Morgan has no school today. She takes her time in the morning and then heads into Glenwood Springs early in the day. She shops and meets with friends and tries to have a day to herself. This is why she minimizes what is going on when she talks to her friends. She wants to drive away and feel like it is not happening. What sane person would not? If all of her friends were constantly asking her about her stalker it would be her entire life, and she wanted to maintain Morgan time – time that was hers and not invaded by her stalker. I am not saying she didn’t tell her friends what was happening – they knew and were worried, it’s just that she didn’t want her stalker invading her entire life…even though that is exactly what happens.
Steve has another new plan and it involves recording the status of the neighborhood when Morgan comes home, in addition to all other events. He is dedicated to give this new detective enough information so that an end is reached. He has recorded this information for today, and wants me to forward it to the detective.
Morgan got home at 8:30 pm – Steve did a drive of the neighborhood, and Keenan’s car was not in Brooke’s dad’s driveway. We all go to sleep, and starting at 11:00 pm Morgan’s motion lights go on and off at least 5 times. That motion light going off has recently always been precipitated by the MBR rear motion light going off (or on really). Five times this morning and four the evening:
- 9/29 23 34 MBR Rear Light
- 9/29 23 22 MBR Rear Light
- 9/29 23 14 MBR Rear Light
- 9/29 23 14 MBR Rear Light
- 9/29 4 39 MBR Rear Light
- 9/29 4 7 MBR Rear Light
- 9/29 3 31 MBR Rear Light
- 9/29 1 33 MBR Rear Light
- 9/29 1 32 MBR Rear Light
She does not hear noise, but at this point the lights put her into the “ready” mode, waiting for a tap or a BANG that may never come.
We tell Morgan that with the detective on board we must really strive to give him the best information we can. The sheriffs will work this out, and then it will be over.
Morgan is very animate that the detectives do not start from zero with suspects and then we go through another 2 month process again. She is certain it is Keenan and will report every little incident, as long as they agree to investigate every little incident.
Morgan wants the storm to be over
Morgan is also very distraught, she feels that they, the detectives, have no idea what she is living through and are treating it like it is some “ding, dong. ditch” game when it is anything but that. She wants the detectives to come and spend a night in her room so they can experience first hand just what is really going on. Of course there is the chance that they will somehow know it is not really Morgan in the room and lay off for the evening. But Morgan is confident that if we do this correctly her stalker will not know, and something really constructive will happen.
Steve and I agree to bring this idea up with the detective right away and we also are alarmed by the spike in motion detectors going off. Our week or so of quiet that came with the new video system is gone – replaced by a concentrated series of alarms going off in specific areas and at specific times.
We have only to corral him into a pattern and then turn the detectives loose on him. Steve and I explain to Morgan that this is our short term goal. She must be vigilant, stay safe and report the slightest thing. This is how we will catch him. Morgan is in agreement and will do just that.
I also call an old acquaintance who owns a security company and he is sympathetic to what is going on. He is willing to cut us a deal, but a case like this requires four men overnight, for however many nights it will take. At $90 an hour, per man we are looking at $3,600 per night to cover us, a few nights and it is over $10,000. We can not afford that much, so I tell him we have just gotten two detectives, and they have plans for two stakeouts. We will see how those go first and then decide about bringing him in.
(Police reports later show the “suspect” was not working this evening. On 9.29.2011 he worked from 1:00 am – 6:05 am & then from 6:32 am – 9:47 am… so he was free this evening to continue his torment)
Today is now September 27, 2012 and all of a sudden things that just came into view are important. Who will I support in the next election? Morgan was so excited when she was old enough to vote, and took it very seriously. Looking over all the information, and then asking me who we were going to vote for – I told her that it was really important for her to decide on her own who she thought would do the best job…of course Morgan said, “I was planning on that Mom, I was just wondering who you were leaning towards voting for.” That was then and this is now.
The question of who to vote for now takes on special meaning for me this year. It is simple, someone with common sense and integrity, who understands that stalking is a serious crime, the most underreported and insidious threat to our communities. Someone who wants to work with the citizens of this County – not just to make their own decisions and forget about the people they are supposed to represent. Steve and I will just have to ask ourselves who would Morgan have thought was best, who cared, and would care about protecting her from her stalker. The news crews are priming for round two of what really happened to Morgan Ingram, and we are so thankful for that. Oh, and a TV series wonders if they should come here to film, or we should go to Los Angeles, that’s easy. Come to where it is beautiful, then film…just don’t die while you’re here, our coroner is questionable at best.
Daddy missed you so much today Morgan, Wylah was on the lookout constantly too. We feel you, and want to do the best we can for you!!! And yes, I keep breathing, although there are times I wish I wasn’t – I wish I could be with you.
