To the Post Independent in response to an article written on Sept. 1, 2012 by Jon Colson:<\/strong><\/p>\n

As previously reported in both the Aspen Times and the Post Independent Newspapers, Garfield County and Pitkin County in western Colorado both have an extremely high rate of \u201csuicide\u201d, with Pitkin county at over three times the national average and Garfield County even higher. Yet both these superfluously ideal, recreational Colorado counties show an almost nonexistent rate of murder. In fact, in the State of Colorado more people die of \u201csuicide\u201d than they do by motor vehicle accidents or any other method.<\/p>\n

Many theories abound on why this rate is extremely high but one logical theory is completely overlooked…that possible murders<\/strong>…are being called suicides by County Coroner\u2019s and Law Enforcement agencies without either the investigative skills or the desire to fully investigate any death.<\/p>\n

It often seems, and is the butt of many local jokes, the only time a death will be termed a homicide in this valley is if there are fifty witnesses to a point blank shooting or stabbing and a suspect stands holding his bloody hands out, begging to be arrested.<\/p>\n

Any other scenario the majority of investigative effort seems to be put into finding excuses as to why a death is NOT a homicide rather than actually being investigated. If in doubt, local Newspapers are then used as tools of both the Coroner\u2019s office and law enforcement to print misinformation in such a way as to sway the public and therefore the families of victims into a position of acceptance out of fear of\u00a0 public ridicule. Families who insist on investigations or make any waves are publicly branded, by those who are paid to protect them, as being so overwhelmed by grief they are being ridiculous or \u2018dramatic\u201d, or even as downright enemies of the involved departments. And so, possible murderers…walk calmly on their way…safe in their own perfect killing grounds.<\/p>\n

The case of Morgan Ingram is a prime example. Many factors have been overlooked in the investigation of Morgan Ingram\u2019s death, including a lack on both the Coroner\u2019s office and those who investigated the scene of death. Nothing<\/strong> in her life indicates any desire to commit suicide yet events leading up to her death present a classic preclude to murder.<\/p>\n

Had Morgan Ingram simply been a confused, depressed teenager who\u2019s life had fallen apart at the seams, then to investigate her death as a possible suicide or accidental death would be logical. But Morgan was not the atypical suicide poster child.<\/p>\n

Morgan was a young woman who had her life by the proverbial balls with one minor flaw. In recent months she had been continuously terrorized and victimized by a stalker. Even IF her death in any possible theory could have been termed a suicide, it would still<\/em> put responsibility on the criminal for driving her to this point.<\/p>\n

But Morgan was NOT driven to this point of no return. In fact, she was ANGRY. Angry people do not end their own lives, angry people go after those who are stealing their\u00a0 personal joy in life. In fact, the very night of her death Morgan had told a friend on Facebook \u201cI love life!\u201d in response to something silly from her day. Morgan steadfastly refused to let her terrorizer drive her from her home, school, activities or friends. Instead, she became annoyed with those who begged her to allow herself to be bullied into leaving her home to go into hiding.<\/p>\n

Her stalking was not the figment of a young woman\u2019s imagination. Her terrorizing was not only observed by others, but also recorded on security cameras placed around her home. The case was elevated to the level of felony stalking by the Investigators due to escalating events, not by Morgan or her family. In other words, evidence was there to prove a perpetrator existed.<\/p>\n

There is a certain responsibility to reporting the news. One of those responsibilities is to not allow yourself to be used as a tool of deceit or coercion by elected officials for their own agendas.<\/p>\n

There is a responsibility to know if you are reporting facts instead of what someone else wants you to report as in the death of Morgan. The reporter states \u201cthere were no signs of assault\u201d. Does this reporter know this for sure? Was he there? Or did he simply take the word of those who never even LOOKED for any signs of assault? Assault is not always apparent by the naked eye and physical assault is not always a necessity or intent of murder.<\/p>\n

Murderers are not all clumsy, in your face, messy murderers of passion. As many serial killer cases have shown and documented, there are killers who are intelligent, crafty, and very capable of covering their crime. These are the killers who move silently through our society, often enjoying long, full lives before ever being apprehended…if ever. Each success gives them more satisfaction in the knowledge they have once again outsmarted law enforcement. Unlike the portrayal in books and television, these killers do not all want attention or fame…some want only to engage in their own secret fantasies and get away with it for as long as possible.<\/p>\n

The Post Independent reporter also stated the accepted uses of amitriptyline. What he did not state were the less desirable, nefarious uses of this drug…as a tool of not only date rape but also murder. Several high profile and many lesser reported cases throughout the world have documented the use of amitriptyline as a weapon against other humans. The reporter also failed to mention the reason for this particular drug\u2019s use by rapists and murderers. Amitriptyline not only has the ability to produce fast results in subduing a victim (when administered in medically unaccepted methods), but also is easily available, not only on the street but via online shopping. In reality, the wide spread use of antidepressants by over zealous Doctors has guaranteed each one of us most likely know someone who has amitriptyline (or more commonly known as Elavil) in their medicine cabinet.<\/p>\n

The Coroner\u2019s office and the Sheriff\u2019s office are negligent in their duties as employees of the people when they choose to label a death by drugs as a \u201csuicide\u201d when there is no evidence to support drugs were taken willingly by the victim or with a particular intent. \u201cMorgan Ingram died from \u201camitriptyline intoxication\u201d according to Kurtzman’s report.\u201d This is not definitive of \u201csuicide\u201d and the only conclusion for the Coroner\u2019s office giving this new diagnosis of death to the public, months after Morgan\u2019s death, is the Coroner, in an attempt to stop any further investigation by the family & friends…decided to publicly discredit any information that was in direct disapproval or contradiction of his departments procedures and actions.<\/p>\n

The Post Independent reporter was extremely negligent in his duty as a reporter of \u201cnews\u201d by neglecting to mention the Coroner\u2019s office only decided to reclassify the victims death in retaliation for her family and friends pushing for justice. The reporter was also negligent in his duty as a person attempting to write about an investigative matter by not fact finding, nor asking to see all pertinent documents pertaining to the circumstances prior to and after Morgan\u2019s death…and instead, taking a hand fed story and running with it, regardless of damage said story could cause.<\/p>\n

Morgan\u2019s family has made great strides towards engaging the community and raising awareness of stalking and it\u2019s consequences. With one reckless, ill written article the writer has attempted to destroy the Ingram families efforts.<\/p>\n

None of us know how or even when the deadly dose of Amitriptyline was introduced to Morgan\u2019s body. Not the Coroner, not the reporter, nor the public. Only the one responsible knows how this drug was utilized and for what purpose. The evidence is not there to support the victim willingly took the large amount needed to end her life (which was apparent by not only one but also two Coroner reports), and the evidence has never been sought to prove another human was responsible.<\/p>\n

With this lack of evidence, Morgan\u2019s case should remain open as should the minds of those in the public, including those we depend on to report accurate facts and news, and those we pay to protect and serve us.<\/p>\n

All reports by the pathologist and Coroner\u2019s office state Morgan\u2019s death can once again be reclassified if new evidence presents itself…which means…just as in a Court of Law, reasonable doubt still remains. It is irresponsible by all parties concerned to then definitively state an intelligent, happy, talented young woman willingly gave away a life she herself said she loved.<\/p>\n
