then i walk over to shappell who s still sitting in the passenger s seat and he has a dead stare straight ahead. there was something inside the truck that the detective thought was peculiar. the back seat was full of clothes. i could see a laundry basket, bags and backpacks. he said, oh, morgan is going to do laundry across the street. i said, well, morgan has a washer and dryer in her apartment. i saw it yesterday. things just aren t adding up. i said, would you mind coming back to the police station, i do have a couple more questions for you. and in that moment as the detective turned his back on steve, something unexpected happened, something chris mengel, still filming, caught on video. yo, yo, yo. steve jumped in the driver s seat, pulled out of the lot and sped away. that s him, the dude with the red hat. that s steve. morgan walks over and sits down on a step, puts her hands in her head and says oh my, maybe he did do something to kevin.
here was morgan laying the blame on steve, telling police he had attacked and killed kevin at the landscaping garage on the day he supposedly left her and the kids. the detective was stunned. that earlier sighting of kevin alive and well in town, had it been a mistake? how long had she been lying to police? i m floored. i m like, why didn t you tell me this? when your boyfriend tells you that he hit your husband in the back of the head with a shovel, you call the police. are you trying to protect steve? not at this point. morgan said that steve had only just revealed to her what he had done, but the detective suspected he wasn t getting the full story. hoping to trip her up he asked her to write down a timeline of events for the week kevin disappeared. you going to write it down? uh-huh. most of what she wrote stuck to the story, but this was a strange detail.
to the person i was speaking to did not seem to fit. morgan s attorney said the case against morgan was weak. she wasn t at the crime scene when kevin was killed and had no convincing motive for wanting her husband dead. in fact, financially she was way worse off without him alive. he was the lifeblood. you think she had some musings like i wish my husband wasn t around, i wish someone would take care of it. i think morgan was walking around with dynamite saying these musings to every people, and steve chappelle was the match that lit that dynamite and it exploded. he is the cold-blooded killer. a cold-blooded killer? he hardly looked like one when police picked him up in denver and got him in the interrogation room. he was make, quiet, voice shaking with fear.
