Here is a picture of our two beautiful babies, sitting on the lawn in front of our house. \u00a0This picture was taken a few years before the stalking started. \u00a0Back then our neighborhood was bright and peaceful – it felt safe. \u00a0We all spent as much time as we could outside. \u00a0Morgan used to walk down to the river, and ride her bike all the way into town to visit friends. Sometime she hung out by herself, under the trees, doing her oil paintings and playing with Tessi, our dog. \u00a0I was a quiet gentler time. \u00a0We all slept well, in the quiet neighborhood that we lived in. \u00a0We never had to look over our shoulder back then, and the sun always streamed in through the windows of our house…we didn’t need heavy window coverings to block out the predatory eyes of a stalker.<\/p>\n

Then in August of 2011 all that changed…and for four months we lived in fear, first wondering who could be doing this, and then wondering how we could keep Morgan safe, until we could move, or arrests could be made. \u00a0Then Friday morning, December 2, 2011, we found Morgan, our 20-year-old daughter, dead in her bed. \u00a0We were too late, and our lives were forever changed from that moment on.<\/p>\n
