It’s been eight years since Morgan Ingram, 20, was mysteriously found dead in her bed in Carbondale, Colorado.
The college student’s Dec. 2011 death was ruled a suicide. But her parents, Steve and Toni Ingram, have long argued that their daughter was not suicidal or even depressed, and that the circumstances surrounding her death don’t add up.
The Ingrams claim their daughter had been stalked for four months before she died — and according to various news reports, they believe her alleged stalker killed her. Though Morgan’s autopsy revealed no signs of bodily trauma, her parents, who found the body,have claimedshe was bruised and bloodied.
The parents’ theories will be examined along with other aspects of the case on the special 90-minute season finale of Oxygen’sAccident, Suicide or Murderon Saturday, May 18, at 6 p.m. ET.
The episode includes the insight of forensic investigator Paul Holes, best known for his work onthe Golden State Killer case. Holes played a pivotal role in breaking the case open when he uploaded DNA from one of the Golden State crime scenes to a genealogy website in the hopes of finding a match — leading to the subsequent identification and arrest of suspect Joseph DeAngelo. (The DNA evidence allegedly linked DeAngelo toat least 13 murders and 50 rapesacross California throughout the 1970s and ‘80s.)
