\"Morgan's<\/a>

Just like the rings of a tree, every year we grow, always building on what has come before.<\/p><\/div>\n

Every day I sit in front of a computer and relive a day that led up to my daughter\u2019s death.\u00a0 I was truly uncertain as to how she had died at first, and Steve and I sought out a second opinion.\u00a0 We were shocked<\/strong>, in denial, exercising avoidance, you name a psychological name that protects you from the brutal truth, and there is a good chance it was humming full speed in us at that time.<\/p>\n

Along this path to recovery we had a third opinion, a fourth, a fifth, so many we have lost track.\u00a0 All wonderful caring professionals I will never be able to thank enough for the time they took, and the compassion with which they treated our family.\u00a0 Completely diametrically opposed to the way we were treated by the Coroner Trey Holt and the subcontractor who does his autopsies Dr. Robert Kurtzman.\u00a0 At one point I remember Steve pointing out that if the score was being kept it was 12 -1, Twelve professionals certain that the one, Dr. Robert Kutzman was<\/strong> wrong<\/strong>.\u00a0 As you can imagine that did not go over well with Dr. Robert Kurtzman, \u00a0obviously not used to being questioned or having to answer tough questions he became frustrated and dismissed it all as \u201cnone of these other doctors can testify, only I can testify in court, and he was so wrong about that too. \u00a0 But he and Trey Holt had their own agenda, and I really am at a loss to explain what that might have been.\u00a0 The well being of our family as we dealt with this nightmare, and the pursuit of justice for Morgan Jennifer Ingram did not exist for those two.<\/p>\n

Even Thomas Walton, of whom I spoke yesterday, he may have really been trying to do a good job, but if his requirements were zero, and his training was zero, and if part of his job description was to make sure his boss got the job of handling the funeral to come, well if that was the case, he did as good as he could have been expected to.\u00a0 They are completely separate entities you know, or at least they are supposed to be. The Coroner’s office \u2013 ultimate authority for the cause of death, none higher \u2013 then the funeral home is what comes after, and only<\/strong> after the County Coroner has completed his job and released the body. \u00a0That they are the same person is problematic to be sure, but that is sort of the law here in Colorado.<\/p>\n

I have found it really important to share what happened, and along the path to recovery the most amazing thing has happened.\u00a0 Sharing the story has become the rock around which Steve and I rebuild\u2026 our family, the search for truth, and justice for Morgan, and even ourselves.<\/p>\n

It has been on my mind for a long time and I believe today is the day. \u00a0So many have shared with me their stories of stalking, as you know there have even been a few arrests across the country, \u00a0arrests I am told would not have happened were it not for Morgan\u2019s story being shared. \u00a0People have realized by reading her story that they have a stalker and need to report it and not just keep it to themselves.<\/p>\n

So I want to do something, I want to ask all of you who have been victims of stalking to try something.\u00a0 Share your story with Morgan, don\u2019t use your real name, maybe initials.\u00a0 But tell what happened, and how it made you feel, and what you did about it, and the State it happened in, short or long as you want.\u00a0 This is all in the hopes that it will help to heal and, my fingers are crossed here, \u00a0rip the cover off this crime called stalking for all the country, and the world to see. \u00a0 So keep that in mind as you write.\u00a0 Then send it to me as an \u00a0anonymous tip.\u00a0 I think it would be a good thing to have a group of stories of stalking.\u00a0 People are so absolutely amazed by the story of Morgan\u2019s stalking, and certain it has to be told.\u00a0 Maybe your story will touch a chord too, and maybe that<\/strong> is the real story here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
