if you don\u2019t want it printed, don\u2019t let it happen<\/em>\u201d The City of Aspen, Colorado lived under this statement for decades, and still does today.<\/p>\nBut stepping back a little, first a crime is committed, a woman is raped, beaten, and she sees her rapist, perhaps even picks him from a lineup, law enforcement is really on it.\u00a0 She knows who did it.\u00a0 But there has not been a trial yet.\u00a0 And this woman who was raped, beaten, and saw her rapist names him.\u00a0 Yes, she tells one person, or tells a thousand that she knows who did it and she knows his name.\u00a0 Does she slander him? No, he raped and beat her, and all she does is say the name of the man she knows to have done this atrocity to her.<\/p>\n
In this world of justice would you rather a man capable of such a crime to be named to warn others, or is it PC to stick with a vague description, but no name?\u00a0 The criminal has rights, yes indeed.\u00a0 The criminal\u2019s rights begin to end right when he commits a crime. The right to be free before he is tried is not even guaranteed.\u00a0 He will be incarcerated unless he is granted bail, as he awaits trial.\u00a0 Sometimes he is allowed bail, sometimes he isn\u2019t. \u00a0His name is put in the news before trial, people tell other people about him before he goes to trial, his name is everywhere before he is determined to be guilty, or not guilty, and this is fact.<\/p>\n
Morgan saw her stalker (not just his car, but also his face), while she was being stalked, at an intersection, at least four times. She saw him, and reported him by name (this is while there was a felony stalking case open to help her, and catch the suspect).\u00a0 And just so you know it was not just any meeting, he managed to be exactly in the middle of the intersection turning left to go down valley at the exact same time she was turning left to go up valley.\u00a0 Try it sometime…pick out a random car at a busy intersection and attempt to make a left turn at exactly the same time so you can come eye to eye with the driver of that random car as you pass in the middle of the intersection.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t do it.\u00a0 There are cars in front of you that mess with your timing, if they don\u2019t turn you can\u2019t either.\u00a0 The random car you are trying to meet up with has cars in front of it.\u00a0 Some drivers are more aggressive than others. I never came close.\u00a0 The driver would have had to pull over (and there is a perfect spot for it) and wait until he saw your car coming down the hill, across the highway, and then he could have timed it perfectly.<\/p>\n
Keenan did this as part of Morgan\u2019s stalking consecutively, and he would then engage in a cold threatening stare that Morgan said severely frightened her, causing extreme stress which would not pass in seconds, or minutes.\u00a0 Morgan would still be shaking when she got home, angry and scared, and I would hold her for the longest time. \u00a0And these weren’t the only times she actually saw him and reported it.<\/p>\n
Trying to calm a person that has been scared very badly is never easy, when it is your daughter there is another hurt that permeates, the wish to thrash out, the mothering instinct that says you have to protect your child.<\/p>\n
Morgan named him based upon a positive identification, with certainty, to classmates, instructors, friends, her parents, Deputies, and Detectives.<\/p>\n
Why do you think Keenan Van Ginkel was named so many times in the Sheriff\u2019s reports? That is in the ‘REAL’ Sheriffs reports, and even they are far from correct, and complete.\u00a0 But that too will come another day.<\/p>\n
And is this why she was killed? Was Morgan murdered days before she was to give video testimony before the Detectives?\u00a0 Is the state of law in Garfield County really such that if you murder your victim days before they give their testimony on camera about you, then there was no crime?\u00a0 Seems to be exactly what happened in this case. \u00a0Wouldn’t you be furious? \u00a0Wouldn’t you want to give a voice to your murdered child who can no longer speak out?<\/p>\n
And just to keep a perfect record, kind of like our murder rate here in Garfield County, do you know that none of these friends, instructors, classmates were ever interviewed during Morgan\u2019s Stalking?\u00a0 Not even a phone call. \u00a0They have spoken to me and can not understand why the Detective would not have taken their statement. \u00a0Why? \u00a0And after her death none of them including us, Steve and I, her parents were ever interviewed about actual eyewitness sightings of her stalker.\u00a0 \u201cWe follow the facts and see where they lead us\u201d.\u00a0 Which part of that got left out of the investigation of Morgan\u2019s Stalking and death?\u00a0 Sometimes I feel like all of it did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
