He wanted to think like the stalker, and observe our house for hours &#8211; he told me that he felt like a peeping tom, like he was violating our neighbors privacy, and from the berm, behind our house in the dark, he was able to see directly into the back of our house, living room, kitchen and all the way down the hall to the front door.\u00a0 But, if I were in our house at night, and someone (like the stalker) was standing on the berm watching, I would never notice him.\u00a0 He was right, I looked out, knowing right where he was out there on the berm, and couldn\u2019t see him.\u00a0 I hope we get the curtains delivered ASAP! I start to get that creepy tingling feeling again that shoots up my spine, and crawls over my scalp &#8211; here goes my intuition again&#8230;my internal gut feeling that danger is just outside our home.<\/p>\n<p>When Steve came back in, well after midnight, we discussed what he saw while out on the berm, he said between our house and our next door neighbor Rhonda\u2019s house he had observed a little red pinpoint light, at about head height that had moved to the left out of sight.\u00a0 So I went into my office in the front of the house, with the lights off, and tried to peek from behind the curtain to across the street, it was pitch black out, so I couldn\u2019t really see much of anything. \u00a0At the same time Steve went out the back door of our house to see, if he walks from the back of the house to the front of the house, starting on the left side of our house, if he can flush out the source of the red light.\u00a0 As he did this I did saw a little pin point of a red light, directly across the street (at head height) move to the right, disappear, then reappear further to the right again in front of another house, and then disappear again.\u00a0 It was as though it had seen Steve coming up the side of our house and was backing slowly away, it was so creepy to know this was probably him (the stalker), right there, I was filled with anger at him. I wanted to run outside and run this guy down&#8230;but this is just what he wanted. \u00a0(He was taunting us, and knew he could run faster and not get caught. \u00a0If we had been able to see him, and tried to chase him, he would have been even more excited). \u00a0No one in our neighborhood had fences that divided the houses &#8211; there was nothing to impede anyones access to come and go between or around any of the houses. The subdivision lacked enough street lights, so it was a dark neighborhood. \u00a0When Steve came back in the house we discussed the light and looked up night vision glasses\/googles on the Internet, and sure enough, this light that we saw could have matched that, or it he could have been aiming laser sight from a gun.\u00a0 Either way we were now hopeful that we are getting closer to figuring this out, we probably needed more people, but the stalker came at different times, 11:00 pm, 2 am, 4 am whatever time he wanted. Would we all stay up all night, for as many days as it took?\u00a0 At least we are learning where our weak points are while trying to protect our daughter, but at this point it seems like we are learning those weak points a little too slowly.\u00a0 There is someone I know that does security in Aspen, and I will call him in the morning to see if he has any suggestions for us.\u00a0 We can\u2019t afford to hire him to do surveillance for us, so anything like that we will have to do ourselves, or ask assistance from family or friends, I would just like to have some great suggestions on how to handle this situation.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9205\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/morgansstalking.com\/?attachment_id=9205\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-10-at-10.58.46-PM-copy-1.jpg?fit=747%2C489&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"747,489\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screen Shot 2018-02-10 at 10.58.46 PM copy\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-10-at-10.58.46-PM-copy-1.jpg?fit=584%2C382&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9205\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-10-at-10.58.46-PM-copy-1.jpg?resize=584%2C382&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-10-at-10.58.46-PM-copy-1.jpg?w=747&amp;ssl=1 747w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-10-at-10.58.46-PM-copy-1.jpg?resize=300%2C196&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/morgansstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Screen-Shot-2018-02-10-at-10.58.46-PM-copy-1.jpg?resize=458%2C300&amp;ssl=1 458w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now in the present, August 15, 2012 &#8211; this is one of the big things we would like to see changed in the future &#8211; we would like to see safe houses across the United States for girls, for anyone that may find themselves in this situation.\u00a0 Most likely they can not afford to just disappear for a while, especially if they have animals\/pets, so if we could have something like that set up, then at least in our case, Morgan might have been able to go there with her puppy, and be safe for a while, until her stalker had been identified and arrested.\u00a0 These stalkers will harm or kill their victim\u2019s animals, just to get back at their victims, so these safe houses must accommodate the animals, as well as the victim.\u00a0 This suggestion came to me through another woman who had been a victim years ago, and had to move all her animals, some of them horses, and herself to a safe place immediately one fateful night.\u00a0 Fortunately she was able to do it, and was safe herself, unfortunately her animals were scattered all over Colorado for quite a while until she could get them back with her.\u00a0 She is trying to get involved now in setting up a safe house in this part of Colorado that can accommodate a victim and their animals.\u00a0 She is an amazing example of resilience!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click here to read about the 15th day of Morgan\u2019s stalking &amp;
