Morgan gets her dad\u2019s old iPhone to replace her broken phone. She is very happy, and I am very glad that she will be safer with a cell phone that works.\u00a0 She takes her new puppy to the vet at 10:30 am<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Later that day, after work, Steve and I have leave Morgan home alone for a couple of hours (I was very nervous about it, but we had borrowed our son\u2019s lab\/Shepard mix dog Joey; he used to be an amazing watch dog, and now there were 3 dogs at our house, so I felt like Morgan could relax at home, while we were gone for just a couple of hours before dinner.\u00a0 But I guess I was wrong, she was nervous. \u00a0 I sent Morgan a text, \u201cHow\u2019s it going?\u201d\u00a0 We are just leaving Eagle.\u201d\u00a0 Morgan sends a text, \u201cGood.\u00a0 Super hyper.\u00a0 Might leave.\u201d\u00a0 I sent her a text back, \u201cNoooo, I still want to go to Aspen with you.\u201d\u00a0 Morgan writes back, \u201cDude…You\u2019re not going to be home until too late, you left me hyper at home and you\u2019ll need to feed dad too.\u201d\u00a0 I texted her, \u201cHe ate, if you take his truck and be home by 6:00 pm<\/strong> we will eat salmon and go to Aspen.\u201d\u00a0 Then Morgan wrote back, \u201cI\u2019m staying.\u00a0 But grumpy.\u201d\u00a0 I wrote, \u201cNoooo not Grumpy!\u00a0 Dad would like you to look up Apple TV to see the difference between the one for $99 and the one for $119 thanks.\u201d\u00a0 Morgan writes back, \u201cDude, you guys suck.\u201d\u00a0 Then I responded, \u201cJust because he asked you to look up the TV?\u00a0 Dad says he\u2019s mortally injured. :(\u201c\u00a0 We are always joking back and forth – I love our relationship, it\u2019s fun.<\/p>\n

After we have completed our list of people, in and around our neighborhood, we have 55 “suspects” (can you believe it?), and while we knew it would be easy to eliminate some very quickly, the full list seems daunting. We realize it will take a lot of time to whittle it down to the goal of no more than three or four. So, we draft the first plan of who to watch and how. We grapple with what is suspicious and what is not, and how long it will really take to get through 54 suspects. \u00a0It\u2019s amazing what happens when you look at people while thinking maybe they could be the stalker – innocent little things suddenly become strange actions, strange behaviors.\u00a0 I start to do research about the profile of stalkers.<\/p>\n

Morgan doesn\u2019t want to be involved in going over the list of people – it\u2019s too upsetting for her…she just wants this to all go away. \u00a0I don’t blame her, but realize this is naive thinking.<\/p>\n

There are two houses that we know are empty and abandoned by their owners, because of foreclosure.\u00a0 We are concerned about them, so we thoroughly checked those houses out to make sure some homeless person isn\u2019t crashing out in one of them.\u00a0 Those houses could be used at night to lay low and watch undetected.<\/p>\n

One of the patrol officers told us he did a little experiment, and parked in the raft launching parking lot by the river on County Road 100, and then walked to our house – he told us it\u2019s an easy walk, so someone could be parking there and walking to our house very easily and concealed. \u00a0After dinner Morgan leaves to go see a friend, and Steve sets up a new plan with Morgan for her to text at least a half hour before she is supposed to drive home, Steve sneaks out of the subdivision on foot and hides in a tall pine tree across the County Road to observe the surrounding area when Morgan drives home.\u00a0 He wants to see if any car drives up and parks and someone goes into our subdivision, while Morgan is on her way home – in case the stalker somehow is not in our neighborhood, but is just getting tipped off that she is on her way home, and they get there before her in order to get in position.\u00a0 Steve found out the hard way that the sprinklers come on late at night (same time he was crouched in the tree), causing Steve to come home very wet. \u00a0\ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
