and decided to check the cameras before going to sleep.  It seemed like I had heard noises earlier, really, really small noises, so I wasn’t concerned as it was snowing out.  We were exhausted, but went into the bathroom where it was all set up and sat together looking at our camera monitor, calling up motion events for the evening, there was one in particular we went right to, at 23.51.30 camera number 4 spots a little light moving around on the other side of the berm.  We watched it a few times and could not tell what it might be.  Tired and needing sleep we decided it could wait until morning.  Steve said it was probably a reflection of something.

We went to bed, then slept, and I felt we had somehow moved in a positive direction tonight…boy was I wrong.

October 30 & 31, 2011 – Days 90 & 91 of Morgan’s stalking

Posted on by

On the 30th Halloween is in the air, we have small pumpkins to carve and cookies to make.  Morgan has friends coming over to get into costume and then they are all going to a Halloween party.

Both detectives come over the house to talk with Morgan about the recent events.  They have a new thermal imaging scope, which they want to become a little more accustomed to, in hopes of having a successful stakeout.  We have some stalking times recorded that seem consistent and very promising, and maybe between the four of us we can actually get a good picture, or even more.

After the conversation with Morgan, and the paperwork was finished, we went outside with their new thermal imaging scope and Steve’s.  We had offered the use of ours any time, but department rules did not allow that, so it was great that they now also had something that could “see” through the darkness.

What was not so great was that after many attempts to turn it on and waiting for warm up Detective Glassmire discovered, to his embarrassment, that it had no batteries.  Easy solution, we always keep a wide selection on hand, so Steve asked what they needed.  Only again this was a problem, Detective Glassmire said it was against the rules to use our batteries (this is starting to get a little ridiculous at this point).  They were brand new, still in the package, but Detective Glassmire had to say no, and that was the end of the ‘getting accustomed’ attempt.

It was doubly bad because Morgan was on hand for the whole fiasco.  After we said our goodbyes, Morgan chimed in with a question, she wondered if we really thought she was supposed to count on those two to catch her stalker – and feel safe about it.  We had to agree with her that it had not been their best week from failed promises, from being too busy, to no batteries, which Morgan equated to hoping they had bullets in their guns, in case they ever needed them.

We told her it was a sign to become even more proactive.  And Steve said we would.  He and Morgan had already decided that she would never drive home again, at night, unless he was there to follow in his truck.  He would position himself to see her come by and fall in only after he was sure she was not being followed.  They had done this before, but now it was an every time without fail routine.  Morgan wondered if he had a gun in his truck, and Steve told her no, he did not think that was warranted.  He would follow, and call the sheriffs, she would go home, their plan seemed simple and safe enough.

Morgan was happy, and giggling, and it had been a while since we had a group of her friends over the house. It was fun having them over, they carved pumpkins, Morgan roasted the pumpkin seeds, and they all got dressed up.  The part where Steve got into position, and followed her home went great, she did not even know he was back there until Steve showed up in the driveway right after her.

On Monday the 31st, there was another Halloween party, but this time Morgan called it an evening a little earlier, and came home under the watchful eye of her father behind her again.  We all went to sleep, and she had a friend staying over on the couch.

At 2:01 am there was a loud noise, Morgan later described it as a really different noise – very loud.  Her male friend took to the task and scouted out the entire neighborhood.  Steve joined in and after a short cold walk outside, both of them came back in.  Winter was in the air, and I wished for the snow to come soon.  Then there would be footprints and I believed that might mean no more stalker – I hoped!

October 28 & 29, 2011 – Days 88 & 89 of Morgan’s Stalking

Posted on by

Morgan is up early, with Wylah who hasn’t been eating, because she has an operation first thing this morning and Morgan sent a text to her first teacher saying, “I might be a little late.”  After school she picked up miss droopy eyes, and brought her home to rest.

Detective Glassmire just wants emails about both incidents, and I push Morgan a bit just to get this completed and behind her.  The more she is thinking about this complete indifference by the sheriffs department the more disappointed with them she is becoming.  Steve and I were left to just throw up our arms last night.  Stalker is in the yard ten feet from her, whole new level of fear, then he pulls in behind her on the “back” road and follows her to the subdivision entrance, a whole new level of boldness.  And the response from the Garfield Sheriffs department was zero, actually that is not true, we did it wrong, that was their response.

Daddy spends a lot of time with Morgan playing games and watching the puppy and she is “getting over it” by the time she goes to sleep.  Shortly thereafter a rock hits her window at 10:26 pm.

(Police reports later show the “suspect” was not working on 10.28.2011… again he was free this evening to continue his torment)

Then on the morning of the 29th Morgan takes the puppy out at 5:35 am with Steve is standing at our door, dressed and cradling something I would have never, ever thought I would have seen him standing inside our door with – A fully loaded Mossberg shotgun, on loan from a very good friend.  The detectives have gone over the rules of engagement with Steve many times now and he is confident he is and will remain within the law.  Last night he told me, “What the He.. else am I supposed to do.  And yes, this is crazy.”  I had to agree.  I just wished he was wearing something bulletproof.

Morgan is going to say hi if she sees him.  That is Steve’s cue to “confront and detain.”  Of course we never saw him at puppy potty time after the first morning.  Eventually we replaced the motion detector to that corner of the house.  I think the only good that came of it was a measure of confidence for Morgan.

Later that day Leesa told me that that she heard through the Glenwood grapevine that Keenan was talking about his girlfriend Morgan – the description she heard was Morgan Jennifer to a “T”. That was why she called, she had heard that he did have a girlfriend named Morgan, but that Morgan did not look like our daughter Morgan Jennifer.  I added it to my list of possible interviews for Detective Glassmire.

These are the letters/emails that Morgan sent to the detectives on the 5th of November.  They were for the files.  And they did discuss them in far more detail the next time they met with Morgan.

Morgan’s letter to sheriff:

11.5.2011

Dear Detective Rob Glassmire & Detective Meagan Alstatt,

On the morning of Wednesday, October 27th I opened our back sliding glass door to allow my 5 month old puppy to go potty.  I was still totally dark out and I had an uneasy feeling so for the first time I put her on a 15 foot leash when I put her outside, I held on to the other end of the leash while standing inside the glass door to watch her when all of a sudden I saw to my left a figure of a person dressed all in black standing on the other side of our 3 foot high fence, approximately 12 feet from me.  I panicked and pulled my puppy in through the door (while she was still urinating) and closed and locked the door immediately.  This was very frightening to me – I know I should have called 911 but I was too frightened…sorry.

October 26, 2011 – Day 86 of Morgan’s Stalking

Posted on by

I miss you rocks on a camping trip

In case the good news slipped under the radar, on the 56th day of the stalking, Morgan’s case was confirmed to be a felony stalking case.  It was 56 days, and it was finally a felony stalking case.  Fifty-six days!  I have read the Colorado Revised Statutes twice, and I don’t see any time restriction, law enforcement does not even have to wait one day.  The US Department of Justice says, “Stalking is a pattern of repeated and unwanted attention, harassment, contact, or any other course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.

Morgan felt fear from day two.  Steve and I felt fear as well – fear for our daughter’s safety, fear of the unknown.  All of our lives were turned upside down…this had been 56 days of REPEATED harassment, unwanted surveillance, tresspass, and attacks.  The stress we were all under was unbelievable.  I have posted – just when does stalking become stalking?  Today to answer this question, again, it is a pattern of repeated and unwanted attention, harassment, contact, or any other course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.  I would also further like to point out – this is why I believe anti-stalking laws have to become stricter.  It’s one thing to have anti-stalking laws on the books, but it’s another to have those laws enforced, because if locally they are not taken seriously, stalking can become lethal.

At 11:59 pm a rock hit Morgan’s window, and startled her from bed.  Earlier today Steve went outside with a new BB gun, and using plastic bullets to try to approximate the noise Morgan had been hearing on her windows up till tonight.  This was much louder and more upsetting for Morgan.

I sent the detective an email about the incident, which had been caught on the video cameras in the driveway.  He said he is interested to see it next time he is at our house.  I didn’t tell him about the rock incident, as it had to wait until he got back anyway.

Today is October 15, 2012 – And yesterday’s blog was such a perfect example of what I mean about protocol, and laws changing in stalking that I could not pass it up.  Yesterday on the blog, I posted a film clip of a stalker in the driveway.  A strange man doing something nefarious, and I say this because who else would be out in our driveway at 11:30 pm at night crouched behind my car in the driving rain?  And how often would evidence like this be available in a stalking case?

Our sheriff, Lou Vallario has gone on TV and said they were out at our house over 50 times and never saw any sign of a stalker.  His detectives saw this video clip on my computer (and it was very clearly a picture of a male popping up from behind the LR3 into a standing position and running across the driveway to the bushes for cover as our new neighbor Matt drives up the street), and if that is not a sign of a stalker then just what is?  The stalkers don’t come to the front door, and politely request a sign in sheet saying they were there, not our stalker anyway.  Our stalker actually did whatever it took to not be caught in the act – is this a shock to anyone?  In this particular clip we caught him because a neighbor happened to drive up the street while he was hiding behind my car.  If he comes toward the house between the truck and the car then the alarm goes off, the stalker knows this.  He had one way to go – no other way, and he took it.

Lucky for the stalker, Matt did not see him.  Or would that have mattered?  Say Matt saw him and told the detectives he had seen a man leaving our driveway, and hiding in our bushes, would they have arrested someone?  NO!  Would they have gone and questioned someone?  NO!  Based on past reactions to far greater evidence, there would have been no response at all.  Just like there was on October 19th when Morgan was followed home in her car.  Morgan was frightened and frustrated.  She was beginning to lose all faith in the sheriff department’s ability to protect her, or catch her stalker at this time.  And looking back wasn’t she 100% right?  They never caught her stalker, and they were not able to protect her.  They managed a very pathetic murder scene investigation, which they instantly saw as absolutely unrelated to her ongoing stalking.  100 pages of gross incompetence reports later and what crime, there was no crime here, no stalking, no murder…who really believes that?

Interestingly enough the volunteered votes to convict so far on the blog, if those chiming in were on a jury, and had to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, the prime suspect Keenan, is, so far, 100% guilty – based only on the blog to date.  And trust me you have not seen the really damning stuff yet.  100% guilt and the sheriffs department has closed the stalking investigation, and the pathologist carried through on his threat, and changed Morgan’s death from natural causes to a suicide, after nine months with no new evidence.  Steve and I were dismayed when the sheriffs indicated that they were 100% certain Keenan was the stalker, because we were far more convinced that Keenan was acting as part of a gang and there were others involved.  We believed there were at least one other, and maybe two other participants at the time.  Now we believe there were at least four participants in total and perhaps as many as five.  And the sheriffs department has dropped the case, felony stalking one day – next day, no stalking, and what changed?  NOTHING!  We believed in the system and what happened – so far there has been no justice for Morgan – people responsible are still out on the streets to go do this again to someone else’s daughter and until changes are made this will just repeat itself over and over again.

Oh, Morgan died, was killed, or committed suicide, that has changed.  But does any of that mean she was not stalked? I think not, not at all.  Steve and I spent over four hours this weekend listening to interpretations of the crime that could lead to a correct manner of death as suicide.  Steve and I said nothing, just listened, and not one person thought this was even a POTENTIAL suicide.  Not one.  And what if it were a suicide?  What if the fear of her stalker drove her to that, how come nobody even wants to mention that as a possibility.  Steve and I are 100% certain it was not a suicide for many reasons that will be shared with you over the next few weeks.  Then you too can decide for yourself.  Just remember, anyone who still votes for suicide will have to answer the question if it could have been caused by her stalker.  And we have not even raised the reason for her death that medical minds thought was most likely, before we found the massive dose of amitriptyline, and before we later found the components of a date rape cocktail.  So answer me this, because I’m her mom, and I don’t get a vote:

  • 100% felony stalking case (plus)
  • Substantial reality of fright from her stalking being a small component in her untimely death (plus)
  • 100% massive dose of Amitriptyline listed as insignificant (plus)
  • 100% evidence of a date rape cocktail of 6 drugs in her system (plus)
  • Ample evidence of a struggle in her room (plus)
  • The PJ’s she wore to bed completely gone from her room (plus)
  • All of her valuable jewelry missing from her room (plus)
  • A suspicious substance (bodily fluids), in minute spots on her chest & neck under black light (plus)
    • Shown in pictures the sheriffs took under the UV light at the crime scene
  • A suspicious substance (bodily fluids), in minute spots over what looks like an injection mark with a human BITE mark over it on the inside of her arm
    • Shown in pictures the sheriffs took under the UV light at the crime scene
  • Wounds on the top and bottom of her right hand (plus)
  • Three nails torn off her right hand (equals)
  • Body found in a completely different position then the position determined that she died in – body moved postmortem!
  • ZERO INVESTIGATION, NONE, NADA.

What if your daughter was murdered and no one cared? What would you do?  Could this possibly get any more pathetic? Of course it can, it is Garfield County isn’t it?
