Morgan came home in the morning, and we filled her in on everything that happened the night before.\u00a0 She tells us that she is determined not to let this person terrorize her anymore.\u00a0 She is going to cover her upper windows, and sleep in her own room.\u00a0<\/strong> We are very worried about her safety, and she proceeds to cut up some thick flannel sheets and tack them to her wall, just above her upper bedroom windows, and they cover not only those windows, but the windows below that already have blinds over them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Steve decides that after all of the intensity of the last nights events we need to get away for the day.\u00a0 Morgan, Steve and I take a road trip to Silverthorne, shopping at the Factory stores there. \u00a0Once again we try not to talk about the stalking, but it is on our minds and in our conversations all day.\u00a0 I am trying to be positive, and look at recent developments as movement toward the end of this nightmare.<\/p>\n

Then our neighbor Elliott calls me about a most interesting phone call that he has received.\u00a0 First he wants to know if Morgan has disappeared, or gone missing.\u00a0 I tell him at that very moment she was right there with us, and ask him what is going on now!\u00a0 Elliott explains that Brooke’s mom (Christina Harris) had called him. \u00a0Brooke’s mom, and Brooke’s dad originally lived together in a house on Corral Drive, and I assumed they were still married, even though Brooke’s dad had moved a few houses down, and lived now in a rental house with his daughter Brooke, and her boyfriend Keenan, but I really don\u2019t know for sure if Christina and James Harris are still married. \u00a0He said Christina asked Brooke why the sheriffs had come to her door last night.\u00a0 According to what Elliott had been told, Brooke explained to her mother that since she is an old friend of Morgan\u2019s (she had never been a friend of Morgan\u2019s, Morgan just knew of her through other friends) they wanted to ask her if she knew where Morgan was, because Morgan has gone missing the night before. \u00a0What a lie Brooke was now telling her parents…she knew Morgan was not missing and she knew the sheriffs had been trying to speak with Keenan, but she refused to let them in the house.<\/p>\n

This became a disturbing pattern throughout the stalking.\u00a0 So many times after the sheriff\u2019s left our house Brooke’s mom had a story about what was going on, and it was quite different from what was really going on.\u00a0 Much later when a detective was assigned to this case, it became a felony stalking, and we had a case number, the detective interviewed Brooke’s mom, and Christina about these false rumors, and he told me that Brooke had told him she heard these “rumors” from her mother, and Brooke’s mom Christina told him that she heard it from her daughter, Brooke. \u00a0And he laughed as he told me the story and said, \u201cBoy, you think they could at least get their story straight.\u201d \u00a0I did not think this was a laughing matter!<\/p>\n

Do all investigators just leave it at that ???<\/p>\n

That night we had a few motion detector beeps and motion lights tripped, but we did not respond at all.\u00a0 It was obvious to me that the stalker was enjoying all the attention.\u00a0 The more we called the sheriffs, and the more we came running from the house with bigger, and bigger flashlights, the more the stalker escalated his behavior.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Labor Day (the 5th) Steve was cutting back bushes and trees around the house and I was dragging branches to a pile out front.\u00a0 We talked about just clear cutting everything all the way around the house, and in the yard. \u00a0Leave nothing, but grass, but we decided not to do that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Morgan was going to visit friends, and left with her puppy in the car. \u00a0She was smiling and happy, Steve and I talked about what a brave young woman she was, how she was holding her head high, and proudly taking her life back.\u00a0 We went inside the house for water before returning to cutting everything back. \u00a0As I was walking out the front door the motion alarm on the side yard (on Ken\u2019s side) was chirping, Steve was down the hall behind me at the time.\u00a0 I looked out the front door, and a young man was running really fast up our driveway between the cars.\u00a0 I think it could be Keenan, but I am not sure, I have never met him in person before.\u00a0 He sees me, and immediately turns and takes off running for Rhonda\u2019s house next door.\u00a0 But she is cleaning out her garage, so he has to turn up our other side yard, and head for the berm.\u00a0 I yell to Steve that he is coming up the side yard just as the motion detector for that side starts to beep.<\/p>\n

Steve immediately went to the window, saw nothing and ran out the back door and still saw nothing. \u00a0He wasn\u2019t sure which way to give chase, and decided on Brooke’s dad’s house, so he ran down there and didn\u2019t find anyone outside so he doubled back out front and we spent the next fifteen minutes talking on our phones, while searching the neighborhood for him.\u00a0 I finally say to Steve, crazy as this sounds we are going to ignore him, giving him attention is exactly what he wants us to do, and we are not doing it.<\/p>\n

On the way back home a neighbor came up to me, and said that something very strange had just been witnessed. \u00a0Brooke, and Keenan had raced up the street in his new car.\u00a0 Then it looked like they were arguing, then they pulled into her driveway, then more arguing, then with tires chirping, they pulled out of the driveway, then this went on a few more times before, doors slamming, they went in their house.\u00a0 I was perplexed by the story in view of what had just happened, and went to tell Steve.\u00a0 I called Morgan on the way, and told her the story, then Morgan told me what had happened earlier that made sense of it all…<\/p>\n

Morgan said she had driven by Brooke, and Keenan on the way out of the subdivision, and Keenan had slowed down as they passed.\u00a0 So she stared right at them and smiled, she wanted him to know she was not taking it anymore.\u00a0 Morgan said Keenan looked down as he drove by, and would not make eye contact with her.\u00a0 But Brooke defiantly stared back at Morgan.\u00a0 Morgan guesses that she touched off a little tiff.<\/p>\n

I called the sheriff\u2019s department and told a patrol deputy what had happened, but that he didn\u2019t need to come over.\u00a0 I told him about our new plan to ignore, but he had to return a jump drive to us anyway, so he would stop by to take the report.<\/p>\n

Steve has a new thermal imaging scope on loan from a very good friend in law enforcement.\u00a0 That evening he goes outside and spends a lot of time with it, getting accustomed to how it works.\u00a0 It is otherwise a quiet night.<\/p>\n

Today it is also Labor Day, but it is now 2012<\/strong>, Keenan’s parents write me over, and over to say Keenan has been fingerprinted, had his tennis shoes fingerprinted (not sure how you do that, but okay) and been proven innocent. \u00a0But I know from the detective that none of that is true. \u00a0They are very passionate in defending their son, and I suspect they have been doing so for a long time – probably his whole life. \u00a0 A reporter who\u2019s had his ego a little bruised is calling everyone in my family for an interview, they are a little reluctant after they saw how badly he had twisted my words in a story just the other day. \u00a0And a budding young Psychologist back east has shared with me that she is writing her thesis paper for her doctorate about what happened to Morgan and wants to interview me, and has made many calls to the Garfield Sheriffs, and was told each time, a prepared statement about how I am just a grieving mother who can\u2019t let go of her daughter\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

So please.<\/strong> Perhaps I am not telling the story with enough emphasis, but this is Morgan\u2019s blog, it is about Morgan\u2019s stalking, and I write it because she is not here to write it herself. Everything is the truth. \u00a0It is meant to empower people who are being stalked. \u00a0She was such a brave young woman, who was forced to go through incredible, horrific fear, and stress for the last four months of her life.\u00a0 This is why when her death was found to be natural causes Steve said to call her doctor at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, and see if she can meet with us, we wanted her opinion.\u00a0 She did schedule a meeting with us, and we had a long talk with the pathologist here before we went, we went with open minds, not knowing what to expect.\u00a0 Nobody was more surprised than me when she told us she had gone back through all of Morgan\u2019s records, and reviewed her Postmortem Examination Report and was convinced, with no doubt in her mind, that the Coroner here has it all wrong! \u00a0She said this is a homicide, it needs to be investigated, there needs to be more tests run.\u00a0 They are not testing for the right things. \u00a0She offers to call him for us, doctor to doctor and straighten this out. \u00a0She feels we have been through enough already. \u00a0She adds that If it\u2019s a funding problem, she will contact the Governor of Colorado, this needs to be corrected.<\/p>\n

Do you see the truth here? \u00a0She was volunteering her own time, and believe me she is a very, very, busy woman. \u00a0A true hero.\u00a0 She was volunteering her time to help correct a situation where people were killed by their stalker, then were found to have died of natural causes, their killers never brought to justice. \u00a0Well, Garfield County\u2019s best slammed the door right in her face.\u00a0 So she talked to one of the foremost authorities on heart\u00a0arrhythmia, a professor, scientist and doctor at UC San Francisco Children\u2019s hospital, he volunteered to come here and testify if need be, but yes you certainly can be \u201cscared to death\u201d and he said a few tests will indicate if that could have happened to Morgan, and they need to be done.\u00a0 Our pathologist here would not talk to him. He’s suddenly not willing to talk to any more of \u201cour doctors,\u201d we are wasting his time, and he sent Steve an email that death by arrhythmia is not possible without an underlying cause. \u00a0We are told this is just not true.\u00a0 Just in the last few months you may have read about an arsonist in California that was successfully prosecuted for the murder of 5 people who died of heart attacks due to the stress of the fire he set on their life.\u00a0 Google it if you haven\u2019t heard of this case, or even try the phrase \u201cHomicide by Fright\u201d.\u00a0 Don\u2019t just take the word of a grieving mother who can not let go, search out the truth yourself, I have.<\/p>\n

Our pathologist here told me he would only talk to another pathologist.\u00a0 So we talked to one. \u00a0He\u2019s been a little busy dealing with the Aurora Batman Theatre murders that are so absolutely heartbreaking.\u00a0 But his findings on Morgan’s case not only greatly differ from \u201cNatural Causes\u201d he also found something else.\u00a0 She had a very, very large amount of a prescription drug Amitriptyline, many times the amount needed to kill her.\u00a0 Our pathologist here has been telling us all along the amount she had was \u201cinsignificant\u201d and it\u2019s been a sticking point because she didn\u2019t even take Amitriptyline.\u00a0 She did long in the past, a small dose as a prophylaxis for headaches, NOT FOR DEPRESSION.\u00a0 Morgan worked hard to not need pills in her life \u00a0– that is the truth.<\/p>\n

Our pathologist here was on the phone with me after our trip to Los Angeles, and honestly said, Morgan was taking Amitriptyline for her Porphyria, and it builds up in your system, that is why her numbers were so high.\u00a0 I was shocked! I asked him if he was sure he was talking about Morgan.\u00a0 She didn\u2019t have Porphyria, she did not take Amitriptyline, she did not have a prescription, and we have all of her pharmacy records for the last three years.\u00a0 We have been over all of this, why is it still an issue?<\/p>\n

Why are people always trying to cover up the truth about things?\u00a0 Why can\u2019t people help each other find the truth instead?\u00a0 Don\u2019t they realize that true evil can only exist when good people do nothing about it?\u00a0 Sorry I just went on a rant, but we are talking about true evil to stalk, terrorize, and take someone\u2019s life…it\u2019s no joke, it\u2019s extremely serious.\u00a0 If this stalker had only stalked, and terrorized our daughter, and our family for four months, and she had just died in her bed from her heart giving out because of fright (which didn\u2019t happen, but could have, and certainly could have been a component in her death), or like in other cases I have heard about in the news, if she had taken her life, because she couldn\u2019t take it anymore (which didn\u2019t happen, but I\u2019m sure certain people would like to believe that) then the law still reads, and has been held up in court that the person responsible for terrorizing that person to death is responsible for murder.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think most people understand that point of law, I didn’t. \u00a0 And all those who now try to cover up and protect this person are also responsible under the law.\u00a0 But don\u2019t take the word of a grieving mother who can’t let go, read this article and then decide for yourself.\u00a0 Our pathologist here maintains it is not possible.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

The prevailing lay wisdom associates emotional stress with sudden death, and recent medical reports have linked massive catecholamine surges with demonstrable cardiac dysfunction that can be either reversible or fatal. This association does not strictly prove causality, and the question remains open for additional scientific investigation. From the legal viewpoint, however, the issue has been resolved, and case law clearly holds that sudden emotional stress can cause death. More significantly, case law also holds that if the sudden emotional stress is caused by criminal conduct, the resulting death of a victim of the criminal conduct can be prosecuted as homicide. Cardiologists are often called to testify in such circumstances. In the present study, we have reviewed 8 legal cases that are the basis of current opinions in these matters. These legal principles can be summarized as follows: emotional stress is sufficient, and physical abuse is not required for conviction; a time-lapse between the induction of emotional stress and death does not necessarily mitigate the charge of homicide; the criminal act must be the proximate cause of the victim’s death; however, the accused does not always need to be physically present to commit the crime. In conclusion, although the pathophysiology of sudden death associated with massive emotional stress has not been fully elucidated from a scientific viewpoint, in the legal system, the association can be causative and can be the basis for a criminal prosecution. Cardiologists may be called on to provide expert opinions in the prosecution of these cases.<\/p>\n
