[GateKeeper]

Actually..where have we seen this?? Im not being snarky,Im seriously asking.

I cant remember the names,but I recall an "incident" where a young,pregnant women was murdered my the "baby daddy's" present GF,after he told her to meet him for a talk about getting back together. It was a set-up.
Its gonna bug me until I think of that poor little gals name.

OK Peeps!!! I FINALLY found what I wanted to share with you guys!!
The crazy part is...Im super,duper close to this case (REALLY close),but for the life of me I couldnt remember the names involved. I think after awhile the "cases"start to all run togther. Perhaps because we see so many patterns and similarities...over and over again.

Anyhow...THIS is the incident that came to my mind when I first heard about Morgan.

WATERVILLE — The testimony was graphic. Michelle Kitterman died violently.

Kitterman sat in the Douglas County Superior Court courtroom, surrounded by family who held her hand and stroked her back, as confessed murderer Brent Phillips described the killing. In the courtroom, a jury was hearing testimony in the trial of Lacey Hirst-Pavek, who is accused of hiring Phillips and others to kill Michelle Kitterman. The 25-year-old Tonasket victim was pregnant with Hirst-Pavek’s husband’s child, the prosecution contends.

I don't know what this world is coming too, I really don't. But it is very possible that she was on the phone with the baby daddy and when she went outside to meet him, there was others in a car waiting for her. I hope they keep the heat on these people. So sad, really so sad, this case and the one you posted.

Gatekeeper thanks for the link...

Sadly, I can see the common thread tho I will continue to hope for Morgan's safe return.

Where are you Morgan??

Your mom has worried enough already, she needs you home NOW...

& YOU deserve to be safe & sound, in the compnay of your loving mother.

:candle:

It could be that she willingly got in his car to talk and he just drove away with her that easily. If that is the case the only way to locate her would be through a tip from someone he told, or through a deal when someone who knows what happened gets in legal trouble and needs to weasel out, or when someone happens upon her remains. The phone could have been tossed at any point along the way. I would think that getting a time line of his movements from his actual girlfriend would narrow down how far he could have taken Morgan.

The neighbor stated that they saw a white car in front of the house, but they did not say they saw Morgan outside talking to a man and they did not say that they saw Morgan get into the car, so likely she was already in the car.

Pregnant teen still missing, six weeks later

ST. PETERSBURG (FOX 13) - Morgan Martin would now be six months pregnant, but no one has heard or seen the 17-year-old for six long, agonizing weeks.

"Even if she's not alive, she doesn't deserve to be out there, that's the hardest part, still," said Morgan's mom Leah.

Since her disappearance, Equusearch, a Texas search and recovery team, has been on standby waiting for police instructions.

Detectives, Leah says, are also monitoring chatter online. She believes they may be close to a break in the case.

"The detective told me, just hold on. I said OK," said Leah

Sorry if this sounded snarky, I do think they are doing the best they can, it just isn't enough to get the word out or the MSM on it. I have longed believed that girls like Michelle Parker get way more attention than others. We have Sandra Lamire missing, now months, I hear nothing in the news about her, or anyone looking for her. You have to hook up with people that can help you. Michelle's mom sought out help from the bar that Michelle worked at, they did fundraisers, still doing them. They had beautiful posters made up and they have a website and FB and no "trash talking" on it. You have to work with the police, you can't let people call them "trolls" on your missing page. She is a victim regardless of who she dates or hangs out with, but people have to feel safe to get involved. KWIM? If they could get involved with another missing group maybe they could help them with flyers and fundraisers and shirts for sale.

I did see her photo in the lineup on the main page at www.missingkids.com I recognized her face, wondered who it was and wasn't surprised to discover it is Morgan. The amount of time that is passing is disturbing, tho.

Well at least they have her still in the news FWIW. I am so sad she hasn't been found or more people shouting about her disappearance.

The article does say it is now a State wide alert, but only $1,000 reward to get somebody to roll over on these people. Surely they can get some money up for this beautiful girl and her unborn baby. It sould be way higher, I know Crime stoppers only goes that high, but way hasn't anyone up the anti on this reward????? Come on people this is a crime!
