&#8220;if anything it&#8217;s most likely going to escalate,&#8221; it was also that he wasn&#8217;t sure if Keenan&#8217;s girlfriend Brooke was not involved at all &#8211; OR, as he had begun to think more so lately, that she was very involved. \u00a0When your daughter is murdered somehow the who was more involved loses some of its fire.<\/p>\n<p>So many lies have been uncovered that it is hard, really hard, not to point fingers at those who knew, and chose to pretend they did not. \u00a0Such as even the father of Brooke. \u00a0He confessed on the morning that Morgan&#8217;s body was found, to a client and certainly, by his own admissions, \u00a0knew enough to put a stop to it, but chose not to. \u00a0Instead he found it more important to protect his daughter.<\/p>\n<p>There is a trend unraveling in Colorado these days, parents exposing the crimes and culpability of their children so others will not suffer. \u00a0It is an in-depth and complex idea. \u00a0Just the slightest word from a parent to law enforcement, that is willing to listen, has solved some of the shocking crimes that plague Colorado of late. \u00a0But you see there are two parts to the equation. \u00a0First there is a parent willing to give up the knowledge, and then there is law enforcement willing to listen. Here are some examples recently in Colorado:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0His mother called 911 on Oct. 23, saying he wanted to confess to the\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000000;\">Jessica Ridgeway Murder: Austin Sigg, teen suspect in slaying of 10-year-old Colo. girl\u00a0<\/span>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2013\/04\/12\/colorado-teen-pleads-not-guilty-in-murder-10-year-old-girl\/#ixzz2dt6rZTJR\">http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2013\/04\/12\/colorado-teen-pleads-not-guilty-in-murder-10-year-old-girl\/#ixzz2dt6rZTJR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>In a plot to kidnap, beat a man and then dump him in the woods to starve<\/strong>, the parents of some of the boys that were plotting this crime turned over information about the alleged plot to the Eagle County Sheriff&#8217;s Office and Basalt Police Department.

And hope that in so doing many more will be saved. \u00a0Stalking needs to be taken seriously by all offices of law enforcement (not just some), by all judges (not just some) and no more excuses, no more hidden agendas, we want transparency. \u00a0We miss you Morgan, but we will never give up the quest for justice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the world grows it learns. \u00a0The FBI has begun to further understand the intricate nuances of stalkers and their multifaceted dangers. \u00a0Click here for a great article to read about predatory stalkers.\u00a0 Keenan Vanginkel stalked and escalated, as predicted &hellip;
