The professionalism on which victims depend – what happens when it fails?

In a statement that was about as condescending as could be the contracted pathologist
intimated that in order for Morgan to be killed
with Amitriptyline she would have had to be subdued by
her assailant. And there were no signs of her being subdued
so – it did not happen. Excuse me, but of all the boatloads
of crap floating around in the explanations of Morgan’s stalking,
and murder that never was – this has to take a prize. A few days
ago I wrote about the Jessica Ridgeway murder, and dismemberment,
and her accused/admitted assailant who now awaits his trial.
He also admitted to an attack on a female jogger. The
jogger reported that the attack began with an attempt to put a rag
that smelled of chemicals over her mouth. A rag that smelled
of chemicals, remember that because it’s an important clue. It is
now rumored / released information that the alleged assailant
admits to going on the internet and finding out how to make
chloroform and then attempting to use it to subdue the female
jogger before he did whatever vile acts he contemplated next. I
also seem to remember a quite notorious case in Florida recently in
which the accused killer, found not guilty, frequented a house
where a computer had been used to research chloroform, including –
allegedly – instructions on how to make it. I have never done
the same, but it does not seem to be all that hard and sort of
commonplace these days. If a seventeen year old youth in
Colorado was able to do it, then could Morgan’s nineteen year old
suspect have been able to? Or Brooke Harris, his girlfriend /
not girlfriend, could she have done it? I mean go on a
computer and research how to make Chloroform. So to complete this
loop I have a question, and an anger, and an observation, all at
the same time. How can the forensic pathologist
condescendingly imply that Morgan was not subdued when:

  1. She had a bruise on her forehead.
  2. Blood on the edge of her lips
  3. She was not given any test that would have indicated the presence of
    CHLOROFORM, which does seem to be popular these days.

If you were a professional, concerned with the truth,
concerned with apprehending criminals, wouldn’t this be ruled out
before you carried through on threats to the victim’s mother, a
victim herself, and changed Morgan’s manner of death from natural
to suicide?  Especially because she was a felony stalking
victim?  Is it just me or is there a very obvious
possibility being overlooked by those hired to look?  I really
just want people to do their jobs, assemble the facts and arrive at
the truth, not just for Morgan but for every other victim. When you
did not even test for chloroform at a time that it’s being sloshed
on rags and being used to subdue victims and attempt to subdue
victims across the country then, sorry, you did not do your
job. And to sit back and tell me that Morgan could not have
been subdued is a farce.  I believe my daughter deserved
better than. I believe in Colorado, the Victims Rights Act
demands more than that.  When the female jogger was attacked and an
attempt to put a rag that smelled of chemicals over her mouth was
made, I have to ask, do you think she was tested for the
presence of CHLOROFORM?  How many other reasons could there be
for an attacker to try to cover your mouth with a rag that smells
of chemicals?  My wild guess would be that none of them are
good and if Chloroform is not the only chemical, then that is just
my lack of expertise showing and if there are others then test for
those too. Because when a victim is successfully subdued by their
attacker the result is most likely going to be very bad.
Victims are taught at a young age to kick and scream, do
anything you can to get away. But what about caught in your
sleep, with a rag sloshed in chloroform placed over you mouth,
before you have a chance to react, perhaps a thumb placed on your
forehead to keep you still for that few seconds until you go under,
one bruise, that’s all.
