Yesterday we had a wonderful Thanksgiving day with Morgan. The leftovers are always the best part for me, and the Maroon Creek Club knows this, we left with more than we ate there! We almost had leftovers for breakfast.
Steve left early for work, he has deadlines and he is not one to shy away from that. Nothing makes him happier than keeping up with what he has to do. Morgan and I have a breakfast together, and talk about Steve. She is worried that he is so worried about her. I tell her that is funny, because he is worried that she is so worried about him. We laugh and talk about the place he wants us to move to. About how he would have never told her, but it was about how great the defensive stance from there is.
Even though I have promised Steve to not say this, I talk about how we are both so worried about her and for the immediate future it is a good move. Morgan does not want us to worry. She echoes something Steve had said often, about how all of the security measures we have put in place have created an invisible 10 foot barrier around the house…I’m not completely convinced.
I remind Morgan that he also says that the 10 foot barrier is all we have, and we really need much more than that. She pauses and is quite reflective, agreeing that maybe we should move. I never really thought she would agree with that, but suddenly she had. It is nothing less than a breath of fresh air to me, I tell her I will tell her Daddy and he will be so happy to move. That her safety is all he cares about.
Morgan gushes with surprise as she always does at moments like this. Her Daddy is so important to her, just like he is to her big sister, she says it will be a big job, and are we sure we want to do it right before Christmas? I assure her that the next couple of weeks we really have nothing to do, when in fact both of us are quite maxed out.
That afternoon we have “leftovers” again for lunch. I ask Morgan if she wants to invite anyone over to share, but she say no, she wants to just be with me, and Daddy, if he has time. I call Steve, but he is at his shop and has deadlines that need to get finished and he is afraid he will even be working late to get it all done. His brother has lent him a worker, and he is doing his best, wishes he could be with us, but says to go ahead without him.
Her sister sends her a heart on a text. Morgan talks to her friends on her cell phone who remind her that a good friend is going to be playing at the Carbondale guitar shop tonight and they want her to be there. She says maybe to them and wants to know from me when Steve will be home. I call Steve and he tells me he will leave now, that family has to come before what he is doing. He will just get up earlier for work and all will be fine.
I tell Morgan he is leaving right now to come home and she is happy. She wants to spend some time with us and then go see her friend play, to support her. I agree with her and we busy ourselves in the kitchen, working away and sort of making up for Thanksgiving in a restaurant by having the leftovers at home together. She was growing into such a sweet young woman, worried about helping those all around her, and I was so proud of her at that moment.
Morgan sends her friend Calder a message at 7:44 pm, “Hey what are you up to?” Calder writes back, “If you’re with Nate tell him we should chill tomorrow.” Morgan responds, “I’m at home having dinner. I’ll let him know. What are your plans tonight?” Calder says, “Looking for something to do.” Morgan says, “Well are you still free? JJ is playing at Steve’s Guitars.”
Morgan leaves after Steve and I have a dinner with her. The night is stalker free, as far as we know, and Morgan comes home early from her friend’s performance at the guitar store. She is calm, and I am happy deep down inside that the move in the works is the right thing to do.
Steve and I go to sleep, confident that we have made the right choice, and we will soon put all this nonsense of stalkers, and noises in the night behind us. We were always having wishful thinking that this stalker will find another obsession and go away.
But you all know how wrong we were…
Tonights blog post made my heart weap for Steve for I know Morgan was daddy’s little girl.
I was very disappointed in the way that the Dr Phil Show handled the situation. I believe ? was hiding alot about the case it was written all over her face. She was playing the falsely accused card and appearing to be uninvolved, but it was not very convincing. There has to be physical proof. If it had been a suicide, where is the evidence of an injectable on the premise? I hope justice is served. The parents have been through enough hell
I agree with this person about “?” and her father’s ‘falsely accused’ position which they presented on the Dr. Phil Show. To me, they both showed a creepy lack of emotion for just being accused of murder on national television!! Toni, go with your mother’s intuition here. Do not give up. I got the impression too, that these people are involved in a cover up at best. They are sick individuals and most likely will repeat their horrific crimes, if they are not stopped.
Another thought I had while watching this and from reading your amazing and wonderful blog, is there seems to be something so completely diabolical in how the murderer came and went without getting caught, for months on end, always so dreadfully close by. I can’t help wonder if your daughter may have been involved in the occult and dark arts at some point, which may have exposed her to something which led to all of this. My hunch is there is something more sinister involved.
My heart and prayers go to you and Steve for justice to be done, that they catch these evil people and lock them up soon and for life.
I agree. I was disappointed with the Dr. Phil Show. It was obvious that ? was hiding alot. You could tell she was nervous and not stating the truth. Why would she worry about evidence if she wasn’t guilty? All my prayers to you and Steve. I hope justice is served.
I was hoping, HOPING that Dr. Phil pulled out Jack to do a polygraph on the girl and her father. Why didn’t he? This would’ve been solved temporarily at least. She is hiding something. She had some sort of guilt on her face. Damn teenagers
Morgan was a daddy’s girl, and this is so hard on him. I pray every day that an investigation is opened so he doesn’t have to keep going over everything every day, and doing all the research, and sending out all the letters.
If they open it up then at least he can start the healing process – both of us can, but right now we are still the main advocates for Morgan to get her case opened up, and it is hard on both of us, but I think it is really taking it’s toll on Steve. Steve knows who Morgan was, and he adored her – to hear people that are backed into a corner try to attack Morgan is a little too much for him. I on the other hand also know what Morgan was truly like, she was not perfect, because she was human, but she was as amazingly perfect as anything I have ever seen in my life, and their lies will not hold up to the truth, so I am able to handle it a little better.
She definitely was and he has a hard time with not being able to see her or talk to her or laugh with her, but he does know he will see her again someday. Take care!
I sure hope that when you wished that the “stalker will find another obsession,” you didn’t mean that he would leave Morgan alone at someone else’s expense . Because that may in fact be what he is doing now, finding another obsession. Seeing what you’ve been through, I would never wish that upon anyone.
Stay strong, especially with the holidays approaching. I will keep you in my thoughts.
P.S. for those who don’t have a TV, do you know of any way we can watch the Dr. Phil/episode?
By thinking that we were hoping the stalker would just go away or find another obsession wasn’t us thinking he would go find someone else – it was the typical thinking of people in this exact situation that are hoping (although it never happens) that the stalker will just go away and leave them alone, or go on to a different kind of thing to obsess over, since they obviously have an obsessive personality. We feel like this stalker did the same thing the summer before Morgan and 2 weeks before Morgan in the subdivision across from us, but when it got cold and the snow came the stalker stopped on the first time (the Sheriff’s said he could have been a seasonal stalker), and the two weeks before Morgan seemed to stop because it became Morgan, so no, we would have never wanted the stalking to go from Morgan to another human, just stop and give people enough time to catch this person at their own game. In this text above I was discussing the thoughts that go through the minds of the victims.
So little time for your story on Dr Phil. So much not said. I feel like he was more about proving there was no Evidence against her. Just left me shaking my head pretty much.
Misty I agree with you. I am so frustrated after watching the show. Dr Phil is usually so hard core in your face and didn’t do that this time. No hard hitting questions of ? and dad. Usually he listens to what people say and asks the other party to respond but not today. It’s all weird, just weird.
Agree totally. Dr. Phil is my favorite but the show left so many things untouched.I was really hoping for some straight forward questions from Dr. Phil to sort this out. At least now after the show airs you know youve brought Morgan’s story into the lives of so many more people and maybe with that, you’ll be able to get the awareness needed to reopen this case and get some answers.
i feel the same
I agree! Not only Dr Phil but the investigators need to get they’re sh*t together! When Dr Phil asked ? what do you have to say, what was her response. “Where’s the proof?” Are you kidding me. I don’t believe one word outta that girls mouth. Mother always knows best. Especially a mother with good points like yours. And why didn’t ?’s boyfriend want to appear on Dr Phil, guilty!? I think so.
This is such a shame that the system just turn their heads. You’d think the Facebook messages/comments would be enough?! I’d put money on that girl not being able to pass one question in a lie detector test! Smh at the justice system..
RIP Morgan!
My condolences go out to you and your husband.
I look forward to seeing the guilty arrested. (Hopefully in the near future.) And paying for what they’ve done.. Good luck with everything
I felt the same way. I think that your story could have easily been two hours long. You didn’t even get to say anything about her nails being broken, or it was edited out. I don’t like the way that the show handled it, or edited the show. What is why this mystery blog mom that he talked to? Who is she? I don’t think that her opinion was even worth the time that they aired it. Wasted space if you ask me.
I agree about the mystery blogger – they told me they looked into her and she was not in any way related or friends with the “others” but then how does she come to her conclusions? She has no facts – and she looked a little spaced out to me.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family and i pray you find justice for this and peace in your hearts
i agree… i saw the dr phil show and then found this blog because i do feel like ? had it written all over her face that she knew more than she was saying and dr phil did not question ? and dad as much as he should have… my heart goes out to the family and hope you case gets reopened… i will be praying
I thank you for your prayers – they mean a lot to us.
I’m thinking that Dr. Phil touched on every subject that he could legally with the accused parties. I assume, since they have lawyered-up due to feeling their emotional well-being was compromised on this blog, that their legal representatives encouraged Dr. Phil not to infringe on their rights. I believe the emotional distress they are feeling is their consciences getting to them. From what I could see from the body language as well as choice of words from The Ingrams’ neighbors’ daughter, the truth is not being spoken. I found it completely ironic that the next day’s Dr. Phil episode is on How To Spot A Liar Or A Cheat. A couple of his guests during Toni’s interview could have been on it, too- as great examples of how to lie poorly! As Toni stated, this blog has been written to ask questions that were not asked at the time they should have been asked, & it is written from the perspective of her own personal opinion. She is entitled to at least that. It is ultra-frustrating that they are playing the show-me-the-evidence-card! They know full well why they are not in jail at the moment & it isn’t because they don’t have any reason to be. Getting a restraining order against Morgan’s parents & trying to demonize Morgan is a lame attempt to keep the truth from coming out. I also assume Dr. Phil would have suggested a lie detector test or asked more direct questions if he had not been legally required not to. God Bless you, Toni & Steve. Our family sends you love & light as always! I hope that an investigation is opened for your case & that evidence comes to light that should have long ago.
Lisa Marie – again, thank you for such a great summary as well as our families love and light – I feel like all this support is giving us so much!
if you have the internet you should be able to find it online i dont know if they will do live but youshould be able to find it a day afterwards. try drphil.com his website. hope this helps if not go to the website of the channel that it airs on in your area.
I pray for you and your family every single day Toni!
You are one of the strongest moms ever!
Since hearing of Morgan again I have to say how my life has changed for the better. I am a 31 year old mother who has given myself to my son for the last 8 years which has been amazing…but from what I have heard from you about Morgan I am reminded of the person that I used to be. Full of life with big dreams! I feel Morgan’s spirit all of the time…telling a story of a woman who lived life to the fullest!
I look forward to watching Dr. Phil today! I hope that it gets the word out more! Already watching the sneak peek I feel so emotionally tied to you because of this blog that I know it will be hard to watch.
I read this today….”You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.”
Take care of yourself!
Melissa
Melissa you are so sweet – thank you! Your quote is amazing.
that quote is SO true… love & light!
Thank you for going on Dr. Phil and getting more publicity on Morgan’s case. I am so sorry that you lost your daughter but I think you are doing the right thing by following your heart. I believe that a mother’s intuition is a very powerful thing. Also you do have some evidence that she was being stalked. Please do not give up. Continue to fight for Morgan’s memory. God bless you.
Thanks Amanda I appreciate your support
I watched your story on dr phil today and thought that maybe it was suicide due to the stress from the stalking. I then came to your blog and read every entry. There is no doubt it was murder! Morgan had a love for life, it was obvious in your words and pictures. She wouldn’t have left her puppy or her family. I hope everything comes out sooner than later and that the person(s) responsible pay. I have been deeply moved by Morgan’s story and commend you for not giving up. I am so sorry for your loss. It has to be the greatest loss anyone could ever knoe…to lose a child.
Marie thank you for your observations and sharing of your feelings…I greatly appreciate it.
I just heard About this on the Dr. Phil show. I am a daughter as well and will pray for your family. What is done in secret will be found out. Maybe not today or in the next week but the truth always comes out. I’m so sorry for your loss. God be with you all in your fight until the truth is revealed.
I am watching Dr Phil as we speak and my heart and prayers go out to you and your family! I truely belive this was NOT a suicide! I believe that ? had something to do with your daughters death I just hope that you can find some peace and answers and guidence and confort GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS!
I’m watching Dr.Phil and I think they really need to investigate more. It was murder and I think they had something to do with it. GOD be with you and family I am a mother of a 19 year old daughter and would be devestated.
Um, the edit job the show did is horrible and they wanted to paint the Ingram’s as something they are not.
I agree TG, But Why?For better TV or a lesson in bad editing ; and where was the Lie detector test to settle the claim? Sheena Morris had one for her Murderer on Dr.Phil’s Show ,and he Failed,too.Dr.Phil’s producers own everyone a part 2 with a lie detector test.Dr. Phil Claims he wants justice ,Well show us then.
That would be wonderful is Dr. Phil did that, but I assume he was unable to, because most likely their lawyer, that they brought with them, would have told them no.
It broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes to see your pain. ? didn’t come across good at all. That girl needs to come clean and have a lie detector test. I’m concerned about her raising a child with her history of violence and from what I know of her parents, them neither. She sure couldn’t explain Facebook could she? I’m puzzled about that concerned mother ‘Andrea’. She sounds like that obsessive woman that has been all over the web starting threads in forums and on topix to discredit you. She uses the nick of ‘mom’ or variations. Now she weasels her way on to Dr Phil to give her opinion when she knows none of you? Sheesh. Phil should have offered her some free therapy. I just want to offer you both my support and wish this would be investigated properly by the proper authorities. Alsoplustoo, consider that Morgan may not have been drugged at your house. It could have and more likely happened before she got home. Go back to the possible drugging 2 weeks before her passing and the house she was at, who was there. Where did she stop on her way home? Ask everyone. It’s important. Most important of all is that you get the answers you need. Bless you both.
That is what I didn’t understand…WHY didn’t Dr Phil do a lie detector test on the girl? Just doesn’t make sense, he is usually out for the truth. Lots left unsaid. Sad. Thinking of you and your family.
GREAT POINT !!!! WHERE’S THE LIE DETECTOR ON ??? Dr. Phil did on on the guy that murdered Sheena Morris? I smell a rat
Agreed. I was very surprised that he didn’t ask ? to take a lie detector test. Even more so, if I was ? and was innocent I would have asked for one! Only guilty people hide behind lawyers. I also thought it very telling that she couldn’t maintain eye contact.
On a lighter note, Toni you are very pretty and Morgan looks just like you! Steve how in the world could you both compose yourself.
Body language on ? when Dr. Phil asked her if she stalked Morgan in any way, right after she said no, ? held her head down…indication of shame and guilt!
I agree. I thought at that moment, she is lying!!! I pray that the truth is found out. These parents need closure!
I saw the exact same thing, and I believe her fathers body language screamed he knew more!!
I agree. she looked and acted GUILTY from the 1st word she spoke! She needs a lie detector for sure.I hope the truth comes out soon
I really hope that justice is served in this case. There is too much unfinished business here! There is more to this than suicide. I do believe that ? knows more than what she lets on. ? although she was targeted as a murderer shows no remorse for Morgan’s death. Any friend of mine (even for 6 months) who was murdered or died mysteriously, I would show a few tears especially when confronted on television. I don’t believe the father of ? was involved. I believe ? has told him after the fact, and he is covering for her now. Mothers can always feel when there is a missing piece to a puzzle. The missing piece here is Brook….she may not be fully responsible but she knows more than what has been discussed. ? could be upset because the exboyfriend of Morgan still cared for Morgan, and not her. Jealousy is very dangerous, and deadly. I really hope more information is found out and Morgan can rest in peace, the parents of Morgan can deal with their terrible loss.
Questions:
Are the police who investigated this case related to the exboyfriend, or ?.
Is ? and the exboyfriend of Morgan currently in a realtionship.
Praying for your family Toni~ the dr.phil show today wasn’t nearly enough time to tell the whole story. I was just mad when it was done. ? was being shady, not making eye contact when asked questions by dr.phil. Looking down at her lap when replying. Typical reactions when a person is being deceptive. I’m just not impressed with the lack of information they touched upon in today’s show. One hour just isn’t enough to tell the story. With all the meticulous records and detailed notes you took. I pray that Morgan gets the justice she deserves. You are doing the right thing Toni. Don’t give up. <3
I pray you find peace and so does your family. I don’t think theres enough proof but anyone with half a brain could see she is hiding something. The first time dr. phil asked her if she had anything to do with it she never said a heartfelt NO? she breezily asked why would I want to? It was totally shady and I hope you find your answers. Your in my prayers.
I have been reading your blog the past couple days because a friend of mine on facebook said to. First I want to say I’m so sorry for your loss. I am a young mother of two girls and would never want to see my child go threw this. Morgan was a beautiful young woman. I saw the episode of Dr. Phil today and it made very angry. I fell he never gave you a chance to express anything and if I hadn’t known the back story if looked like Morgan did committ suicide. Also, as far as I can remember you never gave anyone’s name except Keenan. I do truely hope this blog helps find justice for Morgan and your family.
I think that girl murdered Morgan, you can tell by the way she was acting on dr Phil that she’s hiding something, from the look in her eyes to her postur.
Watching this episode of Dr phill angered me… I think you will find justice for your daughter…. I’m so upset he didn’t get in that girls face like he normally does… I pray for you and your family. She was beautiful and didn’t deserve this.
I felt the same way! What I would like to say to you and Steve, is that if you are delusional than so am I. Although you are saying she was murdered you never accused anyone other than her stalker and accomplices. While we all inferred you never directly pointed any fingers. I think in regards to the posts after the show on his website they were uninformed. I believe the reason your blog flip flops is you get some info and you go with it like any good investigator would. Every lead is a possibility and all intel is truth till you prove otherwise. I am very disappointed in Dr. Phil and how he orchestrated the show and hope he will have you on again to tell your story in full not like it was edited today. I am one of Morgan’s warriors and I will stand beside you till we get the truth for all of you!! One more thing even if it was suicide ( Which I do not agree with) then her stalkers are directly responsible and should be held accountable. He would have read her the riot act. Not one word of disapproval came from his lips regarding her. If there is info we are missing that was edited are you able to tell us? Love and light
Dr Phil failed miserably today. Where was his lie detector guy? Or was ? offered a test and she refused? She is withholding info at the very least. Has Dr Phil offered his private detective services?
I lost respect for Dr. Phil today…badly handled to put it mildly.
I would like to know y there wasnt a lie detector test
She would never pass a lie detectors test that girl is soo guilty…i to watched dr. Phil and was very disappointed with his response. I have been stalked for almost 20 yrs. By a female from high school…and yes it sounds crazy insane when i talk about it, because they drugged me several times, broke into every house i lived in. I moved every year for 18yrs. This girl and her friends have done thongs like posion my well water put hair remover in my shampoo,put chemicals in my make up to whear my eyelashes fell out and put craders in my face bc they wanted me to be ugly….all this over a high school boy? We should talk…i believe everyword you have to say….i getthe same problem no proof , you know in your heart your right keep fighting someone will listen…if not you have to keep going in the end they will slip up they will be caught…i believe you every word you say bad things like this DO HAPPEN!
I think Dr Phil was a waste of time and I feel that ? had everything to go with it. I don’t believe the dad had anything to do w it but def ?. I think there needs to be more investigation. Dr Phil was not the person to go to…he did nothing. There needs to be a lie detector test!
I was thinking the same thing…. Lie detector. Today was the first time I heard about this at all. I honestly thought at first that it was denial that she killed herself, but then I saw the young girl and I got a vibe she was lying based on her ” where’s the proof” shady.
Although the Dr. Phil show was disppointing, you’ve come a long way baby!
Shaking my head with disappointment….You can tell ? is lying when Dr. P asks her if she was involved in any way in the stalking and harassment of Morgan. She KNOWS something….Maybe she wasn’t there in the room, but she knows something.
I am so sorry for your loss. This blog will help bring forth all of the details regarding Morgans’s last 4 months of life. You will be able to share this with the world! Everyone will create opinions but what is most important is that you are searching for justice. You are believing in your heart! I pray for you!
There were so many facts left out of today’s show that are important to the story. I don’t know if they were edited out or if Dr. Phil didn’t give you a chance to get them out. But I was left feeling very angry about how you were treated. ?’s body language spoke wonders. And I’m hoping that people see that. That on top of K’s refusal to appear on the show speak wonders. The email that was sent on his behalf was, to me, very condescending. One positive thing that Dr. Phil said was that HE believes the case should be reopened. I hope that it is. I really do. My thoughts and prayers are with you Ingram family as the holidays and 1yr anniversary of Morgan’s death approach.
I hope they find the Truth For Morgan.
RIP Morgan.
Just watched the show as well….at first I was not sure what I believed and felt like you may have been trying hard to deny Morgans suicide….After reading this blog I feel that Dr. Phil totally dropped the ball on this one. Hopefully the detective he offered up, does a better job.
If someone was accusing me for murder and I was not guilty, I would be acting so much different than ?. Her attitude shows she knows something about what happened!!
Wow… I’ve been reading/following this blog for a couple months (almost since the beginning- but there are a few posts I’ve missed) and haven’t been too sure about what I personally felt until watching Dr Phil today. A few things that took me by surprise:
1. When ? was asked “…you either knew it or helped to cover it up. What do you say?”, she said, “I say, where’s the proof?!” instead of a much more innocent response like “I didn’t do anything” or “I wasn’t involved”. That kinda left my jaw open. (On top of the overall behavior & body language with all of her responses). I actually felt she may be innocent until I saw her & heard her response(s).
2. He only asked one time if you had “proof” and no, there is no physical proof. He then discounted other statements you made regarding ‘other’ evidence & ?’s facebook & things you read on there. THAT sounds like a pretty hard core reason to make accusations to me. Dr Phil should’ve jumped on her after that came up! And also when you said that Morgan positively identified K as her stalker- and that ? was providing alibis for him, that should’ve been questioned because it pretty much indicates she had SOME involvement, even if she wasn’t “the” murderer. -As well as many other things (although I’m sure I’m not telling you anything new…) but the show is only an hour I suppose.
3. This has been weighing on my mind for a while…. Is there any way those substances found in Morgan were given/injected into her PRIOR to her coming home & they just took a little while to actually cause the effects that killed her? (*Mind you, I’ve read about 90% of the blog. There are a few I know I missed, so if this was addressed before, I’m very sorry.).
4. What the heck was up with that random internet mom they had saying that the evidence doesn’t add up? Who is she? What does she have to do with this? They wasted your air time on her?! And I thought the point was to get info out in the open & Dr Phil to do his thing & collect all the information? Why do we care about her opinion?
5. And doesn’t Dr Phil do lie detectors? Wouldn’t it have been easy just to give ? one before the show? Or easier if the innocent little ? just offered to take one???
6. He thought you should take down your blog. Wow. Just WOW. Of all the dumb, stupid, crazy, dangerous things all over the internet, he feels YOUR personal blog should be taken down. But then he thinks that you should get the investigation you want (and deserve!). How are you supposed to stir up a fire for an investigation without the blog [and in turn doing the Dr Phil show]?
7. The show was horribly done- I’m so sorry. I get what he was trying to do, but it wasn’t done very well. It appeared they were trying to get people to back off of ? more than expose the Facts & injustice that your family is facing. But as long as people were listening to what you were saying, they will make surely come to that same conclusion. I don’t know whether ? did anything or not, but she certainly didn’t do herself any favors on air.
Good luck to you all, and I’m so very sorry for your loss 🙁
EJ
I am so infuriated with Dr Phil right now! You have my respect for not telling him to f*** off when he told you to close this blog. But more importantly, I want to know why he shut you up and protected that girl when you brought up Facebook. She incriminated herself so blatantly and he immediately shut it down! After you mentioned her posts to her friend, she suggested you were stalking her Facebook page. She didn’t deny it or call you a liar. You opened the door for that evidence Dr Phil kept barking about and he couldn’t jump up to stop it fast enough. I wish you all the luck for this. That girl is guilty of something.
I feel so horrified for you guys! I hope you f’ind her killer and find peace with justice for this scensless act of violence!!
I also find it interesting how ?’s fb page was down during the time that the show probably contacted her and was looking into the guests, and now it’s back up. Now that the show has aired. Hmmm
Toni, just watched Dr:Phil, I have been following your blog for sometime now and commented a few times, I wish they would have done a two part show, one with you and Steve and one with ? and her dad and possibly K and his parents would have shown and your story would have had more time for facts to be shown, and maybe thrown in a few lie detector tests for the other side, it was a bit disappointing. I truly hope you get your case reopened and if they prove somebody is guilty I hope they are arrested. This whole thing is such a tangled web of so many players (meaning your neighborhood) there is still no matter what a felony stalking case with some wierdo slinking around our streets that Garfield county let go, and dropped the ball completely, that is very confusing to me they had plenty of proof, enough in the fact it went from stalking to FELONY stalking. I am going off track for a minute sorry… so if my car gets stolen in Garfield county and I get hit a train does Garfield county just blow off my car was stolen? I am sorry for the rant, but I live here to and damn it that is a scary thing to think about. I don’t know that anyone will ever be arrested for the murder but if the stalker was actually arrested maybe they would talk. I am still convinced E needs to be questioned by an investigator. There has to be a weak link in this crew of people involved.I do think there is a lot more to this than you have scratched the surface on, a good investigator would be able to prove this, I am afraid garco just didn’t do enough or maybe didn’t have enough training. I will tell you at this point I have three horror stories of my own when trying to get help with our local finest, nothing as horribal as yours, but never the less left me feeling like I was on my own. You are in my thoughts, take care.
Oh, sorry I am so long winded here, but I forgot, I have kids and yes we get mad at each other , does NOT mean fight or even constitute being considered a argument, but my question is, from what I have seen in your words the love within your family, you said Morgan called you a ? And walked off, was this uncharacteristic of her, my reasoning behind this question is, if this was not her normal reaction maybe something happened before she got home that evening, maybe she had been threatened or something, I am on your side, it just seemed out of character for her. I only ask, to throw out another idea or avenues to track.
Hello, Saw you on Dr. Phil. I am confused about a few things. In one of your posts you mentions lethal dose of the date rape drug found in her stomach. Is this separate from the drugs you mentioned on the show? Also in one if your entries you mentioned her being dizzy after being out with friends. I do wonder if someone wasn’t planning her harm but in one case she left where she was and, sadly, she didn’t survive the second time. Im wondering if this was not separate from the stalker. I have been stalked, too, so I know her fear. But I think it is far more likely she was drugged while out, than that the stalker broke into your home. Please do respond when you have time. In any case, my best to you and your family.
I was honestly appalled Dr. Phil recommend you shut down this blog. Why would you ever stop trying to get justice for your beautiful daughter? If it wasn’t for this blog, you wouldn’t have had the opportunity of the show and shedding more light on this tragedy. So much unsaid.
I agree that ? seemed distant and
deceptive and I hope your appearance will finally bring a real investigation.
Steve’s tears especially broke my heart. Continued prayers for your family.
I agree with Suzanne…write on! Morgan can be very proud of her Mom and Dad!
Right on!! Clever play on words there, it totally applies!! I’m frustrated with Dr. Phil’s approach, too. Mainly, the way he handled Dr. Doberson. By asking only one straight and to the point question, he forced the reknowned pathologist to appear as though he did not support the Ingram’s when I believe, from his earlier letter to Toni, that he was open to the idea of homicide, he just needed more evidence from the “investigation” that should have been done. I’m certainly scratching my head about this one :/
Don’t give up….it’s always dark before the dawn….
I hated watching today’s Dr. Phil show. He was hounding you guys for the proof not understanding that the police wouldn’t investigate a damns worth of evidence at the time. You can’t have proof if they wont investigate for you otherwise you’re tampering with evidence. I literally felt your frustration through the TV. And Brook sitting there smug. Plays along the same lines of the stalkers who would lean on the truck tipping their noses up to authority as the police would walk away. They have no shame. And of all the nerve to try and turn the stalking back onto you like you’re stalking them. That’s so narcissistic. That whole episode left me frustrated.
That said, hopefully more eyes will have attention on the story at hand and look into the blog so they can read for themselves and come to their own conclusions. It’s just painfully obvious what went on last year and it’s painful to know nothing has been done to rectify the situation. Justice will be served, God always has a plan. Peace be with you, Tina + Family.
I still can’t believe that they got a restraining order against the Ingrams for their blog.. HELLO DON”T READ IT. And for stalking them..Please! Are they coming to ?’s house and tapping on windows and following them in cars? NO! Toni going to her facebook is not stalking..She is going for answers.
Dr Phil seemed to be on the other side. I was a bit shocked. ? cleaned up nice but it was evident she’s a bit trashy. Dr Phil forgot to highlight that she was 18 living w a boyfriend. Her Facebook comments before and after Morgans death. And in general her troubled past. It also doesn’t bother me a bit that she’s worried bc her name is driven through mud. Hopefully it will prevent her from getting a job when a future employer googles her or a new guy she likes does the same. Hopefully they will run scared bc they should. She is obviously dangerous.
I’m sorry for you loss! How did your dog die? The one 2 wks before stalking began. Was he/she sick? I see that one was your barker.Could it have been poisned? Same Drug! It could be tested!
There is a part when Dr. Phill asked ? if she.ever stalked Morgan and she said no then Dr Phil said they have evidence thru the camera ? at that point looked nervous and she swallow like what people do when there quilty . That left me thinking she should diffinately get a Lier detector done . Who knows she might have been.nervous but it left me questioning her involvement . I will pray for justice and that God will reveal the truth
This was the first time I saw ? Dad, and am I the only one who thinks that he could fit the first hunter cam shot of the stalker? The chin, the nose, forehead and hair just made my hair stand up. Those that have been following this blog did you get the same vibe I did with that?
TG I have to admit the first time I ever saw it I told Steve that’s who I thought it was and our neighbor across the street also included ?’s dad in the 3 possible suspects he believed it fit so I understand what you are seeing.
While that hunter cam had distortion you can see the mouth, chin and nose it does fit!!!!!!!! He was smirking almost laughing in your face on the show. Just like someone who knew they got away with murder would do. He clearly by being on the show both him and his daughter instead of taking the heat off of them, they brought more heat. Got to love that KARMA
I live in Glenwood Springs and have been following your blog for months. First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart aches for you and your family.
My husband & I watched the Dr. Phil show today. My husband has not read your blog and doubted ?’s guilt until she opened her mouth. Her posture and her comments immediately changed his mind. We were both so puzzled by Dr. Phil. It is not like him to just let things drop. Why didn’t he challenge ? when she didn’t actually deny her guilt but asked for “proof?”
My husband also noticed that the show never identified the location of the crime (other than a shot in front of a Garfield County sign). Why?
For what it is worth my husband theorizes that Dr. Phil didn’t believe ? but steeped back for some mysterious reason. Was he trying to preserve a future case? Was he afraid of ?’s lawyers? So weird. Hoping that this show adds to the pressure for the authorities to reopen this case. Morgan deserves more and so does your family.
Please don’t stop your blog as Dr Phil said you should. After watching the show today I felt compelled to read your blog, my heart went out to you and your husband I had to know what Morgan had been through. I will be honest I was watching the show telling my husband why didn’t they have dogs to alarm them also come to find out you did after reading what you’ve written myself. The video of the person in the snow is obviously a female and not male just the build alone tells me that. I feel that your sherrifs department dropped the ball and still is by not investigating this death earlier. Most people considering suicide to escape the they perceive as a hopeless situation do not continue to make Christmas gifts for the up coming holiday or speak of their future. They typically give away possessions, speak of suicide and become reclusive. Morgan did none of these things. You can finish your blog and keep it you’ve already out right accused the girl up the road and Keenan of having something to do with Morgans death on national tv there is no harm in telling her story and possibly saving someone else’s child. My prayers are with you and your family, I will pray for justice for Morgan. And some sense of healing for your family.
I watched the Dr. Phil show today and I think your family was done a great injustice!!!! I usually don’t comment on blogs, but this was so, so wrong! I started to read this blog today from the beginning and I really believe you know the truth. There was something “off” about that girl on the show and her eyes were very telling, and that was before I even read one page of this blog. I pray that you receive justice and peace. This world is going to hell in a hand basket!
I emailed The Dr Phil show expressing disgust with him. I was in the audience that day and Toni asked ?’s dad about the message he left cancelling an appt the morning Morgan was found lifeless in her room, he DIDNT respond. There is an actual recorded message on a mutual friend’s answering machine, where ?’s dad mentions names as to who the stalker is.
Toni can u plz discuss the message further?
Luc do tell us more shed some light on the 2 hours of taping! did Dr P ever confront ? with any evidence and what was her reaction? Did ? ever mention why she and Morgan stopped being friends. Did she say anything that could be used against the other accomplices mainly K? Did Dr P ever ask ? if she knew K was stalking Morgan? This is what I don’t understand, why weren’t these questions asked? Anyone who has read this blog which I would think someone from the show did would have a slurry of questions for her and for Toni and Steve.
Toni–do not despair. Dr Phil obviously did not read all the facts–and remember this….even bad publicity, is publicity. We will prevail for Morgan–we will! If you have not signed the
If you have not signed the petition, please do!!! Link is on the home page…upper right corner…Hang in there Toni….
Was there ever any rocks laying around under the windows? I don’t think he was using rocks, but just curious. I am praying for you and your family. And for Morgan too!
In regards to the Dr. Phil show, I just have to say I am so proud of you guys, you did GREAT.
However, Dr. Phil sucked.
Actually I shouldn’t say that because Morgan’s story was just told on national TV, which is fantastic and will hopefully help in making those in authority take notice.
I have not yet had a chance to read all the comments here so I am probably repeating what many have already said so sorry for the redundancy (LOL and spelling!)
I was very disappointed in Dr. Phil’s lack of questions/digging for answer, not only from ? and ?’s father, but also from you guys. It seemed every time a question was asked that you would finally be able to elaborate on, he went to break. Since I read your blog I know the answers are much more lengthy and detailed than what was shown. However, anyone new to the case would walk away thinking…”okay, no big news there…no evidence…nothing out of the ordinary.” I know there are time restraints or whatever but really, it all seemed so…incomplete if that makes sense. In my opinion Phil did a very poor job interviewing everyone on that stage and usually, in my opinion, he does a pretty good job. Now maybe I missed some things (my 5 year old was home from school and I was appointed Batman or some kind of villainess clothespin I can’t remember–it’s all a blur) but so much wasn’t spoken about. The panic button askew, the mystery substance on her chest, her nails (touched on but like dropped immediately), the fact she was at her doctor’s days before and all was well. Did the show try to contact the original coroner, the original detectives, your across the street neighbor? Phil always asks if someone is willing to take a lie detector test…not this time, why? The show was put together half-ass in my opinion…but at least it gave Morgan’s murder and your request for an investigation out there.
Anyway. many of those photos the show aired were new to me and I was once again (the first time seeing Morgan’s images here) reminded of how stunningly beautiful Morgan was and how there is a light that seems to radiate from within her…for some reason her smile, her glance at the camera soothes me.
Justice is coming Toni and Steve, hang in there, it won’t be long now!
Peace and Love
KS
You realize, though, he can’t just force her to take a test, right?
I just watched the show and I first want to tell you how sorry I truly am for your loss!!! I cannot imagine what you two are going through!!!! ; (
First off I don’t know if anyone noticed when Dr. Phil asked ? if she was involved her answer was NOT NO, it was Prove it!!!! If you ask me that screams guilt more than anything!!! And she was acting way to smug (like I got away with this) I haven’t read all of the comments but I hope that you can have the case reopened!!!!! ; )
Good Luck!!! ; )
I agree with previous posters; Dr. Phil did a terrible job of revealing any truth. My only hope is that maybe he did it for his own benefit… Maybe he could tell something was up and it would be better for the show if he could have you back and there was some big twist in the story to advertise. Since Dr. Phil is so big on doing the right thing, one would think he would have asked some more questions. But, at least he did help get the story to new people. Still praying for your family and for justice for Morgan.
I was able to DVR the Dr Phil show and watch it yesterday evening. While it’s not the outcome we all hoped with Dr P jumping on ?’s @ss, it did do a lot of good.
1) ? did a fine job of making herself look like she knows way more than she lets on.
2) Dr P agrees the case should be (re)INVESTIGATED!
3) Morgans story is OUT!!
No harm done Toni. You and Steve did a phenominal job. You’re doing what you think is right to get justice for your beautiful daughter and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Yesterday was the first I hear of your tragic story via the Dr. Phil show. My deepest condolences to your family.
I was very disappointed in the way Dr. Phil dealt with your issue. Were you able to review the show before it aired? I think he was trying to help you get beyond the tragedy and start to greave. However, the loss of a child is something a parent will never get over. Although it might not be clear that someone injected your daughter or poured poison down her throat, it was clear to me that she was bullied and coerced into her demise. I’m from Canada, and in the past year our judicial system has finally start holding bullies accountable for their actions.
It seemed to me that Dr. Phil was accusing you of a crime and was supporting Morgan’s bullies. Quite contradictory to his own “Battle Against Bullies” crusade. Perhaps he and the network were afraid of litigation from Morgan’s bullies.
…one more thing…
? – If you are so certain you have absolutely nothing to do with the stalking/death of Morgan, why don’t you prove us all wrong and volunteer to take a lie detector test?? I know if I were as innocent as you say you are, I’d do anything to help this family find the truth.
I am so sorry for your loss. This is the first I’ve heard of Morgan. Losing a child must be the most difficult thing anyone would have to experience in their lives. I have one comment about the Dr. Phil show. When Dr, Phil asked ? if she had ever stalked, or terrorized Morgan in any way, ? replied no, she immediately looked down and bit her lip. She lied. I am not saying that she killed Morgan, however, she obviously had something to feel guilty about in regards to the stalking issue.
When i heard about this story i could do nothing but watch it as i love Dr.Phil….But i was very disappointed in the outcome,there is something more to this story and its not being told this was someones daughter who was i believe murdered the young lady who is being accused knows something…she sat there so smug with no remorse at all and i feel as though the family was attacked and that this young lady was not asked any questions….to the person who committed this horable crime you will have your day in court and i hope you ask for forgiveness because this is something you have to live with the restof your life…my heart and prayers go out to you and your family and as a mother of 4 i would be doing the same thing you are…good luvk to you
I have been completely sucked into this story of morgans stalking and death (so have most of the women in a forum im on, we discuss it daily). I am very sorry for the loss of your daughter. I know the pain al l too well, I lost my son august this year (he was a preemie) Morgan reminds me very much of my sister in spirit and they were born on the same day august 16 1991 (probably something to do with the distinct leo personality). I hope and pray you get justice for your daughter!!
I was traveling yesterday and wasn’t able to watch the show and I can only find a few clips of the episode on Dr. Phil’s website. I have never watched the show before, and I can say that I never will again. He didn’t ask them anything! Why wouldn’t he ask ? to describe her relationship with Morgan, or if ? thinks they have reason to suspect her? What was the point of even having them there? It felt like they had scripted out what questions they would and wouldn’t answer, maybe even what he could and couldn’t ask them! They certainly tried to remain as emotionless as possible, and I think ? was really trying hard not to show her true colors! If the show asked ? to take a lie detector test and she declined, why wouldn’t they air that information? Like I said, I only watched clips, but I don’t think that Dr. Phil did this blog or your fight any justice. Hopefully more people will read the blog and something else will come of it. I know you won’t give up Toni, and we are all here cheering for you, your family, and most of all Morgan. Xxx
Am i the only person that was wishing they would have given ? a polygraph ?!?!
I think everyone that is disappointed with the way Dr. Phil handled this story should email them. Maybe he will do a follow up with actual in your face/hardcore questions. I felt like Dr. Phil was trying to tell Toni that she is wrong about ?. Dr. Phil could have a great pull for the Ingrams. Even if he thinks ? is innocent.
So sorry for your loss. Her siblings must also be so lost. I saw the show- That girl knows something. Can you keep in contact with dr. phil? maybe they could do another show more on the stalking side- the stuff leading up to the murder where you do have concrete proof? Maybe get one of his private investigators or lie detectors? I don’t agree with how Dr. Phil handled it at all but at the very least you got a ton more exposure. however your daughter passed on -it wasn’t natural. any way you look at it- stressed out to point that she makes it all end (i don’t think this is it- but even if it was that is still murder!!!) – The crime scene should have been investigated but i guess it was never considered a crime?!! disgusting. Are there photos of the scene etc that investigators could look over- un biased investigators I mean?
I am in canada- I didn’t know your daughter but reading through your blogs and seeing the photos and her art I feel like she made this world a much better place. It will never be fair that she was taken so soon. At least it looks like she made the best of her short life. Hugs for all if you.
So very sorry for the way Dr Phil did the show, not ever been my favorite show and most certainly not now! Was very disappointed in the whole thing and don’t think he gave you a fair shake. Has he even read the blog? And the crappy video’s that we can all see clearly on our computers…what was that about? I am truly sorry for what happened to Morgan, keep fightng……their are sooooo many who believe in you!
After watching, reading, and doing my own STALKING of their FB pages in the past, my number one suspects are ?, K and ?’s dad, I do believe that ?’s dad was the one who killed Morgan. I saw it in his eyes. Eyes are the window to ones sole…he is I bet the peeping tom, stalker of the past, present and future in that area.
Toni, I do believe that you were face to face with Morgan’s killer while on the Dr. Phil show. Did, ?’s dad get K involved to use him as a patsy, a cover for his Sociopathic crimes?
Eyes are to a person soul, and I saw in J the pit of hell and he is laughing.
To say that ?’s dad is involved more than as covering up just doesn’t make sense, unless we are not being told the whole story. If it wasn’t a single stalker, that convinced someone to do things to make him look innocent, then we must be missing something in the history of the story. There would have been something in the past to make these people team up against Morgan because of a hate or dislike of her. Otherwise, it just doesn’t add up. It makes much more sense that it was some sick person acting on his or her own. Maybe the girlfriend did things to make him look innocent because she really thought he was, LOVE IS BLIND! We have all been blind to something at one time or another because we were smitten. Or maybe she did things to make him look innocent because he convinced her that he was the victim because of some poor me story. I am doing this because of poor poor me… Another theory, the boyfriend did the stalking and wouldn’t stop, the girlfriend did the murder out of jealousy. But I really don’t get the feeling that it was the three of them acting together. For what reason? Why would they hate her so much? If there was no history, no reason for that hate, it doesn’t add up.
Toni, I do not believe that who ever was doing the stalking will be able to stop. One way you can catch them, is to use some of the money from donations to hire a PI to watch his every move. He won’t be able to stop.
So sad to see the Dr. Phil show. I’ve been following the blog, and I was really looking forward to seeing your daughter’s murder get more light and hopefully a new investigation. There were a lot of case fact that I remember reading that were not mentioned on the show, though. I was a little confused. For an outsider, it may have seemed less obvious that foul play was involved. The point of bringing ? in was to directly address her involvement in it, but a lot of the stuff she did was never mentioned…
Whatever happens, Toni, I hope this all gets figured out soon. I’m praying for your family.
I am appalled at how Dr. Phil handled this tragedy on his show. I have watched him for years and I have to say, he has lost a viewer forever. I had never heard of this tragedy out on the East coast, so right after the show, I googled your blog and read it for 5 hours straight. I wanted to see why he was so rude and aggressive towards you while being so soft and (dare I say wimpy) with ? and her father. After reading all of your entries to date, I can’t see how Dr. Phil took the time to read it and do his research properly or else why would he act to obnoxiously? I hope you find the answers and justice for Morgan. You have no one to back you in terms of local police, you would think knowing that that Dr. Phil would try to put himself in the position of your husband – would he sit back and do nothing? NO, he would have one show a week on his child, to try and find justice just like you and Steve are doing.
I can understand wanting to legally cover yourself and not release any pertinent evidence that may help catch the person but I can’t say that I wouldn’t do exactly what you are doing if I was in the same position. Thankfully Dr. Phil and I are NOT in your position so any and all advice on what he would do should be taken with a grain of salt. He is not the expert on your situation, he has never lived it. Shame on him for handling your segment that way.
I hope you find justice for Morgan and I hope you both don’t get discouraged from your mission because of Dr. Phil. Fight on!
Sending prayers to you and yours to finding the truth and, in turn, justice.
Please don’t stop blogging!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wondering your take on the show!!! Xox
Stay strong Toni. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I sincerely feel for you and hope you get the justice you so much deserve.
Please be sure to sign the petition to re-open this case….you can find the link on the home page, upper right hand corner.
I was able to watch the Dr Phil show yesterday and had never heard of this case before then first I would like to express my deepest regrets to you and your family for the loss of your daughter Morgan! I found this blogyesterday and read it from beginning to end. I can’t even imagine what you’re going through and think you are so strong for continuing your efforts for justice in this case as it would be easy to just give up. I look forward to the posts to come from you. May god bless you in finding justice for your Morgan.

If I lived in the area I would surely stake out one of the suspectes 12 hours a day, document everything they do and I wouldn’t care if they knew I was there or not.
I just watched the episode and want to tell you that I thought you both were amazing. That girl and her father did you a big favor by being guests on the show. I saw a disturbed and guilty young girl who will never add up to anything with a “father” who is a poor excuse of a father. They both lied through there teeth and you could read it all over there faces. I live in this community and if I ever see them I will look directly at them and meet them eye to eye, I will see them for who they really are. They have to live with themselves for the rest of their lives, and face us, society. They will always worry about what they have done and not done. It feels so good to lay your head down on your pillow with a clear conscience at the end of the day and have a good nights sleep with love in your heart, but these two people will never have that, what an awful life. I believe they are going to hell, I believe they are living it now. They should. Love and Light to you Toni and Steve. You are brave to have faced them, I and so many others are very proud of you. Keep speaking the truth and never stop, never.
I have only had the opportunity to watch what appears on dr Phils website as it hasn’t aired in Australia as yet. I thought when Toni was talking about ? and the medication she is/was on, and the beating up her friend, Brooke looked like she wanted to jump across the distance between them and tackle her.
I’m very happy that people who only just saw the show and did not know about morgan before this, have come to Toni’s blog to express support. That was exactly the point of the blog. Well don’t Toni and Steve. I can’t wait to see the whole show. If anyone finds a link please post it for the rest of us.
Oops I meant well done
Body language on the girl and father says deception to me but I am not LE.Maybe a body language expert could review the show.
Mrs. Ingram,
I read the entire blog and my deepest sympathies to your family for the loss of your beautiful and caring daughter. I am disgusted with the handling of this case from the police department, to the “coroners” all the way to the Dr. Phil show. As a Psychiatrist he should know the psychology of a sociopath and how stalkers many times try to discredit the victim and their families by making them appear unstable and that they are delusional. Part of a stalkers goal is to torment their victim psychologically, this is obviously the reason he/she/they liked to tap on the window to keep Morgan from sleeping and to let Morgan know that they could get that close to her anytime they wanted. The Book the Gift of Fear that you mentioned in the blog should be required reading for all women from an early age, and I am happy you mentioned it to your readers.
I hope you continue to post to the blog and that these animals do not scare you away from getting the truth out there in order to reopen the investigation with threats of restraining orders and legal action. Her story needs to be told and her killers need to be brought to justice.
I also believe the police department and the coroners office needs to be investigated for criminal negligence. Someone might want to look into whether any of them have connections to the alleged stalkers. The way you describe your town, it seems very small and it is very reasonable to think one or more of her stalkers may have connections to the PD.
Those who follow your blog know the details that you didn’t have time to go into on the DPS and/or wasn’t given the opportunity. It was a clear case of stalking and the police department’s poor handling is the reason why there is no evidence.
My heart and prayers go out to your family for having had to suffer through this and ultimately losing such a beautiful soul in such a tragic way.
I haven’t seen the full Dr. Phil episode, only the clips that were on his website.
As many others have stated before me, ?’s statements, facial expressions and body language seemed odd, and not at all what I would expect from someone in her (accused) position. “Where’s the proof… I did not kill Morgan” is strange, yes, but when Dr. Phil asked her if she had any reason to “kill this girl”, she responds “I don’t see why I would have, no”…. wow. Just, wow. You don’t see why you would have? That, to me, does not sound like a statement from someone with a clear conscience. I really expected something more emphatic like “How in the world could you think that I had anything to do with this… no! I had no reason at all to want to harm Morgan… this is crazy!”
After reading everything… the autopsy, the police reports, the blog, Facebook posts and photos… I think that what was happening was not stalking, but bullying and harassment. Horrific and terrorizing adolescent b*llsh*t that got taken way too far. It has a real “Mean Girls” nasty feel to it, which seems far more likely than some super stealth stalker guy. I just don’t think K is that smart. Girl on girl violence is much more insidious, psychologically terrorizing and often, less outwardly aggressive. I’ve felt that from the beginning and now it just seems as plain as day. I’m really not understanding why LE doesn’t seem to see it this way.
Toni, please know, too, that it doesn’t matter if Morgan ever experimented with any drug, or drank, or did anything like that if someone did something to hurt her. It’s neither here nor there. She seemed like such a sweet, normal young woman and sometimes kids that age DO experiment… and it’s OKAY. Anyone who would hint that she would somehow deserve to be bullied or harassed or somehow brought this upon herself because she had tried a drug… or even if she was regularly using drugs… is wrong. That is no different than saying a rape victim was somehow to blame for wearing a skirt. Blaming the victim is always wrong.
I hope LE does pursue a case against the turds who were bullying and harassing your daughter. Someone knows something. If their parents had any integrity at all, they would make their kids fess up to this nonsense and take some personal responsibility.
Many thoughts for peace and justice being sent your way from Oregon.
Amen to this post! You took the words right out of my mouth. It’s nice to read a rational, well composed comment without a hint of vigilante emotion. It certainly makes it more difficult for anyone to dismiss your view as unfounded, aggressive, or absurd while still retaining the support for the Ingram’s we all feel. Well done!
Toni…you haven’t blogged in a few days. Are you busy or are you really going to stop? I certainly hope you continue. I was quite disappointed in the dr Phil show. He didn’t take any action, or offer much of anything? I wasn’t expecting that. And WHY did he not do a lie detector test on ? She looks and speaks like she is guilty and/or hiding something. Hope you are doing well. Please keep up with your blog, I know it’s very important to you.
Thanks Stephanie and don’t worry I have not stopped blogging I am just so busy right now and working on the next blog to come out which is extremely important to me and I always want to make sure my facts are totally correct before I print them so hang on it’s coming
Toni, haven’t heard much from you. I hope you’re busy with a new investigation and not giving up on this blog.
Thinking of you and your family. <3
No worries Suzanne – I am not giving up on this blog it’s just that I am so very busy right now but I will be posting soon I promise.
Why does everyone use a ? for the girls name if she’s being accused on tv? I watched the show. Now I know WHY I don’t like Dr. Phil.
I had a dream that you found the killer. He had also buried a syringe and a few other things in his backyard. Here’s to hoping something big happens soon. <3
Why haven’t you done a new blog-post? Taking Dr. Phil’s advice? Quitting now after taking us all this close to the end?? I am sorry for your pain and for the loss of that wonderful and beautiful girl…but come’on don’t leave us hanging!!!
Don’t worry it’s coming – I have not given up on posting on this blog
Don’t worry there will be more blog-posts soon – I have absolutely not stopped, and I am not planning on stopping.
I have been following this blog from the start. I can’t believe the way that the Dr. Phil show went down! I have never been a fan of Dr. Phil, but this just made me sick to my stomach! I can’t believe how much he didn’t cover. I agree that ? is shady and her body language speaks volumes to me. I was waiting for the lie detector too. I did not think that ?’s dad was sincere. I felt like the Ingrams were the ones on trial and Dr. Phil kept pointing a finger at them instead of the other party. It’s interesting what somebody else stated about bullying. Obviously ? has a record of violence and I totally believe that K had some sort of infatuation or interest in Morgan and ? picked up on that and decided to torment her and this is a form of “gang stalking”. I think the point was to make her fearful and then they took a step too far.
I also saw ?s facebook and Ks at an earlier time and thing that were many incriminating things on there that shocked me.
Toni and Steve, do not let this one interview/show get you down. Do not stop fighting the good fight. You have thousands of people behind you that you can draw strength from. I am a mother myself to two beautiful daughters and even though they are young – they are lights in this world and all kinds of people are attracted to that. I told my husband that last night at dinner I took my 6 year old out and she had her ballet stuff still on. Very modest sleeved leotard and tights and a light jacket over top. When we sat down I had this uneasy feeling and kept catching a guy looking at her. Over and over. He was looking her up and down as if looking at her body. He did this so much that his wife turned around several times to see what he was looking at. It made the hairs on my neck stand up and I left. I threw my coat on her and shot this man the dirtiest of looks and left. There is not doubt that he was ‘checking her out” and not in an innocent way. My daughter has long beautiful curly hair and is very striking. She looks older for her age. It made me so enraged I had to literally stop myself from saying/doing something.
The point of this story is that although it is not at all what you experienced, I felt that mama bear come out of me and could not contain it. I instantly wanted my daughter to feel safe and not vulnerable. It lasted for moments and yet, I felt that fight or flight adrenaline and panic. I can’t imagine what you lived with for days/nights/month of somebody tormenting your most precious Morgan.
I think that you should pursue Dateline or 20/20 and contact them about doing a story on Morgan. They seem to gravitate towards stories of this nature and might give a more balanced story.
I also want to echo that it made me disgusted to see Morgan’s possible “drug/alcohol” use brought up on the show. Morgan is a victim here. At the a minimum – stalking and bullying and harassment.
Also, what on earth did Andrea the mom blogger add to this? I would lost my cool if I had been you Toni. You showed great restraint on the show and you and Steve should be proud. My heart breaks for you and I want you to know that I’m one of the voiceless readers of your blog. I’m not staying silent anymore and will do anything to help you get your story out.
What was said on ? FB page the night of the murder? I heard you talk a little about it on the show but I have missed it on the blog. BTW Go get them mama, if you don’t stand up for Morgan who will? From one mama to another I think you are doing a pretty damn good job. Morgan I am sure would be super proud! There is no greater love than that between a parent and a child. You and your husband keep showing your love and the truth will come out. I will be praying for you the whole way!
I’m curious about this too. I noticed in her FB, in one of her albums. there is a photo of her and a group of friends and Morgan’s in it. So they were friends. It’s heartbreaking.
I know exactly what picture you are referring to and no they were not friends – that picture was taken in Feb. 2011 and there is a story behind it…if you look at Morgan’s body language I probably would never even have to tell you the story.
I find it heartbreaking that she was hanging out with someone who would eventually do such harm to her. Are the other people in the photo any of the people involved? Is the guy with his arms around Morgan an ex?
I absolutely hate Dr Phil…..when he fist came out my father loved him and after his second season he caught me off guard when I asked about a show and he said he no longer watched it because it became a “Jerry Springer” type of show that no longer helped people but just did things for ratings. With that said, I 100% believe there needs to be an investigation reopened without biased opinions. I did get a creepy vibe from “?” In a stance that she absolutely is hiding something! I hope you get answers.
Why aren’t you posting lately, Mrs. Ingram? I’m truly sorry for your loss, and I keep up with you every day, feeling more and more as if Morgan was my friend, and I lost her…I watched the Dr. Phil show, and I can honestly say that from now on, I will not be watching him. He did nothing to entertain any of you or your husband’s thoughts or concerns, merely letting that horrid girl and her father voice their lies and literally get away with murder, yet again. I wish that there was something that I could do, anything. My heart really sinks for you and your family, and I pray every night as I read that maybe, God will see justice served for your beautiful daughter. Please, for all of us readers and the stalking victims benefiting from your experiences, don’t stop posting your blog. Don’t you dare let that pompous bald headed man and his inability to do anything other than satisfy network ratings get to your family. His opinion means nothing, and neither do that rude girl’s or her daddy’s. Ya’ll knew Morgan, ya’ll know the truth.. We all keep up with you, and wish you and your family nothing but the best, we love ya’ll.
Toni, no matter how many people are rude to you about this blog, please don’t give up. People are saying a lot of nasty things and admittedly, when I saw the police reports, I wasn’t sure what to believe. But when I saw ? on the Dr. Phil show, that was all it took for me to know in my gut that she is absolutely 100% guilty. There is no doubt in my mind. That girl murdered your daughter and she knows what she did. No matter how many people are against you, keep fighting for justice and don’t give up. There are people on your side. You have shown incredible strength and I pray you will keep going and that justice will be served.
I don’t see how anyone could doubt the stalker/stalkers ability! They obviously got into the house(roof/door/chimney lol). The biggest thing to me that shows how good at this they were us that they were able to do so without stirring the animals(poor sweet little fur babies). I mean we all saw the blog about how Tessi went crazy when Morgan was home alone and practically beat the door down trying to get out. I know that Wylah was a puppy and therefore hadn’t mastered barking, but still, how obvious is it that these loones are veterans at this and enough so they have evolved skills to avoid all detection. Dr. Phillip is not doing his job in my opinion since he cleverly chose to skip the details. Judging by miss priss on the show, this was probably the only thing she excelled in(stalking). Has anyone came forward about their where abouts on that dreadful night? Surely they have tried to say they have an alibi.
Who found morgan first? How unfathomable to imagine your grief! You have the grace of a dove and even moving your car for the emts shows how you were always thinking of everyone else even at your darkest hour. It’s amazing all the parties that worked against you from step one! I mean the PD, neighbors, coroner, ME and it just goes on! All so they could keep their reputation for a “safe” town! Ludacris!
I bet the whole back pack debacle that dr p clearly only saw on the reports was a trap set by the stalker. He wanted to defame morgan by making her look typical(boozer/parties) as to trick them into thinking it was a purposeful act in fact I believe they are still at it, just the other day I came across a photobucket with Morgan in them. i dont think it belonged to her, but she was in most of the pics. There were drugs/pills, weed everywhere! Morgan was in them but she WAS NOT partaking in use. It almost seemed…forced? Wishing good luck in your search for truth and justice for all. I have and will continue Donating to the cause 🙂
I absolutely believe Dr. Phil dropped the ball on this one. I have a lot of respect for him but this episode blew my mind. He didn’t even give you a chance to put all the evidence out there. Being a big advocate for the lie detector I don’t understand why he didn’t suggest it for ? and her father.
I have a daughter who I am very close with. I can tell by her voice if she’s stressed, happy, sad, etc. so I’m sure I would know if she was thinking about suicide. I am so sorry for you loss and can’t even imagine what you’re going through. My kids are my life and I would do the same thing as you are doing. Keep fighting until you get justice for your beautiful daughter.
Hi Toni, michelle here from Australia again.
I just watched the dr phil show on youtube, what can I say except that I am absolutely disgusted and outraged, I am so annoyed and angry at how he handled that, how dare he!
He will be getting an email from me that’s for sure!
And as for that low life girl ? On there well little does she know that someone’s facial expressions and body language reveal ALL, she had something to do with this there is no doubt about it as did her pathetic father.
They clearly read this so I hope they read this and see that even people in Australia don’t like them! Karma will get them & the truth will all be revealed.
Gotta feel sorry for that things baby! What hope does it have in life!
& who the hell says “I say where’s the proof” she’s a bloody idiot that’s for sure, she knows there’s been no investigation and there is no proof, grr this is so frustrating I just can’t even imagine how you & steve are feeling if this is how I feel and I am in Australia..
Lots of love & guidance your way
I know you’ll keep blogging 🙂
They had some nerve didn’t they getting an intervention order, all shows signs of being guilty!! If they were innocent they wouldn’t care what people think nor would they continuously check the blog, so in my opinion that thing is still stalking YOUR family!
I was one of the people who emailed Dr. Phil, and I have to agree with most who have commented that they were disappointed in the show. At least it gets your case more attention. Did the Dr. Phil show offer any kind of investigator for you? I know on past shows they’ve had their own investigators go to work. I think if they hired a professional investigator for you that wouldn’t taint any evidence either way that it would further help getting an arrest. It’s too bad Keenan and his mother didn’t want to be on the show. Can’t say I can blame him though; he seems smarter than ?, and probably knows the guilt would show all over his face. I didn’t get the same feeling about ?’s Dad though. He seemed more genuine. I think it’s possible he really didn’t know what was going on. You know parents will go down believing every last word of their child. Still praying you get the help you deserve, and can find peace.
No he didn’t offer an investigator – at first they were talking about it but then it did not happen. He did feel that the case would be opened after the program aired. What I do know is that it did get out into the public eye (which was great – so thank you), now we have an even larger scale thing that will be happening soon – so stayed tuned.
Did the story just end on your last thanksgiving day with Morgan? I don’t see updates or blogs past then. Am I missing something? I don’t get the whole story up to the days he is murdered. I am probably missing something. Any direction would be appreciated.
Nope – unfortunately the story did not end on Thanksgiving day – she was murdered sometime between 9:45 pm (Thursday night 12/1/2011) and 5:30 am (Friday morning 12/2/1012). And after that there is even more to the story as we came out of shock and finally started to hear things from people and started to ask questions about things. I will be blogging about it it shortly – it’ extremely emotional but I am going to do it.
I realize it didn’t end there I just am so into your story. It was aselfish question and i am sorry. I am looking forward to hear what happened from Thanksgiving to December 2nd. After living through being kidnapped, raped and brutally assaulted at 19 I have told my story nearly 200 times, sometimes is easier then others but its never easy. I am so sorry for your pain, loss and lack of help from the officers. I will be praying for your strength and light to shine everyday from hear on it.
My comment got cut short sorry, Stay encouraged nd blessed and don’t let people on here get you worked up for their own entertainment, I was troubled and know one knew or understood no one would ever thought I was suicidal until I ended up in the psych Ward not saying your daughter did this to herself but give yourself genuine time to grieve when my mother died I thought the only people in this world that would understand my pain were people that lost a parent or child …let the anger go and the guilt of there was something else u could have done its not your fault or Steve’s u both seem like very loving parents just be there for one another God is keeping your Angel safe he no longer hurts she’s at peace God Bless and Love to your family
I know it’s hard to understand, Morgan’s friends and relatives know, but Morgan and I were extremely close – she told me things that most 20 year olds do not tell their parents. This is not unusual for our family as both our other older children did the same thing. Morgan was under extreme stress (just like Steve and I were) from the stalking, but because she was so strong and because she loved life so much she did not take her life – if she did the stalker(s) would be responsible for that, but in this case she was murdered instead. We know how and with what and it makes me sick to my stomach to think of what she went through while we were on the other end of the house.
We know Morgan is in Heaven – we know she is stronger than ever and with a whole army of angels behind her she is pushing for change to be made – she wants laws to change, she wants victims protected and she doesn’t want to see this happen to another girl and that is why Steve and I (no matter hard it gets) need to keep pushing forward to have an investigation opened into her murder – until all the evidence that we have can go to the proper authorities there can not be a conviction. We do not carry around anger – there is no purpose to that. So sorry about what you had to go through and I am happy you are OK now.
