Aspen Tree<\/p><\/div>\n

In the morning Steve and I went out to breakfast at our favorite local’s hangout in Carbondale, we texted Morgan (she was with a friend) to see if she would join us and she did.\u00a0 Every time we went there Morgan would order the exact same breakfast, so it got to the point where we would just order for her, after checking of course.<\/p>\n

After breakfast, Steve and I spent some time painting the motion detectors a brown camouflage color, so they did not stand out at night.\u00a0 The motion detectors were the most consistent weapon in our arsenal. \u00a0The stalker could not cross through an area covered without setting the detector off.\u00a0 The way they were deployed was giving us advance warning to a window banging event.\u00a0 It had not allowed us to actually catch him, but it was certainly the most promising.\u00a0 Early detection is the key, just like cancer, if you think about it.<\/p>\n

A friend of Morgan\u2019s texted her around 7:00 pm, \u201cDude. Now considering Stanford? They offer Romanian.\u201d \u00a0Earlier that Spring when Morgan was out on location, working and helping her big sister, they stopped at Stanford on the way home. Morgan was quite smitten with the possibility of attending the law school there.\u00a0 Morgan always had ultimate faith in herself, and was positive that if she knew the requirements, she could meet them.\u00a0 Morgan answered her friend, \u201cYesss!!\u201d And she responded, \u201cDoing some school research. Seeing what I can find. =D.\u201d<\/p>\n

Detective Glassmire was coming out for a stakeout, naturally we were kept in the dark about actual arrival and departure times, but he agreed to text me on the way out.\u00a0 There was no way I was waiting until the next day to find out what if anything had happened. At 2:06 am I could not contain myself any longer, and sent a text to him, \u201cBackyard motion detector light going on and off – same time as last night.\u201d Detective Glassmire texts back, \u201cOkay, we did leave at 12:45 am, and we did notice that the backyard motion detector did go on and off twice while we were watching it.\u00a0 Definitely was not us at that time, as we were very far from that light.\u00a0 Otherwise quiet while we were there.\u201d \u00a0I texted back, \u201cOK better luck next time.\u00a0 Morgan never alerted us to anything on her window tonight.\u201d\u00a0 Detective Glassmire texted back, \u201cOkay, that\u2019s where we focused on, we will be in touch soon, have a good night.\u201d\u00a0 I texted back, \u201cYou too.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was the night (the only night that I know of) that they did a stake out to try to catch the stalker.\u00a0 Detective Glassmire the next day suggested that maybe we had a faulty motion light and that\u2019s why it would go on and off in the middle of the night. \u00a0So Steve swapped it for another light that we could also see from our room, but hadn’t been going on and off, now that that light was put where the other light had been it still did the same thing, so it wasn’t defective – what we didn’t know at the time was that this was the area that was being triggered, because this is where the stalker was getting on to our roof!!!<\/p>\n

Today it is October 5, 2012<\/strong> \u2013 and I\u2019m sure I\u2019ve said this before, but it will always bear saying again.\u00a0 Months after Morgan was murdered we found evidence that the stalker had been gaining access to our roof from that exact area that would set off that motion light, he would run over the berm, towards the back of our house, and climb up the Aspen tree that was leaning right up against the back of our house.\u00a0 Once up on the roof he had the advantage to be able to see up and down the streets, as well as the advantage to hide where the roof comes together – it created a perfect hiding place for him.\u00a0 He could also lean over the edge of the roof, body against the metal gutter over Morgan\u2019s room, and see in to her room, or dangle something down to tap or bang on her window, ever eluding the Sheriff\u2019s and all others. \u00a0He was “getting off” in being able to make fools out of the Sheriffs.<\/p>\n

Except for one, Rhonda\u2019s little dog Sammie, next door, that used to bark in the middle of the night at his window that faced Morgan\u2019s side of the house.\u00a0 But, unfortunately dogs can\u2019t talk (or at least most of us don\u2019t understand what they are saying), so we never knew that the stalker was on our roof.\u00a0 But the little dog knew, and he tried to tell us…so many times.<\/p>\n
