Morgan\u2019s friend Nathan slept over last night and she slept out on the couch as well.\u00a0 They watched movies till late in the night and it was a quiet night for us all.\u00a0 In the morning Nathan and Steve left for work and Morgan got dressed to go to ballet and dance classes, but then she was a little too\u00a0squeamish and\u00a0decided to go to her first class, and see how it went, and then she came home, and skipped her second class.\u00a0 She was thinking maybe a new flu was coming on and she didn\u2019t want to infect her friends. \u00a0She also wanted to be back on her feet for the weekend, as she would be taking care of young children for the returning military families, so I encouraged her to take it easy and rest, and she did.<\/p>\n

Steve came by at 3:00 and was all caught up with his work.\u00a0 He was ready to start the move of his shop and could not wait for the whole move of shop and house to be complete. \u00a0Of course we had not really started yet so that sounded very\u00a0optimistic.\u00a0 He dropped Nate off in Carbondale and went to his now old shop to pack his office.\u00a0 Morgan went to Carbondale with Wylah and I waited at home for Detective Glassmire. \u00a0I thought it was just going to be another regular meeting with nothing much to report, but I was in for a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n

At 3:51 pm I sent a text to Detective Glassmire, \u201cRob do you know about when you might be here?\u00a0 Morgan is about 10 minutes from our house and I just want to let her know to come home in time.\u00a0 Thanks.\u201d\u00a0 He replied back, \u201cI am in Carbondale now working on my laptop, I can get there anytime, let me know.\u201d\u00a0 He also told me he was just coming to check the cameras and Morgan could just stay in Carbondale, so I relayed that message to her.<\/p>\n

Detective Glassmire came over and I helped him get the ladder from the garage. He went out and checked his cameras and saw nothing.\u00a0 I explained to him about the motion detectors that had been taken from their \u201cperches” and moved to the ground and he shook his head.\u00a0 I went on to tell him that Steve had been up really early researching the event because it really bothered him, how it had been done with such apparent ease.<\/p>\n

I told him how our motion equipment had been detecting something in the front corner of the house and Steve had come up with yet another plan to paint two detectors to match the surroundings and then placed them both aimed at the corner of the house. \u00a0Then he made sure that two of the video cameras were aimed right at them and was so certain he would catch something.\u00a0 He wore clothes to bed that night he was so sure.<\/p>\n

But I told Detective Glassmire that it wasn\u2019t even fifteen minutes later that they were both on the ground and nothing was caught on the cameras.\u00a0 So what was really bothering Steve was that this morning until he saw a \u201cMyth Busters Youtube\u201d that showed how easy it was to defeat a motion detector and he later found how a person with a laser light, something he had seen off in the distance months ago, could mess with our video cameras easily and Steve ended up leaving for work completely distraught that it might be that the stalker was slowing down for winter and it might well be that he had figured ways around all of the\u00a0deterrents\u00a0we had and that was why we weren\u2019t seeing anything anymore. \u00a0But then I told him how Morgan was still getting startled awake at all hours.<\/p>\n

I asked the detective if it was possible we were so over-vigilant that we had begun hearing things or was the stalker right here more than ever? \u00a0I told him how we were coming to wits end with all of this. \u00a0Glassmire looked at me for a second and then bent down picked up a dirt clod from the ground and flung it at our house.\u00a0 I jumped and it struck the house with a loud \u201cBANG\u201d. \u00a0He looked at me and said, \u201cYou are not crazy Toni, there is your stalker, he is still here.\u201d<\/p>\n

I agreed with the detective and told him that Steve does not know what to do.\u00a0 Rob told me that he thought if anything he was going to escalate now.\u00a0 That really scared me and I asked what we should do?\u00a0 He told me not to worry, but be careful.\u00a0 He was going to pick up Keenan\u2019s hours the following Tuesday and he thought that would be a big step, maybe even the final breakthrough in an arrest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This was shocking to me. I had not expected to hear that. \u00a0A long time ago, we were told an arrest would come only after catching him at the house.\u00a0 I asked him if he really thought that, and he said that he did.\u00a0 He also said the formal interview with Morgan would help too, and that was scheduled for the following Tuesday.\u00a0 It was exciting to think that all of a sudden it had come so far.\u00a0 This morning Steve was thinking it was all a lost cause and now it was on the verge of ending \u2013 in arrest.<\/p>\n

We said our goodbyes around 5:00 pm and Detective Glassmire put the ladder away and left.\u00a0 I called Steve and had a quick talk with him about all of the positive developments and he was cheered up.\u00a0 He left to come home, and just as I began to peel potatoes for dinner, there was a loud \u201cBANG\u201d again on the front of the house that was sharper and louder than Detective Glassmire\u2019s dirt clod.\u00a0 It was far more like a gunshot against the garage, and I ran out front to see what it was. \u00a0The dogs were startled, as was I, but my first thought was a sonic boom (which I had never heard in Colorado before – only as a child in California) or maybe something large, like the ladder in the garage falling over and hitting something.<\/p>\n

Only like everything else there was nothing, by the time I got to the front of the house there was no car just leaving the street, no people closing the front door behind them \u2013 nothing. \u00a0I just stood and watched the empty street, tree branches slowly waving in a light breeze and giving up their last leaves.\u00a0 I opened the garage and searched its corners – nothing was out of place.\u00a0 It was so maddening!<\/p>\n

I closed up and went back in the house.\u00a0 Then I texted Morgan when dinner was going to be and asked when could she be home.\u00a0 She told me that Nate had just left for the bar and she was waiting for him, but thought it wouldn\u2019t be more than fifteen minutes.<\/p>\n

Steve drove up and I heard his truck, \u00a0he came in and we talked about my afternoon meeting with Detective Glassmire.\u00a0 Steve was calmed so much by all the good news and went to clean up before dinner.<\/p>\n

Morgan came home, ate with us and was very excited by everything the detective had told me.\u00a0 She went to sleep around 10:00 pm, and as I got in bed I saw flashlights in back of house.\u00a0 Steve told me it was Patrol Officers looking for something, and as I was falling asleep, I told Steve they were increasing the patrols by the house too. \u00a0It was all such good news and I was only too content to not argue with any of it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today is November 24, 201<\/strong>2 \u2013 And as I look back that night was so positive.\u00a0 I really felt that they really, really wanted to catch this stalker and protect Morgan – it just hasn\u2019t happened yet.\u00a0 I know it all went horribly wrong but I am still not sure why. \u00a0Parts of the truth are still hidden in the shadows. \u00a0But as Steve and I have found out bit by bit this year, so much happened over the next few days that was stacked against Morgan, only there was also the component of so much that did not happen to help protect her. \u00a0For others we must change not just one but both of those factors.<\/p>\n

I missed Morgan so very much this week, and I knew it would be hard.\u00a0 I want to thank all of you for your emails and words of encouragement. \u00a0I agree with so many of you that after I make it through this week I will get stronger and stronger.\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to get back home and put it all together now, even the parts I have been putting off. \u00a0This year has been such a blur when I think about it, but for some reason I can\u2019t really explain, it has all become more in focus now. \u00a0Thank you all for sharing Morgan\u2019s story with me, it has been such an honor to be able to share it.<\/p>\n
