I WAS TOLD IN JOHNSON COUNTY KANSAS DISTRICT COURT THAT I WAS NOT A GRANDMOTHER
TRUTH
SOMETIMES YOU GET DISCOURAGED
BECAUSE I AM SO SMALL
AND ALWAYS LEAVE MY FINGERPRINTS
ON FURNITURE AND WALLS
BUT EVERYDAY I'M GROWING
I'LL BE GROWN SOMEDAY
AND ALL THOSE TINY HAND PRINTS
WILL SURELY FADE AWAY
SO HERE'S A LITTLE HAND PRINT
JUST SO YOU CAN RECALL
EXACTLY HOW MY FINGERS LOOKED
WHEN I WAS VERY SMALL
I would give anything to see fresh hand prints on the windows, the TV screen and coffee table, etc.
Natalie Bright, Gail Fagen, Danny Bright testified that I was not a grandparent to my daughter Jennifer Morgan's son Owen Bright. Yet I took care of him for almost 3 years.
CITY OF OLATHE, KANSAS POLICE DEPARTMENT'S "INCIDENT INVESTAGATION REPORT" CONCERNING JENNIFER M. MORGAN'S SUICIDE
THEIR TRUTH
The investigation was handled by Police Officer Patrick L. Foster and his supervisor then Captain Shawn M. Reynolds. And Police Officer Brian R. Peters. Neither me or my husband ever heard of Foster or Peters.
The first page list the electronics found in Jennifer's car when they found her.
November 24, 2010 at 10:30 am Peters was asked to assist in the investigation of "a missing endangered person, Jennifer Morgan". Peters then had Jennifer entered into "NCIC" (The National Crime Information Center) as a missing person.
Peters then met with Natalie Bright to obtain Jennifer's checking account information. He contacted Main Street Credit Union and advised them of the investigation and they advised that her debit card had not been used since November 22, 2010 which would have been the Monday before her death. Natalie Bright also advised Peters that Jennifer had a Discover card and "lo and behold" she had the number with her. Discover advised Peters that the credit card hadn't been used in the previous 48 hours.
At 4:00 pm Peters advised the Station Officer to take Jennifer's name off the NCIC because while Peters was doing the above for 6 hours they had already found Jennifer hours earlier.
INVESTIGATIVE BY OFFICER PATRICK L. FOSTER WRITTEN NOVEMBER 29, 2010
On November 24, 2010 Foster was contacted by Reynolds and asked to obtain Jennifer's cell phone records to include current GPS location. "Captain Reynolds said that Sergent Morgan was missing and believed to be possibly suicidal". So, at 8:45 am that day they were already thinking Jennifer was suicidal and as I have stated before the City of Olathe Police Department knew she was possibly suicidal on the day before when there were "secret meetings concerning Jennifer and her employment status" and the fact that Natalie Bright was having an affair with Sarah Tackett.
Foster then submitted a "Exigent Circumstances Request" form and sent it to Sprint to try to pinpoint her location from the cell tower. They informed Foster that both of Jennifer's phones were powered off and was not receiving a signal.
At 11:20 am Foster was advised that Jennifer's body had been discovered in Miami County, Kansas. Reynolds contacted Foster at 2:20 pm and told him that Natalie Bright "consented" to allowing the removal of Jennifer's laptop computer and an Olathe Police Department owned handgun (which was under Jennifer's bed her home). It's not exactly clear how Natalie Bright knew Jennifer had a gun under her mattress, unless the sneaky, underhanded liar searched her bedroom when Jennifer wasn't there.
At 2:20 pm on November 24, 2010 Reynolds and Foster contacted Natalie Bright at Jennifer's home. Bright showed them the kitchen location in which she had discovered two prescription bottles belonging to Jennifer. Bright said "that w hen she had discovered the bottles she noted that the "Xanax" bottle was empty". The second bottle, Lexapro still contained tablets".
Foster also "discovered" a Taser in Jennifer's nightstand. Could Jennifer have had the gun and taser because she was afraid of Natalie Bright, Gail Fagen and Danny Bright? As well as Sarah Tackett. We'll never know.
Foster stated "a formal interview was not conducted with Natalie Bright". I would like to know why? Nobody questioned about her whereabouts the day Jennifer disappeared and the day she died.
Foster examined the prescription bottles and stated that "the prescribing doctor was Stephen K. Opdyke". Whether this was a glaring mistake or to mislead us I don't know. Jennifer's doctor was Rita Oplotnik and she prescribed the drugs filled on November 18, 2010. The fact that the Xanax bottle was empty, we don't know if Jennifer got rid of them because they made her feel dizzy as she told me or if Natalie Bright got rid of them to make everyone think Jennifer would overdose.
The coroner's report said the only thing Jennifer had in her bloodstream was CELEXA. WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? NOBODY COULD ANSWER THAT.
Foster goes on to state that Det. Ronnie Burk (Burk is spelled wrong throughout the report Burke). I guess Jennifer Morgan wasn't that important to the City of Olathe Police Department to get the details right.
Foster gave Burke the prescription bottles to aid in their investigation. Burk instructed Foster to examine the hard drive on Jennifer's laptop to see if he could find anything pertaining to the suicide.
The last task Foster handled on November 24, 2010 (the day Jennifer died) was to request lock down any access to Jennifer's electronic accounts to include email and network access. That was the one thing done that satisfied me because Natalie Bright's lover, Sarah Tackett could not go snooping through Jennifer's things.
Everyone went home to enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend. Nobody did another thing until November 30, 2010. That was the day of my daughter's funeral service. My husband and I had no celebration or Thanksgiving dinner.
One November 30, 2010 Foster was provided access to Jennifer's desk voice mail account. He reviewed the voice mail and noted that the system contained two new voice mail messages and three saved messages. One of the new voice mail messages was from Natalie Bright. The message consisted of " I don't know what kind of drama is going on here but call me". That is a real concerned message.
Foster and Reynolds reviewed Jennifer's email and network accounts and did not locate anything that appeared connected to her death.
No work on the investigation until December 7, 2010. Reynolds told Foster to release the laptop computer back to Natalie Bright. Natalie Bright was eager to get the computer back. Ten minutes after Foster contacted her she met him in the City of Olathe Police Department's parking lot so she could pick it up. A forensic copy of the computer's hard drive was kept in the computer lab. I don't think she knew that.
On December 9, 2010 Foster listed all Jennifer's Electronic Evidence. An examination of all the devices was done. The purpose of the examination was to locate any items on the list of devices relating to the "apparent suicide of Sergeant Morgan". There were several "thumb drives" on the list.
Basically Foster could not find any concrete evidence that Jennifer researched "suicide" or "how to do it". However, after he examined the hard drive on Jennifer's home computer he noted that Jennifer logged on November 23, 2010 and was on the computer from 11:07am to 11:25am. That is the day she disappeared. Natalie Bright had access to that computer that afternoon, evening and on the morning and afternoon before Foster picked it up November 24, 2010. He goes on to say "I saw no activity that I could directly connect to a specific individual". I believe Jennifer left work on the 23rd and went home left a note on the computer and Natalie Bright erased it before anyone would find out. That's why she was so eager to get the laptop back.
Foster examined Jennifer's cell phones and in the report he notes that he attached a list of the dumps of the phones, BUT WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE THOSE.
Supposedly this is the official report on the investigation into my daughter's suicide, however, I doubt that. As I said earlier no fellow officers were interviewed. In the meeting to get the report Captain Greg O'Halloran and Captain Reynolds denied me access to Jennifer Morgan's personnel file and/or any attachments to this report.
Cops are supposed to protect their own. In Jennifer Morgan's case, they did not. The City of Olathe, Kansas Police Department let one of their own down and swept her life under the rug. Jennifer Morgan gave 17 years of her life to that department and flimsy report is what she got.
The next blog will be about the questions I gave to my attorney (Joshua T. Mathews - The Mathews Group) to ask Natalie Bright in her deposition which he totally disregarded.
