I've wondered about that, too. The possible explanation I have is that perhaps these inconsistencies are the evidence of psychologically self-preserving denial? Meaning, if they can convince themselves by acting as though everything is normal that indeed everything IS normal and there is nothing...

But read more carefully: there is no mention that Tina was giving chase with him. Look back at the bullet point I quoted. Only Steve was out circumnavigating the house that time. No second figure was seen on video chasing Steve. His experience was that the motion detector lights would go on as...

Yes, that post, but different thing. Here it is: So I mis-remembered part of it: there was no FIGURE visible behind him, but from the video that they replayed after the fact Steve sounded certain that the stalker was following him based on how the motion detector lights were going off as he...

No. It was one of the more recent posts. If I can find the link I'll post it, otherwise I'm hoping someone else recalls reading that and can corroborate that I read it correctly.

But there WAS someone there. I for the life of me cannot recall which post mentioned this; I think it was in the post itself and not the comments; but Toni recorded one incident in September of last year when Steve ran out of the house immediately after hearing someone banging on the windows. He...

I'm so sorry you had to go through that--you know far better than I do what I was talking about! I'm sure it just makes you feel crazy. I have an active imagination and jump at sounds outside my window, but I always write it off as nothing. But if I knew it WERE something...man, I'd be jumpier...

I'm just speculating but I could see how part of the huge mindf*ck stalking produces is that it reignites all the old childhood fears of being home alone, being in the dark, boogeyman in the closet, monster under the bed, etc. I remember watching a horror movie at a sleepover when I was ten and...

Yes, it is--it is a playground for the rich and famous. At the same time, it is a place where average middle-class folks try to establish families and comfortable homes. It is also a place where people come after college to blow off steam skiing and partying while they either a) apply to grad...

Well, not quite that simple. Perhaps it started out that way in this valley, but then what happens when such a skew towards denial and wanting to appease the wealthy continues for decades? The system begins to go corrupt. Because the valley as a whole can be thought of as one small town...

Actually, I can think of a very good reason for LE to downplay crime in the valley where the Ingrams live (and where I live, too). The entire Roaring Fork Valley, not just Aspen, but from Aspen all the way to Glenwood Springs, heavily relies upon the service industry economically. The service...

I see where you're coming from, but for me, it's the opposite. I think it's perfectly plausible that a determined stalker, one who spends much of every day monitoring his victim's every move--or in this case, every move of the members of a household IN AND AROUND the household--would prove quite...

I have heard that it can indeed take months for testing results to come in. Where I heard this: I read an article once that the many crime shows, CSI in particular, are spurring many people to study criminal justice or forensics. The article claims that these CSI aspirants perhaps do not...

It seems that part of the "fun" for the stalker is the torment he causes his victims, not the capture of his victims. It's like threatening to tickle someone: sometimes the threat of impending tickle is worse than actually being tickled (I speak from experience on the tickling bit!). I think...

I live in the same valley as the Ingrams. No one leaves their lights on at night, and there are very few street lamps, if any. People who have lived in such an area for a long time like the Ingrams are accustomed to this. Few long-time residents here lock their doors. People poke fun at me here...

What about this possible scenario? The stalker entered the house sometime during the day or evening before Morgan died, and waiting in a hiding place inside where he knew he'd not be detected. Perhaps both the parents and Morgan were all out of the house at some point that day or evening...

Thanks! So do I, but then I also find it flummoxing how someone could get into someone's bedroom and take pictures of them sleeping, as someone upthread mentioned regarding another, unrelated stalking case. The only thing I can think of is that stalkers spend so much time obsessively...

I've been reading this thread for several days now and finally decided to join the discussion when I had to admit I was hooked! This case is fascinating. I cannot imagine going through what Morgan and her family have gone through. So sad and my heart goes out to them. I, too, am shocked...
