\"\"\u00a0HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE LITTLE FROG PRINCE KEYCHAIN I BOUGHT FROM RED ENVELOPE IN 2009. \u00a0IT WAS A VALENTINE’S PRESENT FOR MORGAN – IT IS STILL MISSING, AND HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today on Valentine’s Day, as I closed my eyes to remember Morgan, another memory “appeared” in my mind. \u00a0This happens to me quite often. \u00a0They are always important pieces to the puzzle that have to do with Morgan’s case. On the morning of December 2, 2011, when so many things were happening, it was just too much to process. \u00a0We had just found our youngest daughter, dead in her bed. \u00a0We were in shock. \u00a0We were in pain. \u00a0And yet we did hear what was being said, and we did retain it.<\/p>\n

I have mentioned to other parents, of recently murdered children, that for me it was like hundreds of little puzzle pieces constantly swirling above my head, and all you want is for them to fall into place, in order to show a “complete” picture of what happened to my child. \u00a0Then I see these parents open their eyes wide, as if surprised and happy that someone expressed what they themselves have been feeling. \u00a0What I usually hear them say, is “Yes, that is exactly it!”<\/p>\n

So when the memory of this little keychain “appeared” in my mind I immediately knew why. \u00a0The morning of Morgan’s murder, when her felony stalking detective, Garfield County Sheriff Rob Glassmire, asked me if Morgan was missing a keychain, i looked at the rack where we all hung our keys, and said no. The keychain Morgan used to drive the car (my keychain), the one with the front door key on it to the new lock we had put on our front door, was hanging on the rack. \u00a0But what I hadn’t remembered that morning was that Morgan did have her own keychain, the one with this little frog prince on it. \u00a0I didn’t remember because Morgan had not used it since a couple of weeks after the stalking had started.<\/p>\n

Why hadn’t she used her keychain? \u00a0Because her car had almost 300,000 miles on it at the time, and was having some mechanical problems. \u00a0So when we realized she had a stalker(s) I told her I would prefer she just drive my car, as a safety precaution. \u00a0Then when our front door lock started to break, and Steve replaced it, my keychain only had the new front door key on it – the old key was no longer on my keychain.<\/p>\n

And why does it matter if her keychain was never found after her murder? \u00a0Because it not only had her car key on it, but it also had the old front door key on it. \u00a0And that matters because that key also opened the door into the house from the garage, and possibly unlocked the french door from the back patio into the master bedroom – but I never thought of that at the time. \u00a0Then after we had gone through all of Morgan’s things and packed them up to move, I realized her keychain was no where to be found. \u00a0We looked everywhere, but never found it. \u00a0We reported this to the detective, but like so many other details in her case he had no interest in the missing keychain. \u00a0Someone knows where this keychain is and could lead us to even more answers.<\/p>\n
