We did a power wash outside of our house to make sure the dirt under the windows would catch more footprints, the sheriff\u2019s deputies had suggested we try this.\u00a0 Someone even suggested to me that putting fresh soil around the whole house, directly under the windows, would yield even better shoe prints, but at this point, even though we are utilizing some of these suggestions, we feel that with all the motion detector lights, and motion alarms that we have been putting up, that the stalker should not be able to stand right up against our house and peer in the windows. And for some reason this gives us a measure of comfort…it should not have, because in these first beginning days of Morgan\u2019s stalking, none of us really knew how bad it would get.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t know that everything we used to keep him\/her (the stalker) out, just made it more of a challenge for him.\u00a0 We didn\u2019t realize that the more often the sheriffs had a presence here, the more excited it made him. \u00a0This was becoming a bigger and bigger challenge for him. \u00a0Morgan is still sleeping on the closet floor, and thankfully was not startled awake in her sleep tonight…we were all very happy.<\/p>\n

Today August 14,<\/strong> 2012<\/strong> my thoughts and feelings about stalking are so much more evolved than from a year ago. It seems simple to me that law enforcement should be able to differentiate between the different “typology” of stalkers, if they had had that training it would have made all the difference in the world. \u00a0Morgan’s stalker was never seen (but that is typical about most stalkers, especially in the beginning – they stalk and they surveil in the shadows), Morgan’s stalker seemed to “get off” on the sheriffs showing up at our house. What if they had been able to employ different degrees of urgency in catching a stalker, one that could become more lethal, and better warn the victims? \u00a0The stalkers who progress to become serial killers or murderers – shouldn’t law enforcement have a type of profile to make this determination? The next serial killer could be lurking outside your window. It’s the first thing we tell people now when they ask us for advice – to look up the “typology.” Criminals are constantly improving their protection under the law, while as for the victims, it has stayed the same – almost no rights. Remember that we are supposed to be guaranteed the most basic rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Morgan and the rest of us had very little of that during the time of her stalking. Yet even if the stalker had been caught in the beginning, the worst he would have faced was misdemeanor trespassing, right up there with jay walking, as one officer compared it to. Not much of a deterrent is it? The sheriff’s patrol officers really wanted to catch the stalker, but because of the protocol they employed of “catch him in the act”, they never stood a chance, and neither did we. \u00a0As long as he could outrun, or hide from everyone, and not get collared near the house, what would happen to him? Nothing. This was, as Mike Proctor<\/strong> puts it,\u00a0\u00a0“tombstone mentality” and Morgan paid the price for that mentality with her life<\/span><\/strong>. The stalker had more basic rights then we did, Morgan, and even our family were scrutinized far more closely then the stalker ever was – remember how the system used to allow the rape victim to be psychologically raped all over again when she reported the rape, and then again when the case finally went to trial?\u00a0 Here we go again, maybe that is why stalking is the most under reported crime at this time.\u00a0 The Constitution was written to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, and promote the general welfare – none of this existed for Morgan once she had a stalker. \u00a0After a effort by the Garfield County Sheriff\u2019s office to try to catch the stalker, using a protocol that doesn\u2019t work, (how many times have they actually caught a stalker in this county without the stalker just confessing?), the coroner\u2019s office never ordered an investigation to find out why or how our daughter died, and then the felony stalking investigation was officially closed 5 month after her murder.\u00a0 This approach will not protect you, you are not safe. \u00a0If it’s our government’s job to ensure its people these rights, then they failed miserably.\u00a0 Not only for ourselves, but for our community, as we believe this stalker has done this before, and will do it again. \u00a0I have received emails from other women that live in the neighbor right across from us that tell of similar incidents, incidents that were reported to the Garfield Sheriffs, one only 2 weeks before Morgan’s stalking started, one that even had a sheriff’s canine track the suspect, before losing him down the county road. \u00a0We had the first 2 patrol officers tell us about approximately 7 incidents similar to Morgan’s that happened in that subdivision the previous summer before Morgan’s.<\/p>\n

What would you do if your daughter, husband and yourself were being stalked and your child was murdered, but law enforcement didn’t care to investigate?<\/p>\n

We are so very blessed, and thankful that we have so many hundreds, and now almost thousands of people that want to help.\u00a0 Now we need our county to step up and admit, like all of us have done at one time or another, that mistakes were made, that they will now fix them and go after the person or persons responsible for our daughter\u2019s death.\u00a0 We want to do this out of love.\u00a0 Love for other children, daughters, sisters, young women, and anyone that may be in danger right now, or in the future, from a sick obsessed stalker that is still out there and will most likely to do it again, and again. \u00a0To us – this is not acceptable, and things have to change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
