\"seamless-crime-law-or-legal-background-tile-texture-with-lots-of-icons-of-different-item\"<\/a>Let’s start with what is a cover-up<\/strong>? \u00a0Whenever someone mentions a cover-up immediately my mind wonders what are they talking about…so I looked up all the definitions about what constitutes a cover-up and here is a very easy explanation that you can read on\u00a0http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cover-up<\/a><\/p>\n

A cover-up is an attempt, whether successful or not, to conceal evidence of wrongdoing, error, incompetence or other embarrassing information. \u00a0In a passive cover-up, information is simply not provided; in an active cover-up, deception is used.<\/p>\n

Wikipedia goes on to say the expression is usually applied to people in positions of authority, in Morgan’s case that would be the Garfield County Sheriff Lou Vallario, Detective Rob Glassmire (on an aside you should know Detective Glassmire is now the Garfield County Coroner), Forensic Pathologist Robert Kurtzman, as well as the then Garfield County Coroner Trey Holt, who abuse their power to avoid or silence criticism or to deflect guilt of wrongdoing. \u00a0Those who initiate a cover-up (for their allies) may be responsible for a misdeed, a breach of trust or duty or a crime.<\/p>\n

While the terms are often used interchangeably, cover-up<\/strong> involves withholding incriminatory evidence, while whitewash<\/strong> involves releasing misleading evidence. \u00a0In our daughter Morgan’s case what was done absolutely falls under the cover-up category (passive as well as active) even though there were also incidents that were done that can be considered a whitewash. \u00a0And the really frightening part of this is that I know the officials involved in this know exactly what they did and are continuing to do it…this now brings up criminal intent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

People ask me how Steve and I are able to fight against this kind of a cover-up. \u00a0Well it’s not easy – it has been extremely painful and very difficult. \u00a0An investigation into Morgan’s suspicious death should have been opened over three years ago, but it wasn’t, and ever since then there have been people involved in keeping information from us so we will give up, but we haven’t. \u00a0We have been able to investigate and get an incredible amount of evidence including motive…yes, I said motive.<\/p>\n

This was a flawed investigation, mishandled from the start, and as the District Attorney Sherry Caloia said, \u201cIt was botched.\u201d \u00a0As Morgan’s parents we would like to know why our questions were never answered, why our requests (certified, and sent to all) were never fulfilled, and why the coroner choose to cover up Morgan\u2019s true manner of death. \u00a0We want justice for our daughter Morgan Jennifer Ingram, plain and simple – something every victim of stalking and murder deserves. \u00a0Lately I have been reading about sheriff’s deputies testifying in cases where it was proven to be a cover-up. \u00a0They testify about the “code of silence” in law enforcement and now rank-and-file officers are facing charges and those in charge are being indicted on obstruction charges. \u00a0Maybe the seeds<\/span> of change are starting to sprout.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Morgan was murdered in cold blood, it was a premeditated murder that was executed in order to silence a witness, and she deserved an investigation into her murder – not a cover up of her murder! \u00a0Morgan\u2019s stalking and murder is an act of domestic terrorism in my opinion. \u00a0We want justice for Morgan and we do not want her stalker\/murderer to get away with this crime. \u00a0If Morgan\u2019s case can not be a case then I fear for other victims of stalking victims – if their stalker can just kill them and then it\u2019s case over then there is no future for them. \u00a0If the Garfield County Sheriff\u2019s department can just shake their head and slam the door and sweep Morgan’s stalking and murder under the rug by misrepresenting the facts of her case then what is the remedy?\u00a0 Where can families turn?<\/p>\n

In the meantime our journey hasn’t been without sacrifices. \u00a0We are still being stalked – we have been since Morgan’s death. \u00a0We didn’t realize it until a few months after her murder. \u00a0Then after this blog came out the stalking escalated. \u00a0And then 15 months after her death our stalking became physically damaging. But who were we supposed to turn to? \u00a0Obviously not the Garfield County sheriffs. \u00a0So 2 years after Morgan’s murder we faced that pivotal moment…we realized that we had to move out of Colorado (our home) and enter the Victim’s Address Confidentiality Program in another state. \u00a0I did not want to do this. \u00a0I wanted to dig my heals in and stand my ground, but some very wise experts told us it was better to move and continue our fight then to end up dead with no one left to fight for justice for Morgan…so we left. \u00a0And so we continue our fight. \u00a0Staying in the state of Colorado was not an option, because in Colorado that program is run by the sheriffs. \u00a0We felt at that time the sheriffs were possibly involved in a cover-up, and we had no idea how deep it went, so we could not take any chances…we were told to get to a safe place, and we did.<\/p>\n

It has been life-changing & much too hard to think that anyone else could continue on in the lead for the fight for justice. \u00a0The advice I received finally convinced me to no longer allow my own ego to get in the way of doing the right thing. \u00a0I am grateful for the opportunity to have such wise people in my life.<\/p>\n

To this day we are still being stalked – this is easily ascertained by looking at all the anonymous websites & blogs on the internet dedicated to spreading mistruths about Morgan, her family and the events of Morgan’s stalking and murder. \u00a0These people come on every & any forum that mentions Morgan’s case or her name and attack – they attack under fake profiles. \u00a0We are continually thwarting the attempts to “hack” into our lives. \u00a0I guess this small group of co-conspirators must have a lot of time on their hands, or they have convinced themselves that they need to do everything they can to make sure Morgan’s death is not investigated. \u00a0Because they know if it is investigated the person(s) they are protecting will be convicted and the people involved in the cover-up can be indicted. \u00a0So for these people it is a matter of life & death.<\/p>\n

I am convinced this is only a small group of family & friends of the criminal(s), but they create fake accounts and pretend to be many more people. \u00a0It is interesting because for the last few years the wording and comments that are made on the different forums are always the same, so you can tell the same people are writing them. \u00a0This is just another form of stalking – it’s called cyber-stalking, and that is a crime as well.<\/p>\n

I also constantly get spoofed calls and text messages on my cell phone, even though I have changed my phone number. \u00a0But I must say that all the cyber-stalking, bullying and threats will not deter me from my path. \u00a0When I wake up every single morning I have a sense of purpose in my heart & no one can take that away from me – no one. \u00a0I have been extremely blessed to have so many wonderful people come into my life over the last few years. \u00a0People that have joined in our fight for truth and justice.<\/p>\n

A little idea to think about today…Kindness is like a cat. \u00a0When you give it away it usually comes back.<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0Wouldn’t it be nice if all these mean hearted people used all their energies to spread kindness instead of hate and lies?<\/p>\n
