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.

Trust me – Hollywood is a lot harder than it looks!
I was unaware, but I guess a few of you were busy asking the Dr. Phil Show to share their thoughts on the story of Morgan’s Stalking. They spoke with me, and then asked others to be on the show to give them a chance to tell their side. Unfortunately, no one would agree but then ? and ?’s dad did agree to be on the show.
Well – I had to miss work for a few days, and am now furiously, but without any complaints scrambling to catch up. Steve and I were in Los Angeles since Friday, guests of the Dr. Phil show. They are all amazing people, and work so hard at what they do, and I assure you both Steve and I were humbled to watch them all at their craft. We met so many people we want to thank for what they did on behalf of our daughter Morgan.
Monday November 12, the episode will air and I honestly don’t know what it will come across as, but I hope you can all see it. Showing the world what Morgan was really like has always been a goal of her blog, and it does get lost at times. Her cousin Camille and Dr. Dobersen had a brief chance to tell their feelings about Morgan and I thank both of you two sooo much!
Please don’t hold back, tell everyone you know about the show, and as always, feel free to comment, good or bad, after you have had a chance to see it. Steve and I have never been on TV once before, a few seconds on CBS Denver news, but for Morgan, and all the other stalking victims out there, we would do anything. We both are feeling more than a little self-conscious about how we will look on the show right now – but I know I can’t think about that.
Finally, with all of the best wishes Steve and I can ever express – thanks to Lindy and Sam and Alex and of course Dr. Phil, I had never met him before, we met on stage and I think he is a really wonderful man…no wonder all of his employees love working for him.
Daddy and I miss you dearly Morgan! But we are happy a lot of people will get a chance to meet you, not in person, but perhaps the next best thing – this coming Monday.
One little piece to this gigantic puzzle that was overlooked – as usual…
The morning I found Morgan’s body, and our family showed up, our daughter-in-law told me about a show she had watched on TV, and wanted to make sure I told the detective to tell whomever he would be talking to, like the Forensic Pathologist doing her autopsy, so he was aware that she had a stalker and to please, please check for injection marks. The detective said he knew the doctor doing the autopsy and he “always checks for injection marks in this kind of case”, and again I believed him. I now see no notes about looking for injections marks, but I do see in an instruction book on how Forensic Pathologists are supposed to look for injection marks.
Morgan had a beautiful french manicure put on her nails the night before she died. In the instruction book it explains why you have to take any nailpolish off to look under the nails for injection marks. When I spoke to Dr. Kurtzman at the end of February, on a conference call with Steve, myself and Detective Rob I asked about Morgan’s nails, about the 3 nails on her right hand that were torn or cut at an angle and I was assured her nails still had a perfect french manicure on them when her body left their facility. What does that mean – what kind of answer is that? How can there be a proper check for injection marks under the nails with the nail polish still on? I have so many of these unanwered questions they could fill a book, but I wanted to tell you all about this story because a reader last night sent me an email through the webiste with the following information, and yes it is the link to the story that my daughter-in-law saw before Morgan’s death:
Did you see this on DateLine? A college student died, coroner originally thought it was natural causes, but then the ME found a tiny pinprick on her arm and it was discovered that a guy who was obsessed with her had injected her with proponol.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25855779/ns/dateline_nbc-crime_reports/t/obsession/I asked my daughter-in-law if this was the story she had watched and she said, “YES!!!! I watched this just a few weeks before Morgan passed, and this story really stuck with me! I have thought about it of a lot, every time I would have doubts about Morgan….and it would remind me, that crazy things happen!!!”
November 23, 2011 – Day 114 of Morgan’s Stalking – The day before Thanksgiving
Wylah crashed out!
Morgan arrives home from Denver by noon. I have a short day of work, so Morgan and I go shopping to get all the ingredients for her favorite cake for Thanksgiving, she loves to make Paula Dean’s Pumpkin Gooey cake. We got home with all the ingredients and Morgan puts on her little pink apron and goes to work on making the cake.
I spoke with Detective Alstatt over the phone today and then after making her cake, Morgan and her friend decided to lie on the living room couch and watch movies until 2:00 am – they feel asleep on the couch, and about 2:10 am (after the lights had been turned off in the living room) all of a sudden Morgan heard continual scraping and tapping on the living room window – her friend was asleep on the couch so he didn’t hear (Morgan had not fallen asleep yet), she sent me a text and I came running out of the bedroom to see what was happening. I heard a tap on the living room window…I ran to the window to look out to see if I could tell what was happening. After not seeing anything I whispered to Morgan to just go to sleep on the other end of the couch, as was her friend, and if she heard anything else to let me know.
I went to bed and hoped for the best. Tomorrow was Thanksgiving, and we have reservations (usually I cooked) to go to the Maroon Creek Club in Aspen for Thanksgiving dinner, so I just prayed that we could all get some sleep and have a nice Thanksgiving.

November 22, 2011 – Day 113 of Morgan’s Stalking…
It was so wonderful today to wake up and know it had been quiet last night.
Today is Tuesday and Morgan leaves for 24 hours with her friend, and their family to go to Denver. Steve and I talked about flocking windows – I thought his idea was a little crazy, but since the stores now have Christmas decorations and things on display, Steve sees the cans of white window flocking, and comes up with this idea. He tells me if he flocks Morgan’s window on the outside, then when something hits the windows it will leave not only a mark, but if we check the mark we will be able to see where the object is coming from, and what direction it is bouncing off the window from. I don’t know why, but I thought it was a desperate and crazy idea when he mentioned it. He really believes it will work and tells me that he is going to buy some cans of window flocking on his way home tonight.
Our next door neighbor (they were 2nd homeowners, and usually never there) called to ask Steve if he could let some people into their house. I guess they had friends that were just passing through and wanted to stay there overnight. Steve had the key to their house in case they needed him to check on anything for them. Since we had all gotten a good nights sleep last night I was able to get a lot of work done today. I had Thursday (Thanksgiving) through Sunday off from work so I wanted to get caught up on my work and today, and tomorrow were the last days to do just that.
Tonight was quiet also, and Steve and I were able to sleep well… the fact that Morgan was out of town helped so much, It was like a weight being lifted from my shoulders feeling Morgan was safe and not being terrorized.
Steve felt the difference too, he was finding more and more positives in the idea of just moving. And he felt it would be good for me as well. We were going to talk to Morgan about it when she came home tomorrow from her little trip.
