It has now been exactly 9 years since I woke up, on that cold Friday morning, December 2, 2011, and found Morgan&#8217;s body&#8230;there are no words I can ever use to describe what that felt like. The pain was indescribable, and still is.<\/p>\n<p>This morning, Steve said to me, while choking back his tears, &#8220;They murdered our baby, then lied about it!&#8221; What can I say to him? There is nothing I can do to change what was done to her, or how officials circled the wagons, and lied in order to change the truth, to cover up a murder. It is all so very wrong, but I know life is not always fair and never has been.<\/p>\n<p>So, in all these past 9 years, Steve and I have pushed forward, trying everything we could think of to have Morgan&#8217;s case investigated (her murder was NEVER investigated). We are not giving up &#8211; we are gearing up for another big push. Every year we receive more and more information and evidence, as to what happened to her, and who was involved in her murder, and the subsequent cover-up of that murder.<\/p>\n<p>Today &amp; tonight, our family will grieve over the loss of our special and much loved Morgan. I know she will be wrapping her arms around us while we cry &#8211; I only wish we could see her again, hug her again, and kiss her once more.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11075\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/morgansstalking.com\/?attachment_id=11075\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blind-lady-justice.jpg?fit=318%2C159&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"318,159\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"blind-lady-justice\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blind-lady-justice.jpg?fit=318%2C159&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11075\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blind-lady-justice.jpg?resize=318%2C159&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"318\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blind-lady-justice.jpg?w=318&amp;ssl=1 318w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blind-lady-justice.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My heart is breaking, but I still believe in &#8220;Lady Justice&#8221; and will continue to fight, till my dying breath, to see justice served for Morgan.
