OK, this is REALLY odd. I was looking at the image of the neighborhood on Google Earth and 2 doors down, in the back yard, the letters PUTU are mowed into the lawn. I noticed a new feature on Google earth where you can look at a historical view of the same location, and that's when I noticed the date of the image, 09/23/2011. The same time as the reported stalking. I've been trying to figure out what the letters mean and why they were there, and most importantly, who lived in that house at the time. PUTU . . . P-U To You? Don't know if this means anything at all, but I did find it odd that the image date was 2 months into the stalking reports. Does anyone else see that image?
Yes and it was discussed in comments on the blog. It is very strange to me. You can also see a trail in the berm behind their house in that google image and that is the trail the family believes was left by a persistent stalker as he or she cased their home.
They also state that the berm was totally mowed down one day, even though in the entire time they had lived there, it had never been mowed (decades?) and that after the mowing, one couldn't see the trails.
There is a curse word in spanish that's very close to PUTU...change the last U into an A or an O, and then look it up on google...not pretty. And yes, I saw it and noted the date and am interested in what happened before that (which is still to come, I'd guess), but have kept the comments to myself...I do think it's deliberate...but I am not sure at whom the writing is directed. LOL...
IIRC, that house is the house where K and B lived during the stalking...

Are you sure? That is very significant to me if correct. I saw PILI, though. Or something similar. Either way, it would be an extreme coincidence that people accused of stalking would mow letters into their backyard like that. What for? Why at that time?
My main issue with this case is that LE stated they had no evidence of stalking (cannot find the article ANYWHERE though it came up on multiple occasions of googling M before this thread and national attention of this case took off, which in the context of this case is now causing me more concern), yet LE had to have had enough evidence/information to classify this case as felony stalking. Mom states on more than one occasion that the case was upgraded to felony stalking, so what needs to take place for that to occur? My point with this post is that it cannot be both ways. Either their was no evidence of stalking, which means that the case would not have been classified as such (AFAIK), or LE does have evidence of stalking but not enough to name anyone as the perp (or just want the case closed). The only other explanation is that the stalking never occurred (but why would LE classify it as felony stalking if it never occurred), or mom is lying about it being upgraded to a felony stalking case. I have no reason to believe that mom would lie about this being classified as a felony stalking case, nor do I believe that LE would classify it as such without solid evidence. Is there a cover-up of some sort?? I am just so confused about this particular issue. According to the blog, the case has not yet (this time last year) been classified as felony stalking, but apparently at some point does. This says to me that there has to be solid proof of stalking taking place before it is classified as stalking....meaning that you can't just say you're being stalked and give reasons that can be easily explained.
Really excellent questions.
Yes, Mom states that, but in Colorado ALL stalking is considered a felony, so maybe she meant upgrade it from harassment to stalking. As for solid proof, that's subjective. They might have considered the family's account as proof enough. But Mom hints that there is a certain event that's the tipping point, so we have to wait and see.
I saw on a video interview that Morgan was actually followed in her car. If so, it seems she would have a better idea of who the stalker was, depending. I am eager to see what else there is. In my opinion, even the most stunning stalker is going to slip up at some point if they continue on for long periods. I want to see what other evidence the Ingrams have.
