- Details of Disappearance:
- Morton vanished on June 2, 2014, from her ex-boyfriend’s house in Center, Texas. She left behind her car, purse, and keys, taking only her wallet and phone. Her phone was turned off soon after. No one has heard from her since.
Her family reported her missing two weeks later. They said she’d acted strangely before disappearing: quitting her long-time job, moving, and reconnecting with old friends. She’d also recently bought a 9mm handgun, which was left at her ex-boyfriend’s and given to the police.
On the day she disappeared, she’d been drinking and wanted to take their son. Her ex-boyfriend says he threatened to call the police if she took the car, so he took their son inside, leaving Morton outside. When he went back out, she was gone. He suspects she got a ride.
Morton’s family believes something bad happened to her. They say she wouldn’t leave without her car or her son. The case is still a mystery.
