\"snowandsun\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Detective Rob called in the early evening and asked if I had seen the autopsy report.\u00a0 I had not, and told him that.\u00a0 He was surprised the Coroner had not called to tell us about it, but he did have a copy on his computer, and was going to send it over as soon as he warned me about something that was on it first.<\/p>\n

Naturally I went numb.\u00a0 It was some horrific detail of her death that had been found, and I was thinking of every one I knew as he gathered himself to tell me.\u00a0 Rob started by saying he was not sure why they had worded it so strongly, because it really wasn\u2019t like how it came out on the report. I couldn\u2019t take the waiting, and asked him to just tell me.\u00a0 He was obviously flummoxed by this, but finally told me that it said Morgan was an occasional cocaine user.\u00a0 Compared to everything I had just been thinking this was at first not so bad, but immediately I reversed and thought no this is really bad, because it’s not true – it’s actually laughable.<\/p>\n

I asked Rob why it said that, where is this coming from?\u00a0 Rob said it was from his notes.\u00a0 He was the only one doing interviews, and he had talked to two people, and they had both said that she had tried cocaine once or twice.\u00a0 He added that even the most straight-laced officer at the Sheriff\u2019s Department had probably tried cocaine at least once.\u00a0 He repeated that he was surprised with how it had been worded, knowing the reality, and just wanted me to know that before I saw it.<\/p>\n

I dropped that point for the moment and started to ask about what else the PER said, how did she die, what had they found?\u00a0 He didn\u2019t say much preferring that I read the actual report, but he did say that basically they didn\u2019t find anything, only a sign of second hand cigarette smoke, but no alcohol, and no illegal drugs.\u00a0 He said he would send it over right now, and if we had questions we could just call the Coroner.<\/p>\n

Well – it came as two attachments, first one was 7 pages and titled Postmortem Examination Report.\u00a0 The first page was about Morgan and from what position WE had found her body in, to what SHE had been doing the last few weeks to what WE thought when she came home the night before it was all wrong, all totally wrong.\u00a0 We were the only people with first hand knowledge of all of this, and we had been asked very few things and the answers were not what we said – they were completely wrong. \u00a0 I wondered then, and I would only wonder more in the future, where all of this incorrect information came from.<\/p>\n

I read on and stopped dead when I found that her manner of death was natural and from a \u00a0condition she never had.\u00a0 We had some work ahead of us.\u00a0 Steve was reading in silence over my shoulder, and strangely found hope in the last sentence which read:<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to an active stalking investigation at the time of this report, and the potential influence of stress, the manner of death may be reclassified if additional information becomes available.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Steve hung on that sentence.\u00a0 To him it may have been stress that killed Morgan, and naturally the stress now present in her life that had never been there before was her stalker. \u00a0This was something that had to be ruled out completely, it was in his DNA to do this, and he would.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t going to be fast enough for me, but I was confident as I could be that it would happen.<\/p>\n

Morgan did not deserve to be stalked the last four months of her life and then die of the stress of her stalking \u2013 nobody does.\u00a0\u00a0 This had to be taken seriously.<\/p>\n

Today is February 2, 2013 \u2013 <\/strong>\u00a0now of course we know Morgan did not die from the stress of the stalker, we have learned a lot in the last year. \u00a0You can bet over the past year I have seen the two witnesses that detective Rob spoke of that night, actually there were three, and why he condensed it to two is just another of those things I am going to have to wait to find out.<\/p>\n

I look at this particular fact and see it as a microcosm of Morgan’s investigation.\u00a0 One of the witnesses was not even in the country, he was relaying something he had heard and believes he was very clear about that fact.\u00a0 The second witness was there at the time in question, but did not actually see it, only assumed it.\u00a0 The third witness said something like absolutely not, she spends days helping people get off drugs, why would she do drugs?\u00a0 His was the statement that was discounted completely.<\/p>\n

Why do I care – you wonder? \u00a0People try drugs, people experiment with drugs, it happens and I agree completely that it was possible.\u00a0 But Morgan wasn\u2019t one of those people that cared about drugs.\u00a0 She had seen up close over her life the harm they can do, and chose not to.<\/p>\n

When you are stalked for four months and then found dead what kind of question is that anyway?\u00a0 Did she drink or do drugs?\u00a0 A question or two about her stalker might have been more fitting, given the situation.\u00a0 They ran a tox screen for the drugs of abuse and the results came back zero. \u00a0Did they run a sexual assault panel – no! \u00a0Then write a one pager to sum up her life, and say occasional cocaine user. \u00a0Based on what? \u00a0A person chosen to be ignored, a person not in the country, a person who assumed it. \u00a0How nice for Morgan.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like she spent eighteen months of her life in drug rehab.\u00a0 She spent zero. \u00a0It sort of got under my skin that she spent her life doing one thing, actually became known for it, and was summarized as doing the opposite – this was not fair to Morgan, and that is why I am so upset about it. \u00a0Morgan never even stole a piece of gum in her lifetime – anything she had she would gladly, and many times did, give to others that needed it more at the time. \u00a0 I am not trying to make Morgan out to be an angel – but I am telling the truth about her – she was extremely caring, and as close to an earth angel as I have ever seen. \u00a0How can these people that are sworn to protect victims like Morgan try to trash her instead. \u00a0We now know that even though she was a victim of stalking there was no rape kit administered. \u00a0We know that no evidence was taken at the death scene except for her electronics, one old diary (not the most recent one), and our stainless pill holder that I kept in my car with 3 emergency pills. \u00a0Her death scene seemed to be treated as though she never had been stalked for 4 months – even though Steve and I were victims of the stalking – I saw the stalker – our cameras caught the stalker – we all heard the noises made by the stalker – this was a felony stalking case. \u00a0Am I missing something? \u00a0If you die in Garfield County, after being a stalking victim, do you basically get thrown under the bus? – God forbid someone realizes there was a murder committed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
