Family of missing St. Pete teen hangs on to hope
"If she is somewhere else, I just want to know that she's not being hurt. That's my big thing," said Leah Martin. "I just want to know that she isn't being hurt."
Martin feels that extra bit of hope mixed with fear. She thinks it's possible Morgan may not be alive, but after what happened in Cleveland, she just doesn't know.
St. Petersburg, Florida -- One year after a St. Petersburg pregnant teen disappeared her mother still holds on to hope.
"We don't have any information at this point that would certify this is a homicide investigation," St. Petersburg police spokesman Michael Puetz said. "But the circumstances of her disappearance lead us to believe that that's the likely scenario."
The last time Florida mother-to-be Morgan Martin, 17, was seen by her family was just after midnight on July 25, 2012. Eighteen months later St. Petersburg police say they are still looking for her.
The teen-- four months pregnant at the timehad just stepped outside the family home at 12:30 a.m. to chat with the man she said is the father of her unborn childa 25-year-old man she met on Facebook.
According to St. Petersburg police, the man, whose name was not released, was questioned but, in the absence of evidence linking him to the missing girl, has not been charged in the matter.

Police say the case remains active, but they do not know what happened to Morgan and have not made any arrests.
Detectives "continue to work leads as they are developed," St. Petersburg police spokesman Mike Puetz said. "I can't say whether they have any one individual they consider a suspect, but obviously, they have looked at, and continue to look at, those individuals that were involved in her life to see if any one of them might have some motive to harm her."
any updates?Hi all, I'm new to the blog but I've been following Morgan's case-and others as well for a while. It sadens me to know that there is a major possibility that Morgan is not alive. After reading everyone's posts and the help of Google maps. I have a general idea of the area in which this all happened (Florida).
So, I've been looking specifically on NamUS- the unidentified body site. One that sticks out is NamUs UP # 13109 [ME/C Case Number: 2014-0392].
Why? Because she had black curly hair, like Morgan; and was pregnant at time of death, like Morgan. Now, Morgan lived in St. Petersburg, FL and her Baby's Father lived in Hudson, which is only an hour or so away from each other. The unidentified body was found in International Waters in Miami-Dade County, FL.... I've learned there is no way to really drive from neither Morgans or her BD's home to Miami-Dade County, you have to fly or other arrangements. But flying from either Morgans or the BD's home to Miami-Dade County is only 2 hours. It sounds convincing that this could possibly be Morgan ??
I mean, Hudson and St. Petersburg are both close to waters. It would be very reasonable to say that body could have traveled in water, especially with the time span since she's been missing. Lastly, they've stated the unidentified body's age is pre-20s and the weight doesn't match exactly with Morgan, but I'd say this is pretty substantial enough to submit for comparison.
Here's the link to the NamUS profile: https://identifyus.org/en/cases/13109
And in case anyone was wondering, International Waters is a term used for more than 200 miles or more out in water from any US coast; 3 miles and further than a US coast is referred to as Federal Waters.
