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

Morgan, as we all did, tried so hard to carry on with her life throughout her stalking.\u00a0 She walked her puppy, visited with friends and went to school, that last semester when everything is just about taken care of, and you have to take only a few classes, but then you also take fun classes, pointe ballet, and jazz dance, just for the workout, and release, that was what Morgan did.<\/p>\n

We all lived in a bubble where we thought the apprehension of the criminal would ultimately be by the Sheriff’s Department.\u00a0 And as I look through report after report I see a problem with the approach \u2013 it goes like this.<\/p>\n

After four months of stalking, Keenan would have been facing these charges:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Third degree criminal trespass – (petty offense)<\/li>\n
  2. Harassment (repeated communication at inconvenient hours) – (misdemeanor)<\/li>\n
  3. Stalking – (felony)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Keenan already has two priors of criminal trespass, and it did little to stop him, because here he was, right back at it again.<\/p>\n

    Others \u2013 both Garfield officers and Private Investigators have suggested different laws enacted to deal with the crimes that were being committed, using\u00a0those\u00a0laws would have given the investigation more teeth,\u00a0seriousness, and more chances for success, specifically:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Felony Vandalism \u2013 being championed by one of the Deputies (felony)<\/li>\n
    2. Invasion of privacy for Sexual Gratification – A sex crime which can start as a misdemeanor, and escalate to a felony.<\/li>\n
    3. And Felony Stalking (felony)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Laws which allow for early confrontation and quicker arrest, before the crime escalates. \u00a0Read through the crime logs from any agency and I guarantee you will not see many\u00a0arrests, arraignments, and high (serious) bails based on the charge of “third degree criminal trespass.” \u00a0It is a joke at best.\u00a0 If you ever find yourself or anyone you love in a situation such as Morgan\u2019s, ask about the laws, ask your victims rights coordinator about the laws, even research the laws yourself. \u00a0If the laws that relate to what is going on are not being employed, demand to know why. \u00a0Steve and I did not. \u00a0We left it all in the hands of the Sheriffs and that was a big mistake.\u00a0 They of course did not want to see Morgan die, but they also were not prepared to protect us against the level of threat we were facing.<\/p>\n

      Once you have a suspect, I suggest you name him as the suspect that he or she is.\u00a0 It is important for your friends and neighbors to know, who the suspect is and how dangerous is he considered! \u00a0Just so you all know I am not carelessly throwing out names, I will print a brief exchange that took place between Sheriffs concerning the suspect Keenan, and his father:<\/p>\n

      Subject of Narrative: <\/i><\/b>Suspect Interview with lead Felony Stalking Sheriff’s Detective, Keenan VanGinkel<\/i><\/p>\n

      On November 16, 2011, I overheard dispatch notifying the zone one deputies to contact Wade VanGinkel reference his son being a suspect in a case.\u00a0 The dispatcher advised that Wade wanted to know if there was a case open against his son.\u00a0 I noted that Keenan, Wade\u2019s son, is a suspect in this case.<\/i><\/p>\n

      I contacted Wade who was at the Sheriff\u2019s office when he made the call to dispatch.\u00a0 I offered to Wade that I could meet him and Keenan at around 1600 hours that day.\u00a0 Wade told me that he had heard from his son that Keenan was being accused of stalking a girl.\u00a0 Furthermore, Wade said that there was somebody on facebook.com threatening him.\u00a0 Wade also said that he heard that there were some deputies at City Market, El Jebel, looking for Keenan.<\/i><\/p>\n

      This, of course, is the stalking that, James Harris, Brooke Harris’ father did not know was happening on the Dr. Phil episode and “wished we had told him.” \u00a0Actually Brooke did not speak up to correct her father about the stalking, the stalking that Brooke had heard there was video evidence that exonerated her boyfriend Keenan. \u00a0I’ve come across four\u00a0instances\u00a0of Keenan referring to this “video evidence that exonerated,” day when he “heard about an incident” but he was in Texas so it could not have been him.<\/p>\n

      Also, I have heard that you do not have to go out into the wild web very far to read that there are people stating now that there was never a stalking, either Morgan or me made it all up. \u00a0Does this mean if I pretend hard enough that Morgan will not be murdered? \u00a0Unfortunately I know all to well that this is not possible. \u00a0What practical purpose in the search for truth this pretending there was not a stalking serves is beyond me. \u00a0I lived through it, day by day, Morgan did her best to be brave and\u00a0persevere, right up until she was killed. \u00a0Morgan’s stalking and murder\u00a0was every bit the nightmare I hopefully have portrayed it to be.\u00a0 And it obviously was very, very real.\u00a0 Lastly, I have been assured that NOBODY has been cleared of the crimes committed against Morgan and our family.<\/p>\n

      Meanwhile it seems now that back then everyone knew who the stalker was, James Harris named Keenan as the stalker.\u00a0 Brooke Harris told Steve and I in person that she \u201cheard there was video evidence that exonerated her boyfriend Keenan.\u201d\u00a0 Very poignant choice of words \u201cexonerated\u201d, by the way, because it specifically means you were convicted and then later found not to be guilty.\u00a0 This was in response to the videotaped march of an as of yet unidentified perp around our house.\u00a0 Unfortunately for the best laid plans of those involved, most everyone who has seen the full video agrees it is a female, and all other images of the stalker are male.\u00a0 Keenan names Brooke as the potential stalker.\u00a0 And if you remember our neighbor Elliott, he thought the stalker, at least one of them, was James Harris.<\/p>\n

      The argument referred to by Keenan\u2019s father Wade, on facebook.com can be found on this post from December 28, 2012 excerpts from Facebook “threats”<\/a>\u00a0read what Keenan has to say, and you tell me if he does not give indications of knowledge and guilt, because I think that he does.<\/p>\n

      So you can see that I name names, but everyone else is also naming names.\u00a0 Actually everyone else seems to have a person to point fingers at, anyone but themselves.\u00a0 Horrors for Morgan, and after her death, casts of characters all employing their own form of protection…Internet Cyber Stalking and Trolls.<\/p>\n

      Crimes were committed, horrific crimes were committed.\u00a0 Situations such as Morgan and our family faced can quickly get out of hand.\u00a0 The two weeks surrounding her death contained so many little events.\u00a0 Taken together they point very strongly to a seriously increased danger for a victim in Morgan\u2019s place.\u00a0 And they also point strongly to the potential for an act of desperation on the part of the perps.\u00a0 The lead detective even forecast it.\u00a0 There has been over a year, and a half on the part of Steve and I, and so many others with far more expertise to piece it all together on a timeline.\u00a0 It was all too real, and it is the truth, I will defend that fact under oath in any court in the land.<\/p>\n

      But that is not the real reason I\u2019m writing this today.\u00a0 It is for all of the victims that might happen across this and find some good advice, or a frightening parallel.\u00a0 To know the true dangers of stalking, how one day we were just a happy family planning our next outing, and the next day we were victims of stalking, and a peeping tom, who turned our lives upside down.\u00a0 How one day our Detective warned that he thought the stalking was going to escalate, and three days later Morgan was dead.\u00a0 How out of control it becomes.\u00a0 How everything you ever planned, or dreamed of is suddenly changed forever. \u00a0Steve and I will never get to give Morgan a beautiful wedding like her sister had, we will never get to play with the grandchildren she was planning on sharing with us, we will never ever get another hand squeeze that meant “I love you” from her, we will never get to hear about what her next big adventure was to be, because we no longer have Morgan with us on this earth – we will suffer her loss until the day we die.<\/p>\n

      I never want any of this to happen to another girl, another family when the resources and the knowledge exist to prevent it.\u00a0 As always – in Morgan\u2019s memory, and honor – I wish for you to have the awareness and knowledge we did not to keep you all safe from such tragedy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
